World of Tanks news » Memorial Day Weekend Tournament

Sidi Bou Zid Challenge

Tankers!

Continuing with our celebration of National Military Appreciation Month, we've got a huge set of tournaments for all of our eSports veterans and new recruits for a Memorial Day weekend tournament. This will culminate in a tier X tournament on Memorial Day afternoon.

These tournaments will occur on May 24th, 25th, and 26th at the same time every day -- the tier X tournament will start at a different time on Memorial Day. Teams are invited to register for any combination of tournaments they like, but keep in mind that the low and high tier tournaments occur simultaneously each day (don't register for both on the same day!). Best of luck to all the brave tankers that take to the field!
