Notes
  1. Some of these teams may be club sides rather than national teams. Philippines was represented by San Miguel.[3] The Chinese Taipei team within the top 8 is the national team[4] Canada is represented by its B national team[5]
  2. Exact naming of the Groupings (e.g. Group "X") is unknown
  3. First title was won as "Northern Cement" basketball team.
gollark: Quite a lot of the time you can use Linux, or run Windows in a VM, or use Wine, or dual-boot, or something.
gollark: There would still be bones...
gollark: I hope they aren't still stuck in there.
gollark: It works for me, since I can just shut down everything and rewire it periodically. Also, fewer cables.
gollark: I just let the messes and randomly tangled cables build up.
