Official Statement of Participants of URAL STEEL regarding WG CEO's interview at TankFest

Tanitha: I understand the players concerns regarding this issue. The words used could have been better chosen, it was a distracting casual environment while coughing and being a non native English speaker but please understand that there was no malicious intent or offense intended. In fact there was many compliments within the statement about the polish players who had dominated in the past and how they were hot favorites at the Ural Steel and expected to win, but didn't.
As for the critical hit location skins, they are currently and always have been deemed legal, you can even find them in the creativity section of our forums. Using them is not a cheat nor is it prohibited and they can provide players with a small advantage if they wish to use them especially in a dog fight at close range. The topic of the discussion was these legal skins, referring to people possibly using them for an advantage is not referring to anyone as a cheat, since they are legal.
I do apologize if you or anyone felt offended by the statement. But again that was not the meaning or the intention.
There will be no official reply from Wargaming.net CEO and as such I have been requested to close this topic.
Regards
Tanitha.
