On this web page:
https://www.fanime.com/exhibits/gaming/egaming/egaming-tournament-details/
It states that the Sign-Up Cap for the League of Legends tournament is 15 teams.

Why 15 and not 16?
16 entries = full tournament bracket
Who is team #15 supposed to battle in the first round if there is no 16th team?
