New beginnings: a look at World of Tanks esports changes

For a long time, World of Tanks has struggled to find a format that can be enjoyed by viewers. The potential has always been there as the game blends tactical team play and individual skill perfectly, but it has changed since the original inception of the esports format (seven tanks and 42 tier points) making it no longer viable for spectators.
After the grand finals in Warsaw, Poland, it was clear that changes needed to be made, and in cooperation with players Wargaming began working on an entirely new format for World of Tanks esports to be played in.
You can read all the changes in full over here.
This new game mode has been added to the client with patch 9.4, so if you haven’t checked it out yet you should definitely have a go - it’s a blast!
Season 5 of the Wargaming League Europe kicks off on the 17th of November at 18:30 CET over on Twitch.tv/wgleu, with the 12 top teams in Europe to battle for the title of best in Europe and a slot at the grand finals.
