Fantasy eSports is quickly becoming a worldwide phenomenon, and while Fantasy League for World of Tanks has continued to grow and captivate the North American audience for a few seasons, the 2016 Grand Finals mark the first time the game will be opened up to players and teams across the globe.
That's right -- Wargaming's Fantasy League is adding top-shelf teams like Na'Vi and HellRaisers to the mix, enabling fans to pick their favorite lineups and compete for prizes as the best World of Tanks players battle for their shot at the championship trophy.
For those who haven't played Fantasy WGL before, here's a quick breakdown:
- Head to the Fantasy WGL site and sign in using your Wargaming ID
- Pick a team of seven players who you think will score the most points in categories ranging from damage to kills. There's a limit of only two players per individual team, so don't think you can simply stack your team full of Na'Vi superstars for the win
- The fantasy game will be played on both Friday and Saturday, so after Friday's matches, be sure to log back in and make lineup adjustments depending on how your team is playing
- While every team plays an equal amount of matches Friday, Saturday's games will vary due to the single-elimination playoffs, so pick a team of players who you think will go the distance
Prizes include Gold and vehicles, so study up on the best players from around the world and pick your team wisely. Rosters will be made available beginning Friday, April 1, with teams locked when the battles begin 3:00 PT (Grand Finals local time of 12:00 CES).
Rank | Prize |
---|---|
1-25 | Choice of Type 59, AMX 13 57GF, or leKpz M41 90mm GF |
26-50 | Choice of AMX 13 57GF or leKpz M41 90mm GF |
51-100 | Choice of any Tier 6 or below tech tree premium tank |
Top 10% | 7 Days Premium, 500 Gold |
Top 20% | 3 Days Premium, 250 Gold |
Top 30% | 250 Gold |
While all may participate, only NA accounts may win prizes |

SO quick Question, does "Choice of any Tier 6 or below tech tree premium tank" mean that it is restricted to the tech tree (I.E, premimum tanks that are available via the tech tree), or it allows for limited time tanks (For example the M4A3E8FURY or Cromwell B)
Vyraall at Apr 3, 2016 16:28 said:but it states ANY TIER 6 OR any tanks below tier 6 that is on the tech. so u could get a Cromwell B just not a panzer 2J :P

It would be interesting to see how many new players join in this season's Fantasy league, after all the promotion! :)
GL Everybody!
Jaspo at Apr 9, 2016 12:27 said:I dont think gold league matters for this. You can see if you have won anything by checking my prize drop down under your name in top rigth
I placed 101st, but I see that DarkGodZim is ahead of me but is in the league, so he's ineligible for prizes (right?), so that does put me in 100th, right?
Thanks for the prize!
FightinTexasAggie2001 at Apr 9, 2016 15:18 said:Hellraisers had it won but got stuck on a rock so Navi just ran the time out.. I feel bad for them
N/M my last statement. I see that Navi was in the winners bracket and Wombats won in the "3rd place" bracket, cool. Well, congrats to Navi for winning 7 games... and Hell for winning 6, very close last battle!!!

"Top 10% 7 Days Premium, 500 Gold"
But "My Prizes" says I won 7 days and 1000 gold. Something is gibbled. Am I an anomaly, or do other 10%ers show the same? I'm not greedy, just want to point out the discrepancy.

I chose the Type 64, even though i already have it just to see if I would get 3500 gold. I don't see why I wouldn't, but it still shows as Tank Unpaid.
HUD_33 at Apr 9, 2016 17:09 said:I asked about that in another discussion, before I even looked at "My Prizes" (which I had forgotten about), and Hypnotik said I would get top 10%, not cumulative 10/20/30% prizing. I'm sure it will be clarified in the next few days, but I've asked in a couple of different locations just to make certain that they know, in case I am not the only one affected.

"How do I claim my Prize?"
Click your name up top and then go to "My Prizes" to pick your prize tank (if you won one). The deadline is 5 days after the prizes appear on this page, after which you'll get the default tank for that group.
"Will I get gold if I already have the tank?"
Yes.
"When does the next season begin?"
The next Fantasy WGL season will go live about 7-10 days before the next WGL season begins.
"The prize table says X, but it shows I get Y... what's up with this?"
Looks like a mistake on my end when I wrote the automated prize script. The errors are in your favor (more gold), and it'd be rude of me to not honor my mistake. Enjoy the extra gold!
"When do I get my prize?"
Gold and premium will go out today. Tanks will go out as soon as the deadline passes or everyone in the payout group has chosen their prize (although the 2nd one is unlikely since it's a group of 100).
I'm glad you all enjoyed yourselves, congrats to all the winners, and I look forward to having you guys all play along next season of WGLNA!
Hypnotik at Apr 12, 2016 08:14 said:Thanks for the clarification! For those at 1 tanks, do we also qualify to get gold and premium time, since we are also in the top ten percent?

jmaiville at Apr 13, 2016 14:01 said:I submitted a ticket about this. The paid refers to non-tank rewards. The tanks will be paid out when everyone selects the tank they want or five days after the event. So, you'll have your new tank soon.
