Until recently, no one even called the WoT game a cybersports discipline, which is just a simulator of tank battles. However, over the past few years, its popularity in the professional arena has grown to such an extent that the bookmakers decided to accept bets on online battles of tankers and they did not fail. There are many opportunities for betting in the game attracting fans of eSports.
The developer of World of Tanks is Wargaming Studio which has been releasing a version of the World of Tanks Blitz since 2014 and organizing the annual Wargaming.net League (WGL) World Championship with a prize pool of $ 300,000 in the final. The meaning of the game is quite simple: each participant in a certain team fights on a tank with another tank crew on a random map. The main thing in the game is to capture the opponents’ base or destroy them all.
