lord_farquad:   It's actually based off of the playoffs for all 3 seasons. Since Fnatic placed 1st twice and 2nd once, while SIMP placed 2nd twice and 1st once, Fnatic had more GF qualifying points and thus was seeded higher.

dance210: Alright, everyone needs to take a breath.   If there was a problem (tech defeats when readied up, or other disputes) you need to send in an email to tournaments@wargamingamerica.com, TONIGHT. Include any/all screenshots that you may have.   Why do I need this? So that I can see how widespread it is and make sure there was no issue on the back end. This will help us determine if the issue was specific to a certain playoff(s) or if it was hit or miss amongst all the playoffs. Without those reports, there is little that I can do.   And FYI, Deus was correct. If you ready up with more than the allowed tier points (e.g. 15 instead of 13) your team will get a Tech Defeat.   Hellblze, not all fights will be "fair" simply because teams are at different skill levels, with or without seeding. I have been on a team that won 3-0...I've also been on a team that lost 0-3. Deus was trying to point out that not all matches were 3-0, which means that not everything was Tech Victory/Tech Defeats. If you have questions about the rules, please feel free to ask. We list the maximums; teams are welcome to bring less, UNLESS it is stated otherwise (e.g. teams must bring one Tier 5 tank to each battle or teams must field 5 players for every match).

dance210:   Unless that player has an alt account, the system rejects a player trying to sign up for more than one team for the same tournament ;)  

dance210:   As with all our tournaments, it could take up to a week from the end of the tournament for the gold to be distributed to players accounts.

pizzastorm:   There are still plenty of places to snipe from. They just reduced it from the ENTIRE map to parts of it.

pizzastorm: A big thanks to Togood2222 for making the awesome maps walkthrough!   

pizzastorm:   This is a good point. Our map designers want to make sure that the maps are instantly recognizable and capture the spirit of the location. It is difficult to do this in a map without including some of the characteristics that the area is well known for. With the continuous inclusion of new maps in the future, there will be more of a chance to see a wider spectrum of locals.  

pizzastorm: Doesn't sound like much of a change.  Malinovka even sounds like it is going back to the way it used to be a couple years ago.   So, is 9.0 pretty much a fluffware release? While the changes may not seem like much to you, I feel like they are going make some pretty significant changes in the game meta. I for one am looking forward to this since I am curious to see what new strategies become viable. A lot of thought goes into these reworks and they really should make the maps more dynamic. When you get a feel of the new maps after the release of 9.0 we would love to hear what you think about them!   

Pigeon_of_War: Hey  Tankers,   So the J!nx codes are all used up. There are a limited amount of them  and they went pretty quickly. Sorry about any confusion in the matter. Hopefully we can get you another code soon enough. Stay tuned tot he Home page as usual! 

Pigeon_of_War: Hey IsaacTheChucky,   You are one of the few I heard of that wanted to remove the Karl. To each their own.  Well, it is currently on a timer so it will go away here in a couple of days. If for some reason you absolutely must have it removed, we can do that here in Support. Just send us a ticket and it can be handled quickly.  Please bear in mind, once its removed from your garage, we can never re-institute it back.     

dance210:   It's the one that is titled "Grand Finals Warsaw 2014." For me it is at the top when you click the video tab...it is also 8 hours.   This link may take you directly there: http://www.twitch.tv/wglna/b/516946961

dance210:   Lemming Train won Group A Red Unity won Group B   For those interested, the video for today's matches are up on www.twitch.tv/wglna.

dance210:   No. A player is only allowed to sign up for one team.

Trevzor: Hey there,   Try removing the preference file all together. This will reset your preferences to default.   This should help you get back in to the match.

dance210: Battles for tonight are now scheduled.   As a reminder, all teams with a "bye" will be moved forward to the next round when the matches are scheduled tomorrow.   Good luck all 

Captain_Judo:   Interesting to hear the twitch reaction. It was a different story live. You could hear a pin drop after that win!

Captain_Judo:   ^this X 1000! I know it was early for you guys to catch, but what a jaw dropping performance that was.    If you missed it [spoiler alert] SIMP marched through the group of death like the champs that they are. They went all the way to the final round, final battle before losing to the home team, Lemming Train. So impressed!

HBFT: If you are involved with the Public Test Server, sometimes double-clicking on your replay will automatically try to run your replay through the Test Server client.   If this is the case, it may be helpful to try and "drag and drop" your replay onto the 8.11 World of Tanks executable.

Trevzor: Heyo!   Try running the launcher with the -integrity switch on. If there are missing or corrupt files, the integrity check will pick up on them and redownload them.   Create a shortcut for WOTLauncher.exe and under properties add -integrity to the end of the Target (with a space between the last e in exe and the -)

dance210:   They weren't.   If you have an issue with a payout, please send an email to tournaments@wargamingamerica.com, giving us your in-game name, the problem, and the tournament in question. Once we have that information, we should be able to help :)

dance210:   You would have known by now.   I posted in the Group Standings page, but there are no tie-breakers for this  match. Good luck to all the teams in the Alpha and Bravo playoffs!

Trevzor:   Right now the wrapper defaults to the NA server group. We are currently doing the initial testing in the NA region. Testing and/or release may expand out to all regions in the future, but if/when that will happen I don't personally know.  

Trevzor:   This is a known issue with the wrapper. I've experienced it on every Mac I have ran it on. Thank you for the report, though!

pizzastorm: Thanks for posting your thoughts but as some other players so kindly pointed out, there is a official thread you can leave your feedback in. http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/345114-official-top-secret-tank-event-karl-feedback/   We are definitely reading them all and providing the feedback to the devs. 

pizzastorm: Yeah this map can be a tough one for heavies sometimes. I usually head to the hill if there are no arty around.

pizzastorm: I love these videos

Trevzor:   Hey there,   Can you do me a favor and follow these Guidelines when submitting a report about issues you are having with our Mac Wrapper.   We need to know all of this information so we can report back to our developers about any problems our users are having.   Thanks!

Trevzor: Hey there!   In my testing of the Mac Wrapper I could not get a file drop system to work. If you somehow can, I will be very interested in knowing how.    Fair warning, all of my attempts to change the wrapper itself has resulted in it not functioning anymore and that, generally, requires a clean install.   Good luck, I'll be watching this thread to see how everything goes.

Trevzor:   Unfortunately, right now our wrapper only works for the live client. It will download, install, and run the game all on its own. No extra client download needed.   There may be the ability to use the test server in the future, but as we are in the early testing phase of this wrapper, we are sticking to the live client for now.

Hypnotik: Yes, it will take a few days - anyone who faced us has until Friday morning to send us a link to their stream to double their gold, so we can't submit the payouts until then. And I really thought the hellcats would win it, everyone keeps telling me they're OP.
