It’s been the second time that Russian e-Sports Federation presents the Ural Steel international tournament in the World of Tanks videogame. 2011 saw the introduction of the Ural Steel tournament, a mighty eSport affair in which the best teams in the world, selected at online preliminaries, competed in Moscow for worship and good prizes.
In 2011 the contest gathered more than 40000 players from 30 countries. This year, Ural Steel is bigger and better. Sixteen teams will be going to Moscow: four from North America, four from Europe, four from ex-USSR countries and this time four teams are from Asia.
The final battles will be held in Moscow 15-16 of September. Of course the question on each tankman’s mind will surely be `Which teams have been chosen?’ Well, that’s still to be decided, and the method of selection is through huge tournaments on each WoT server! Registration is already opened and regulations are available at all the servers.
Competitions are organized by the Wargaming company, Russian e-Sports Federation under the sponsorship of UralVagonZavod, one of the World biggest battle tanks producer.
