bin. You can literally get 20k gold for just shooting the red tanks
more than your team if someone else is doing the yolo moves/spots.
I think I'm getting something like 7 days of premium by just
driving in first/taking the shots and letting my bobs shoot the
tanks. The tournament as a whole felt pretty good, but it was
pretty hard to care about it when I saw that I'm not going to get
anything useful just after 2 days of playing even though we
got 36 points since I didn't farm enough damage or play tank that
can ram the enemies for 300 extra dmg every round.
I (and my team) really
hated to play Redshire, the map is way too easy to camp on and
doesn't require any kind of aggression. The cap is too open to
actually put any sort of effective cap pressure in 3v3 since the
tank capping can either be crossfired without complete map
control and knowledge of enemy tanks locations or can't
effectively participate in a brawl. We thought Erlenberg
would be the same, but actually it felt surprisingly okay,
since the cap is very well covered the enemies need to come close
to either reset or just drive in the circle, and since you can
cross the river way easier nowadays, it made it easier to do
an aggressive push on the enemies if you only knew the side of the
river they were on. I still think the map is not really good for
the format because of all the camp spots and the game always
comes down to the same location (middle/cap circle).
Malinovka felt fine, but it might be due to the fact that all our 4
games were hill brawls. The map could be camped/intentionally
drawed pretty easily from both sides. Sand river
felt good, the map was actually pretty good to play on, had pretty
bad expectations towards it but it seemed to be a fast-paced
engagement or a camp you could actually break with careful
capping and such. Could be put into the daily tournament rotation
imo, I won't play them anyway but whatever. Way better/balanced
than Mines for example. CLRG: Hello there 
Thanks for the awesome feedback. The map testing
is exactly what this tournament was about, so it's great for us to
see which maps worked and which ones we should avoid in the daily
rotation. I'm glad the team had nice surprises on some of them. We
will test out Redshire a bit more in week 2 and see what we do with
it afterwards. The "traditional rotation" is: Himmelsdorf, Ensk,
Lakeville, Mines, Ruinberg. Do you feel that some of the Pathfinder
maps would be better choices than these? We're interested to see
what you think on this. Regarding the damage variable,
we more or less expected what you mention, but we still thought it
would be a nice one-time tweak for this specific competition.
It's not necessarily something we want to introduce on the long
run, but we want to throw in more "unusual" formats in the weeks to
come, just to spice things up a little, and offer you a chance to
play with reward conditions you don't find in normal battles.
So don't be surprised if some strange rules show up in the near
future (spoiler: one of our next ideas is a tournament with reduced
cap time!). Also, I had hoped that having physical prizes for top
damage dealers (as opposed to teams ranked 1st) would allow
the non-potential winners (ie-teams that would finish 3-6) to have
a decent shot at scoring hardware for once. We are in the process
of calculating all of this, so we'll see if this turns out to be
wishful thinking. 
Thanks again for sharing your feedback.

the start of week 2. We should be able to do so. I need to point
out that the portal article specifically said the results would be
here at "the end of the competition", which means... after week 2.
Giving ourselves a little security margin, so don't hold your
breath!

now (Easter daaa...?) Give them some break... they also have a life
and family... not only world of tanks forum to checkCLRG: Thank you for thinking of us. We hope you had a nice family time. Personally, on an
Easter egg hunt, I found a chocolate
duckling. I chose to bite the head off first.
For the record, managing the tournaments and associated
forums is (part of) the work of a small team, and it is correct to
say that unless there is a tournament planned we usually don't work
on weekends or bank holidays. Still, we aim to never leave you guys hanging
without an answer for too long. Also, it should be noted that many
times, all the questions asked here can find an answer on the
portal news. Wow, shots fired!
