It has been over half a year since the last offline World of Tanks event was hosted within the Electronic Sports League (ESL) but now it is time to load your shells, upgrade your armour and form a formidable force to compete within the next great competition.

To get your team to the offline arena it is no easy task, seeing teams battle it through six qualification cups, four within Europe and two for the home territory of the competition, Poland. The qualification cups will be played in a single elimination best of three format. The eight talented finalists from the qualification cups will then be invited to the ultimate World of Tanks arena in Katowice.

The Polish Qualifier
The Polish teams will have the chance to qualify through the Polish Qualifiers, with each qualifier offering two slots to the two teams that manage to reach the finals. A polish team must have at least six polish players, with only one foreign player.
