When a lot of Pro-Teams are knocked out of their leagues during their relegation matches you know you’ve got some great tank action brewing,
and on the same vein Go4WoT is giving us lots of fantastic results.
Is this a sign for things to come, I hope so!
I'm Luke “Dorjan” Kneller and this is the International eSports show.
The Wargaming Dot Net League North America has concluded its promotion playoffs and relegations.
As you know, the NA league has two brackets, and the bottom two from each Bracket are auto-demoted.
Among them are WAR & PEACE; a very old team that represented North American in Ural Steel 2012.
Not to go out without a fight they reshuffled the team in preparation for the Open Qualifiers,
however, after losing in round 1 of the first qualifier they decided to withdraw their entry in the second.
One of the team's from the massive clan SIMP; SIMPLISTIC, also drop from Bravo bracket.
Group Alpha loses Burn All Empires and Cap Fast Nation.
To replace these teams we have the winners from the Major Series Sperglords and the second placed, Russian speaking; hashtag RU.
The open Qualifiers had a more interesting story to tell, as The GooglyBobbers took down Victorious Secret in the first qualifier.
Then, although Victorious Secret being the only team that reached the finals of both qualifiers, they loss to "T32 Best Tier 8 2013".
And yes that's really their name.
The thing is; Victorious Secret actually beat "T32 Best Tier 8 2013" in the first Qualifier! Better luck next season guys.
From the relegation matches; GAME-OVER, No Limit and the Cazadores are staying for season 3
making Wreak Havok the only Pro-Team team to succumb to relegation.
For our European friends things went much worse for the Pro-Teams
as Team WD, SPALE and Playing Ducks all drop to be replaced by fresh new faces although some old favorites too!
eSuba.INTEL and Lucky Kuraki return from a brief period outside the league joined by FreeFall and WUSA as reported last episode,
you can catch up with that here.
So with the leagues all sorted for next season let's take a look at Go4WoT where teams from around the world battle it out for Gold.
On that note; are you and your clan-mates getting the hang of Team Battles?
Winning most of your matches and thinking that you're good enough to give the pro's a run for their money?
Well then, you can join Go4WoT for free and battle alongside amateur teams like mine
or Pro-Teams like WCG Silver medal winners WUSA in the attempt to fight for pride, bragging rights and Gold.
So in the last few weeks there were some really cool results
like Polish Team’s FAME! and Stronk Siema PL regularly taking down pro teams like Na`Vi, DeNova, Team WD, Kazna Kru
and even the currently number 1 Polish team Mousesports!
Another great team to watch out for is Romanian team The Homicidal Maniacs.
These guys finished 3rd just behind the Evil Pandas and Na`vi in Go4WoT 141!
As expected however the very top is still dominated by the Pros with Na`Vi, Virtus.PRO and WUSA currently holding the podium.
November’s monthly finals was also won by Na`Vi with Virtus.Pro coming in second, DeNova 3rd and Team Dignitas bringing in the rear.
As usual the monthly final was streamed so if you missed it, I’ve dropped the link into the description below.
If you’ve been paying attention, you’d have noticed we only have a ProTip every other episode.
I’m thinking about featuring Interviews or opinions from pros about anything and everything,
so you can get to know them better on the alternative episode.
