Hypnotik: Pearl River will also have its day... soonTM.

Campagnolo:   As the others have said, you most likely have the "Accelerate Crew Training" option enabled!

dance210:   No one is siding with anyone. Tier limits are set to the highest tier allowed; however it is not possible to set limits for each tank type. Which means, that it is up to each team to know the rules, both for themselves as well as for their opponent in the case of disputes.   Any mess ups tonight are solely on the team captains that refused to obey the posted tournament rules; yourself included by your own admission. As someone else stated, send in the dispute with your screenshots and we will take care of it.   Thanks.

dance210: As a general reminder: any team that ran into an opponent that brought an illegal tank line-up or otherwise broke the rules (e.g. Tier IX TD or SPG) needs to submit a dispute to tournaments@wargamingamerica.com following the guidelines posted, TONIGHT.   Failure to do so, or attempting to discuss the dispute on the forums before it has been resolved, could result in your dispute being disregarded.   Thank you.

Hypnotik: Part of the challenge of this tournament series is the fact that these maps are new (or recently re-worked), and clans have to try multiple ideas to see what works. Maps that are brand new will have more lead-in time than re-worked maps, since you should already have a pretty solid strategic foundation to work from with re-worked maps.  

Hypnotik: That can be part of the strategy of map picking. If both teams don't like a map, and know that the other will likely vote it off, you can pick a different one to veto, and get the exact map you want. Or maybe both will get do this strategy and get stuck on that map they don't want. It's the esports equivalent to the Prisoner's Dilemma.  

Hypnotik: This is why we've had it for a while in [WGA-A]. We haven't found another clan close enough to our level yet to give it to (not even WGA-B), but you guys in OTTER always have the test server, right?  

Hypnotik: If 9.0 is not released in time for this tournament, the tournament will get pushed back by a week at a time until 9.0 is available.

dance210: Tournament Page Registration for entire tournament Registration for bravo playoff (weekend) only Looking for a Team/Players   Skirmishes now have three days of group play (Monday-Wednesday) followed by a playoff (Friday-Sunday). Teams can choose to play only in the weekend playoff or participate in group play for better seeding and greater prizing.   After completing group play, a standings table will sort all teams across all groups based on points earned against points possible. Prizes are awarded at completion of group play to teams finishing in the top half of the standings. These teams qualify for the Alpha Playoff. All remaining teams qualify for the Bravo Playoff.   Alpha Playoff This playoff consists of the top 50% of group play teams who will play for a larger prize pool. Group play performance will determine playoff seeding.   Bravo Playoff This playoff consists of all remaining teams and includes teams registering solely for the weekend. These teams will compete for a smaller prize pool and the playoff brackets are not seeded.   Both the Alpha & Bravo Playoffs will use multiple brackets holding a maximum of 16 teams. This means multiple winners are awarded prizing for their standing in their respective bracket.   Teams and players may only register once for the skirmish.

If you are  a player looking for a team, or a team looking for players, feel free to post here.

It is encouraged to say what tank(s) you have or are looking for, to make it easier to find players and teams.   There are two separate registrations. State if you are interested in registering for the entire tournament (Group Stage + playoff) or only for the weekend (Bravo Playoff only).

Hypnotik: You also may have seen in the recent article that togood2222 created a series of videos about the changes in each of these maps between version 8.11 and 9.0. Here they are if you didn't get a chance to see them yet:   Severogorsk   Serene Coast   Malinovka

Hypnotik: [TTIME]               [TTIME]           [RDDT]         Map [OTTER]   [OTTER] Serene Coast               [OTTER]             [D-O-S]             [NTR] [RELIC]     Champion           [TMPLR]             [TMPLR]         Map [NTR]   [NTR] Malinovka               [NTR]             [HAVOK]      

Hypnotik: Hello Clan Wars players,   The time has come for April's Clan Wars Map Exhibition, and this time we feature 3 maps - Serene Coast, Severogorsk, and Malinovka - all of which were re-worked for the 9.0 update (you can see our recent article detailing some of these changes here).   Changes since previous Exhibitions: The battles on the final day will now begin at 4:30 PM instead of 4PM The battles on the final day will now be played using the built-in tournament system, rather than training battles.   Register for this tournament!   Each Clan is ONLY allowed to submit ONE team. All players on each team MUST be in the Clan represented by the tournament team.   Prizes 1st: 80,000 Gold 2nd: 40,000 Gold 3rd/4th: 20,000 Gold 5-8th: 10,000 Gold   In addition, all teams that make it to Day 2 (the top 40) will receive 1,000 Gold.   Note: All prizes are awarded to the Clan Treasury.   Schedule: Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Final Day April 19, 2014 April 20, 2014 April 21, 2014 April 22, 2014 Map: Serene Coast Stage Type: Round-Robin Battles Begin: 5:00 PM PST # Teams Advancing: 40 Guaranteed Prize: -- Map: Severogorsk Stage Type: Round-Robin Battles Begin: 5:00 PM PST # Teams Advancing: 8 (2 from each group) Guaranteed Prize: 1,000 Gold Map: Malinovka Stage Type: Playoff Battles Begin: 5:00 PM PST # Teams Advancing: 4 Guaranteed Prize: 10,000 Gold Map: Captains' Choice Stage Type: Playoff Battles Begin: 4:30 PM PST # Teams Advancing: -- Guaranteed Prize: 20,000 Gold   Map Previews: Serene Coast:       Severogorsk:      Malinovka:      Mini-Map Changes: Serene Coast Severogorsk Malinovka     How the "Captain's Choice" works: Each captain of the 4 semi-finalist teams will submit their map choices to Hypnotik via PM in a way similar to the example below: TEAM 1                       TEAM 4           TEAM 2                       TEAM 3     Team 1 will submit their map elimination choices for 3 situations: Their first match, against TEAM 4 The Championship match, in the case that they face TEAM 2 The Championship match, in the case that they face TEAM 3   If both teams eliminate different maps, the remaining one will be played. If both teams eliminate the same map, a coin toss will determine the map played between the two remaining.  

dance210:   Correct. Teams may bring one T-34, but they are not required to bring that tank. They just cannot bring any other Tier V in it's place.

Campagnolo:   Hey hey,   A simple drag-and-drop of the files is enough to uninstall this, as explained by dstud208. What kind of issue are you having ?    -Camp

dance210:   There is no misprint. All tank types are limited to Tier IV. The ONLY exception is that teams are allowed to bring 1 T-34. Yes it is a Tier V. No other tier Vs are allowed.   Does that help clear up your confusion?

Content_WG: The Grand Finals have concluded, and congratulations to the 2014 World Champions!

dance210:   www.twitch.tv/wglna   It has a video of Day 1 of the Warsaw Finals that you can watch.

lord_farquad:   I think the match against VP will be a good indication of how far Fnatic will go this year and IMO will be the match to watch (assuming there's not a big upset and Fnatic or VP lose ofc).

lord_farquad:   I think the match against VP will be a good indication of how far Fnatic will go this year and IMO will be the match to watch (assuming there's not a big upset and Fnatic or VP lose ofc).

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.
