Very cool. It took me a minute to figure out how to read this, and I still don't really understand how you're showing eg semi-finals. More and clearer labels would probably help.

I made a version with all of the knockout matches labelled but it was too cluttered for my tastes. I wanted to keep the language down, in the international spirit of the thing.

Maybe the finals could be larger than the group matches.

I think that would be misleading maybe - the sizes for each stage already match how many teams are not eliminated when they're over, I wouldn't want to alter that

Did I set the threshold at 20% specifically to make sure that Canada got on the main part of the viz even though it's kinda squeezed? You can't prove that.

Very interesting, and thanks for linking the model. I was just thinking of trying my hand at something like that for training purposes, now I have a good example to start with. :)

As a Leafs fan seeing a rainbow death crab for yet another competition my team will likely exit in the first round is sad, but in a fun new way

This is a really amazing visualisation! Did you come up with the style?

Thanks! Certainly the layout itself is mine but the style is just a sankey, really. I've done it for a few different tournaments now.
