Wargaming.net introduces new tournament features
Wargaming has recently introduced some new features that will affect their tournament gameplay. Starting next season, the Attack/Defense mode that I mentioned in a previous article will be implemented. In this mode, one team will work to defend two bases while the other team will try to capture them, which removes the option of a match ending in a draw. All Wargaming.net League regions will implement this new mode, which gives players this season to master the new additions before the Grand Finals.
