Clan Wars Map Exhibition: Northwest

Hypnotik: Hello Clan Wars players,   The time has come for the next tournament in the Map Exhibition series, and this time around you'll be playing on Northwest. Northwest is a 1,000m x 1,000m map based in the Rocky Mountains of North America, with several elevations and features to fight around. You may have also heard that it received a little bit of re-work for update 8.11, which is coming soon.   Map Preview         Minimap Changes 8.10 8.11     Stage 1 will be round-robin play to narrow the field down to 40. Stage 2 will be a second round-robin day, and each of the 4 divisions will send 2 teams to the playoffs. We will again be streaming the final day (Semi-finals and Championship) on twitch.tv/wargaming.   Improvements Since the Previous Exhibition All rounds will now be played at 5PM PST (8PM EST), except the final round which will begin at 4PM PST (7PM EST) so it may be casted live on Twitch again by the two greatest announcers in the world (Q/Hyp, obviously).   We are also eliminating the double-battle feature on the second day. It was an interesting twist and we liked that it tested the depth of clans' rosters, but it made the tournament more expensive to participate in and raised the barrier of entry a little bit too high for many clans. In addition, now that Clan Wars has started back up, you'll need some of those players for your CW battles.   The 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.   Each Clan is ONLY allowed to submit ONE team. All players on each team MUST be in the Clan represented by the tournament team.     [OTTER]                             [OTTER]     [-_-]               [-_-]           [SM0KE]       [OTTER]       [BADGR]                               [CHAI]                       [CHAI]                       [OTTER]   [FORGE]         Champion                     [FORGE]                       [HHL]                   [NTR]       [ACA]                               [NTR]       [D-O-S]               [NTR]           [NTR]
