Qualification
it had none lol, but there was a notable disqualification in Group C by Jason, who refused to take on the contest, but was replaced by Jose, which left him in 4th.[1 ], on the wakening of the first User competition there was new users such as Arkenar, Cilindar, which brought up really big results than expected at first, Bozita went under the flag of Kosovo, Arkenar under the flag of South Korea, Cilindar and Meeerko under Serbia, there were no other confirmed entries on this one.

The competition sadly didn't take on with people like North, Smy, TRB, Draki, Tinand, Red, IMC, Roundeyes, South, Terrr, or Jason.[4 ]

Australasian Users Confederation

The ASUC however, went unsuccesful this time, with one losing to Bain, one losing on group stage, and one losing to the finals, making the asians the least-expectable group to win. Americanos Users Confederation

the AUC sent the only female entry on the competition, Floofy, for the match, she got last on Group H. Native Americanos Football Federation

the NAFF decided to send their only user, instead of Akko, they send out Jose, as a replacement for Jason, which did average, he lost to both Cilindar and Pixl, leaving him on 4th place on the UC. Union of Retards Football Association

The URFA however, went succesful on the game, with most of the teammates going on sparse groups, that meant it wasn't difficult for the Europeans to win 3rd and 1st place on the UC.

Draw
2018 User Competition Seeding

The draw was held on 7 June 2018 at Bain's Server in Taranto. The 32 users were drawn into 8 groups of 4, by selecting one team from each of the 4 ranked pots, it was decided by a number generator. [2 ]

For the draw, the teams were allocated to four pots instead of 2017's 2 pots. Pot 1 contained the hosts Antonio (who was automatically assigned to position A1) and the popular seven users, Pot 2 contained the next best eight teams, and so on for pots 3 and 4. [3 ]

This was different from previous draws, when only pot 1 was based on behaviour while the remaining pots were based on similarities.
