Dear Community League members,

We unfortunately have to announce that community league was rejected for prizes by Wargaming. We tried really hard to get prizes for the league as we started this process two months ago. We were actually denied once already at the beginning of August but with your help in filling out the survey, we were able to get them to take a serious second look at our proposal. The process went very well in the beginning and it did look promising at one point but sadly it did not work out in the end. We would like to thank DomoSapien, 1984BigBrother and the rest of the people at Wargaming who tried to make this happen for us.

We were denied prizes for two reasons, the first being that the league was estimated at close to $30,000 and that would be an expense for Wargaming because they would be funding the prizing, paying their employees for any possible hours they spend doing the qualifier, handing out prizing, dealing with any complaints and so on. The big problem with this is that Wargaming doesn’t think that they would break even or even profit any money off of this investment so they don’t see it as being financially viable. The second reason is that Wargaming has decided to focus more money and development into clan wars and has put the return of league on hold for now. This does not mean that League is dead but rather that they just want to focus on other areas of the game that reach more of the playerbase for now.

In regards to the future of Community League, we will be holding a meeting to gauge the interest in doing another season without prizing. This meeting will be in the Community League Discord server (https://discord.gg/BtVBn6c) on Tuesday, September 25th, at 9 PM Eastern. We may apply for prizing again in 2019 if things change internally at Wargaming. If you are looking for things to do there are lots of tournaments on the Wargaming website happening on weekends and the next clan wars season will be starting up soon. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Poi_Qt, Vyraall, or 1984BigBrother. Whether it be through Community League or in other events, we look forward to the next chance we have to engage with everyone!
