Tankers!
We're excited to announce the Ural Steel 2012 international tournament! The North American server will be sending the top 4 qualifying teams to represent the NA server in Moscow for the Grand Finals.
Players will be competing for glory, the admiration of their fellow tankers, and a $77,000 prize pool.
