Wargaming.net, the online gaming developer owned by Cyprus-based Wargaming Public Co., will be hosting the 2015 grand finals of the eSports league in Warsaw this weekend, with the champion taking home a slice of the $300,000 prize money.
The flagship MMO (massively multiplayer online) game “World of Tanks”, launched in 2010, has 110 mln registered players who compete with each other on www.wargaming.com with 500 different types of tanks. Making up Wargaming’s trilogy of games is the “World of Warplanes” and the new “War of Warships”.
To celebrate the grand finals in Warsaw, Wargaming will be rolling out the brand-new AMX 13 57, a Tier 7 French medium tank which is a swift shooter, great credit maker and comes with a unique Wargaming.net League paint job.
As well as watching the 12 teams going head-to-head, there will be loads more entertainment, said the organisers. Wargaming will have two tanks outside the venue: a T34/85 and the M4AI Sherman for people to snap pictures and learn about their history.
Attendees can get their hands on some Wargaming swag and other items from event partners and official giveaways and can also win merchandising clothing and accessories. The MGT-20, Wargaming’s official military gaming truck will be rolling into the arena. It is fitted with 14 PCs and attendees can sign up for 7-vs-7 tournaments during breaks to test their skills.
Sponsors will also have their own areas. At the Red Bull stand, players can try their hand at World of Tanks Blitz on iPad with multiple fun setups. Musterbrand will be showing off their World of Tanks clothing line and the paysafecard area will host quizzes letting visitors test their knowledge of World of Tanks and military warfare.
Admission to the grand finals is free, no tickets or pre-registration required.
All matches will be live streamed from the official Wargaming.net League channel on Twitch.tv in English, Russian and Polish.
