This is the thread to sign up for World Cup captaincy. This is going up prior to player sign-ups so that hosts can have some idea of what teams will be competing this year. If you want to lead a team this year you must post here.
Expected returning teams are as follows:
Asia
Brazil
Europe
France
Germany
Greece
Italy
Latin America
Oceania
Spain
US Midwest
US Northeast
US West
Brazil
Europe
France
Germany
Greece
Italy
Latin America
Oceania
Spain
US Midwest
US Northeast
US West
All of the above teams have qualified based on their WCOP 2020 performance. Team US South, Team India and Team Canada are up for relegation (see the format here), and if all of the above teams return, they must play a qualifier to be included in this year's WCOP. Any teams who did not participate in Round 1 of WCOP 2020 must also participate in a qualifier if they wish to enter this year.
Please note that we will not be accepting alternative versions of teams (such as Spain #2) or expanded/multi-country teams (such as Spain + Portugal or Benelux). Additionally, the only United States teams that will be allowed are the ones mentioned above.
Also, please only post here if you are applying for captaincy. Like the SPL thread, this will be moderated and memes/nonsense will be deleted and possibly infracted. If you have any legitimate questions or concerns then feel free to PM us and we will address them.
