Just Dance World Cup/2019

The World Cup 2019, alternatively subtitled Brazil 2019, was the fifth and final annual World Cup, held in 2018 and 2019 by Ubisoft and Webedia. The competition was announced on June 11, 2018, with online qualifications held weekly from July 20 to August 26, 2018, and offline qualifications held throughout the year. Similar to the previous year, the top online and offline players faced each other in national finals for a spot in the world finals. In countries without in-person qualifiers, the online winner moved directly onto the world finals. The finals were held on March 30, 2019, in São Paulo, Brazil, and were won by Turkish competitor Umutcan Tütüncü for the third year in a row. After the conclusion of the finals, it was announced that the World Cup would be going on hiatus, and no competition has occurred since.https://www.facebook.com/justdancegame/posts/greetings-dancers-the-just-dance-team-is-taking-a-break-from-the-just-dance-worl/1554298121372299/ However, some competitors would compete at the Olympic Esports Series 2023.
