World Cup 41 was hosted by Ad'ihan and Daehanjeiguk. Starblaydia won the tournament and their third title, beating Capitalizt SLANI in the final match at Protectorate Stadium in Ad'ihan. Despite a large number of top-32 (28, including the hosts) teams entering into the final competition, the World Cup itself was the stage of several notable upsets, where nearly half of the teams entering the second round were outside the top-16. This included the eventual Champions, Starblaydia, who were ranked at 21st going into the Finals, and defeated the 1st and 2nd rank sides respectively in the last two rounds.
