WCoP 2025 format

[Vileman]

Hello,
As we start another year, some teams are already looking into preparing themselves for the following wcop. And for that it would be great to know if the format will be the same as last year, or if it will change.

Personally the format felt ok. Low tiers (ubers, uu) did feel a bit out of place and like they were very different tiers from the rest (uu specifically), so I would not be opposed to replacing those with other slots (more sv ou, more old gens).
But that's just my opinion, keeping the same tiers would be fine and fun.

So @tournament directors if we could get an update on this asap to get people to grind their tiers that'd be great, thanks!

keep format imo

more oldgens would isolate newer teams arguably

full cg is boring + 8 games feels like too few compared to spl having 12 especially (and 10 cg would be Extra boring so)

I endorse Finchinator and ABR’s endorsement and declare this thread concluded. Go back to whatever you were doing everyone.

Speaking solely as a UU player, all thoughts are my own.

I really enjoyed the 2024 format, especially for lower tiers. After years of being stale and boring, it truly felt like you had the best of the best competing out there. You had players plenty of star quality in the slots like Punny, viv, etern, and Liam, alongside other higher level players like udongirl, Mimilucha, FoulPlayG, and LowTier. UU, alongside Ubers, are also far more accessible than any of the older gens, where it is tougher to find more players. This isn’t a gripe against the old gens, I love their inclusions as well, but the lower tiers have far more activity on ladder, being the most played outside of OU, rands, ND, and VGC.

Keep format please, should be cut and dry.

The format is not changing for 2025.
