Blitz To Meet You!
Good day Blitz players,
all around the world,
wherever you are!
We are back with this 3rd episode of BTMY
after a very successful 2nd episode!
We are so glad to see you enjoying
those videos so be ready for more!
BTW, this time,
I will skip the “What’s New” corner
to focus more on other topics.
Let’s start away with what you are all waiting for,
which is the Roadmap update.
Go Blitz Go!
ROADMAP UPDATE
You might remember
that we discussed a new game mode
in the very first episode of BTMY.
Well I got some news for you!
Actually the new game mode
is coming rather soon
and is called “Supremacy”.
We used to call it internally
“Point of interests”,
which might describe it better.
Basically both teams will have
to control or capture a few numbers
of strategic points on the map.
Let’s have a look at some screenshots
so that you can understand better.
First let’s explain
the upper side of the screen.
This part represents
the overall progress bar,
and the amount of points
both teams have accumulated
It can increase or decrease,
depending on the points captured,
if enemy tanks have been destroyed,
or else.
There will be many ways
of increasing or decreasing points
depending on players’ actions,
creating a very dynamic
and fun gameplay.
You can also see that each point
can be captured individually.
First it’s white,
which means neutral,
then turns green and/or red
representing each team’s color.
When a point is fully captured
the shape changes from a square
to a flag-like shape
and gets the color
of the team who captured it.
The winning conditions are simple:
1) first team gaining
the required number of points
2) destroy all enemy tanks
3) team with the most points
at the end of the battle timer,
which is 7 minutes
Another important thing
will be the communication between players,
which will be the key to win the battle.
As you can see we added each point
to the radial menu
where you can designate
which point you are targeting.
Via new touching interfaces
you can even select a point
and select another player
to give him instructions on what to do.
Also there will be a lot of information
on screen to explain what is happening,
for example when a teammate
or the enemy is capturing a point.
We hope you will like
this new mode which will be a great adding to the game.
Without radically changing the gameplay it will add
a new breath to battles,
and allow you to make new kind of tactics
and interact differently with each other.
I know you will have a lot of questions
and we’ll see a lot of comments
about it in the video.
I’m sorry I won’t be able to answer to them all,
but don’t worry,
more detailed information
will be coming soon!
A BIT ABOUT US
This time I will finish talking about our Publishing team
by presenting 3 other key members
of our crew.
Ladies first! Olia!.
Olia is our Marketing Product Manager
and has been working at WG for 3 years.
She helps all regions
to sync globally and optimize
the marketing efforts for the game,
like the different campaigns,
offline events.
It is very important to make sure that we always have
new Blitz fans coming into the game.
She likes to do yoga, travel,
and understand other cultures.
She is a gamer as well,
and she prefers to impersonate girls,
like Princess Ida in Monument Valley
or Lara Croft in Lara Croft GO.
BTW, I heard she would like
to implement more girly tanks in Blitz…
what do you think?
I think it’s a great idea!
Then, our big boss: Andrey!
Andrey is our Publishing Product Director,
meaning that he is responsible
for the overall success of the game globally.
On top of being a super cool guy
Andrey has been working for nine years
in the mobile game industry
and is working at WG since 2013.
He like playing WoTB, DOTA,
and all new fresh games that come out.
His favorite TV show is Peppa Pig
since he’s watching it with his little girl.
Oh and he is also a big soccer fan
and especially the CSKA Moscow.
Then last but not least,
my good buddy Costa!
Costa is our Swiss army knife
and is called a Global Integration Manager,
meaning that he’s providing support,
you know by assisting the regional publishing teams,
helping them in planning or preparing
for big events and activities and such.
He’s basically making
our work much easier,
and I would like to personally
thank him for all of that!
By the way I heard that his dream
is to visit Japan…
I’ll do my best to make this come true!
He’s also a WoT PC avid gamer
with more than 13k battles played on his primary account,
took the 1st place in the internal Wargaming WoT PC Tournament,
and he’s now a WoT Blitz addict.
He likes indie rock music,
travelling, meeting new people,
fishing, hiking, playing squash,
volleyball, soccer… He’s awesome!
To finish, it’s time for a vote!

FROM THE PLAYERS
Finally, a very special “From the Players” corner,
as I will do the 1st of a new series
called “Player Profile”.
This time I’d like to introduce you
to an Asia server player called Bushka.
Ah…Bushka!
He’s one of our video contributors
and has a super nice Youtube Channel
called “Bushka On Blitz”,
where he does video reviews, guides,
and even streaming sessions
where I sometimes intervene
by doing some kind of strange platoons or talk,
you know, with the other players on the chat.
Let’s get to know him better!
Hello Bushka, Blitz to see you,
how are you mate?!
Hello Oz.
How’re you doing Sunshine. Great to be here.
Love the Tshirt mate. BLITZ TO MEET YA.
Little bit of Bushka on your front end doesn’t look to bad either mate.
Can you tell us a bit more about
what brought you to World of Tanks,
and to World of Tanks Blitz particularly?
Mate I started playing blitz because my son was playing Blitz.
Until then I had no idea it even existed.
But I wanted to platoon with him, and he’s only a young fella
and I wanted to do something that we could do together.
So blitz was perfect
and its one of the best parts about the game,
is the ability to play with your mates, or against them.
So you’re quite a big fan!
What brought you to make videos,
or streaming sessions?
I’m a huge fan of the game
and I started making videos to find out
what was wrong with the way I played
because I was losing a lot
and that kind of evolved over a long period of time
into the youtube channel Bushkaonblitz which has gone berserk.
We’re over 11000 subs now
and we’re streaming with hundreds of people
watching every week.
Pretty happy days.
I heard that you also have
you own BushkaOnBlitz shop!
Tell us more about that!
Oh and by the way, thank you for the t-shirt!
Yeah we got a t-shirt shop!
I had to have a t-shirt shop
to send t-shirts out to the subs
when we did the 10,000 sub live stream.
The only way to give the prizes was to build a shot!
Yeah talk about getting it backwards.
Anyway yeah, now there’s people
sending me photos of them.
I got a bloke in Cardiff the other day
sent me a picture of himself in the shirt,
it’s just a weird world but it’s an awesome place!
A final word to the Blitz community?
I’d just like to say thank you
to all the guys and girls out there who make the community what it is,
who let me be a part of it and who support the channel,
particularly those who turn up in the streams
and talk in the forums and everything.
I think Training rooms
has been a massively positive impact for the game.
It’s allowed people to congregate as more of a community,
you can play with more of your friends
and it’s allowed me to bring subscribers into a wider setting
and have a lot more fun.
So rock on team,
keep doing what you’re doing!
Thank you so much Bushka
to all you hard work,
dedication and great videos.
I look forward
to our future collaborations
around Training Rooms
If you want to be part of the streamer
or video contributor program,
we open regular forum threads
on the different regional forums
where you can apply.
If you are selected,
you can receive monthly Gold reward,
early build access,
