World of Tanks Grand Championship Elite 12 Announced

Wargaming is excited to reveal that the 12 elite teams competing at the Grand Finals in Warsaw have been inducted into the League’s official website.

These teams have been deemed the best of what their region has to offer and will soon face off for the title of champion. Representing Europe are Virtus.PRO and Schoolbus; Reforn and YaTo represent China; ELONG and ARETE arrive from Asia; Russia has Natus Vincere and HellRasiers; North America are RUlette and eLevate; the two wildcards are Kazna Kru and Santa Claus and Six Deers.

“This year’s finalists are the most talented and skilled ones from around the globe,” said Mo Fadl, Global eSports Director. “They’ve helped forged the scene in 2014 and raised the bar for professional eSports to a never before seen height within the Wargaming.net League. I couldn’t predict at all who would come out as the world champion, but one thing is clear, every single one of these players have definitely earned a rightful place in the League’s official website.”
