Just around the corner is the very last chance professional World of Tanks players have to qualify for the Global Finals in Poland later in 2014. Held in Tychy, Poland, the European Season 3 Finals will see €100,000 awarded to the team that plays best over the two competition days. Six teams will battle it out, of which only a maximum of two will qualify for the Global Finals. Who will make it?
The top three teams are currently Team Dignitas, Virtus Pro and Mousesports, but this means little going into the Regional Finals. As previous finals have shown, World of Tanks professional teams’ offline playstyle is radically different to their online performances throughout the season. With Virtus Pro boasting an impressive offline tournament record and qualifying for the finals as one of the top teams, they are clearly one of the favourites to win. However, Team Dignitas, who lost only three of their eighteen games throughout the season, are on top form and eager to prove themselves. Meanwhile, DeNova, Kazna Kru and Evil Panda Squad are just as able to take the Season Title come January 25th.
The six teams qualified for the Season 3 Finals will face off on the 24th and 25th of January at the Old Brewery in Tychy, Poland. Veteran World of Tanks host, Mitch ‘Uber’ Leslie, will be on scene to guide both online and offline viewers through the two-day event. He will be joined by Social Media Host, Melek ‘m3lly’ Balgün, with in-game commentary from Lauren ‘Pansy’ Scott and Oliver ‘Laughter’ Maxfield.
Steven Neale, World of Tanks Product Manager at Turtle Entertainment GmbH, said ahead of the tournament, "2013 was a great year packed with great games and a lot of emotion. As the third season comes to a close, we are looking forward to hosting a thrilling event in Tychy, where we determine which of the teams will move on to the Grand Finals."
For those who cannot make it out to Poland for the event, the Finals will be streamed online on ESL TV. Tune in on the 24th and 25th of January for some of the best tank action in Europe.
