Wargaming’s tank simulation World of Tanks is particularly popular in Eastern Europe and Asia. It is also gaining traction in eSports.
These days, a $90,000 eSports tournament is taking place in Minsk, Belarus, in World of Tanks. Out of the original 20 teams, only 4 remain. Two from Russia, and two others from former Soviet Union states. The event is the LAN finals of the Wargaming.net League (WGL).
The format used is called 42/7 – each team consists of 7 players who can distribute a total of 42 “Tank Points” among themselves. Each tank is assigned a “value” in this format that reflects its strength. So if one player chooses a powerful tank, another must select a below-average one. This adds an extra strategic component to each match.
The favorite for the tournament is the team “M1ND”. They remain unbeaten this season.
