HIGHLIGHTS

		THE VENUE The EXPO XXI center is a modern hall equipped with everything an eSports event needs: good transportation to the location, a massive amount of interior space, and a top-of-the-line internet connection. All this makes the eSports experience something you won't forget, regardless if you're there in person or watching the livestream.
THE ESPORTS TOURNAMENT FORMAT The last step of evolution in the competitive scene was changing the amount of points teams can spend on vehicles, as well as the game mode. Now the League plays in a 7 vs. 7 format, with each team having 54 tier points available to spend on vehicles up to tier VIII. Games are played in the attack / defense mode, where one team is protecting two bases, while the other is attempting to outmaneuver the defenders to capture them, or destroy all their vehicles.
		THE STREAM The Grand Finals will be streamed live in English and Russian. At the moment, these are the only two confirmed official streaming languages. However, we will be doing our best to support additional language streams during the event. Look for more information on this topic soon!
