Round 2 over

VWBC
Now in its second month of existence, the 2nd round of the VWBC has now concluded. This round has narrowed the field to 16, and has weeded out the faint-hearted and produced what is now the cream of the crop, 16 teams that have made it past the first two rounds. After two rounds, we are left with 11 top four seeds out of the original 16. By this number, you can tell that so far there have been few major upsets so far in the VWBC. The only true cinderella stories now are Liechtenstein and Qatar, the only two teams left that were not in the bottom 7 seeds. Besides those two, these teams have yet to be truly tested, with the low seeds going up against relatively weak teams so far. But that is all about to change. In round 3, (also known as the regional semifinals) every matchup will contain at least one, usually two, top 4 seeds. There will be no free passes to round 4, the regional finals. To get past the coming round, a team will truly have to be one of the best in the world.
