IGN Prime World of Tanks Tournament Page Now Live

GeneralDirection: The reason it's limited to tier III is because the tournament is part of a promotion with IGN to bring new players into the game. That's what the intent behind the free M3 Stuart, 750 gold and a week of premium was. So we also set up a tournament for those IGN Prime members who would become new players, and knew that it wasn't reasonable to expect them to have a comfortable experience with higher tier vehicles in the tournament.
The premium tanks aren't the only rewards for placing in the top 4 teams, though -- there's also a full compliment of nice PC hardware.
That said, I'm sorry you weren't interested in the tournament. Perhaps the next one we plan will be more enticing for you.
