Other [Issue 10] Best of Tanki: Cybersport

[SpreadLoveNotHate 374]

Introduction
For this issue, all of the reporters were asked to write something about the aspect that we like most about Tanki. The result? We all had different topics regarding this and not one reporter had the same topic as another. There's a variety of topics that have been chosen, and the reason for this is because Tanki is a game with a lot to like. This is what makes the game so successful and popular all over the world.


But, what I think stands out the most is Cybersport. It's that little column of the forum under Press, with 2 topics, Clans and Teams. But, the excitement doesn't stop there. The Tanki staff have worked hard to provide another way to group players together, instead of just communication within a 'team' in games.

The Depths of Cybersport: Clans
Cybersport, from the beginning of its creation to about a month ago, only contained Clans.

For many tankers, it was all they needed to occupy themselves daily. Clans gave a lot of the tankers a new way to group themselves, finding similar people based on culture, personalities, qualities, and other attributes. This way, you can find people that you can likely be friends with, and meet with each other in battles. What I love about this is that they can help me in those battles, and I can become stronger as a player by learning their gaming style. A clan doesn't just mean a group of strong players, it enhances the tanker's experience by adding regular events. Thanks to the Cybersport team, they have created tournaments and battles that allows clans to battle each other and win prizes per player. Even though the prizes are not the main point of the tournaments (it's the competition), they keep the players and clans interested.



The current Cybersport League has everyone excited, including me. Many strong clans have signed up, and first round is beginning next week! I cannot wait to watch the heated battles for the first round, as the clans begin their fight for the big prize of 2 million crystals, which was just doubled! Now think of what you would do with even a fraction of those two million crystals.....Be sure to stay tuned to Tanki's Cybersport livestream for a featured first round battle, chosen by the viewers.

Other than the tournament, there is currently the Dusseldorf Royal Rumble, occurring every Saturday. Playing in this is a huge adrenaline rush, since the top 4 players of 10 clans get to participate in this death match, for 15 minutes, to decide which clan gets to take the prize of 50 of each supply per member. Even if you don't participate, Tanki has DJ's that live stream the battle.

Other than the CSL and the Royal Rumble, clans have their own trainings and clan wars, with other clans. These happen every once in a while when the leader has arranged and the wars will change your clan rating. This way, you will battle stronger and different-skilled players, hopefully to increase your own skill.

The Newest Addition: Teams
Another Cybersport aspect is Teams. This is still new and Rules have just been made for team wars. What I love about the rules is that there are certain weapons and hulls that you may, and may not use. You rarely see, and be able to conduct a battle where people have certain weapons and hulls. These would be great training and you can learn to master the weapon that you choose to have your team war in. Also, teams allow you to be in another group, keeping you busy with trainings and wars, as well as being able to show off your skill to other members. The requirements for teams is quite significantly lower than the ones for clans, so many lower ranks can join a team if clan rules aren't met. I've spent quite a period of time looking for a clan, and there are many great clans that have been established. If you are lower ranked and can't join a clan yet, just be patient and rank up. It's taken me months before I could join a clan and have one accept a Warrant Officer 5, but they are just looking for strong players and you just need to prove them that you are one.


Anyways, I love the Cybersport community as a whole, and the community varies in every aspect of life. Culture, personality, and other differences can just make all of us learn to live alongside the multicultural and have fun with everyone!
