“A crew that wanted to compete in the team matches was required to register and pass the qualification. We organized the matches for teams from Penza and the region, about 20 teams in total. The four strongest crews will compete in the finals, and a well-known CIS streamer from St. Petersburg, nicknamed Vspishka, will be the announcer for the team tournament,” the speaker added.

We will have 36 PCs at the event for the matches, and all the ‘tankmen’ will be invited to play using the special WoT service accounts – first come, first served,” the PR manager of Wargaming.net explained.

The three best players in the individuals will receive prizes, he said.
