Yesterday, during the first set of YouTube Cup tournament matches, we unexpectedly faced various, specific technical related issues. For example, the SprotenFuh team was unable to block the mode they did not want to participate in. Additionally, due to connection issues, one of the members of “Irrelevant” was not able to join.
We have also found that specific match settings were incorrect. All of these issues caused displeasure for both the participants and viewers of the tournament.
After corresponding with the teams, we have jointly decided to postpone the tournament until all potential technical issues are found. We would like to thank all of the YouTube Cup participants for their support, and wish them the best of luck in the future contests!
We would also like to apologize to both the participants and the viewers. We hope to see you again in a few weeks in the renewed YouTube Cup!

Unfortunately, there were multiple technical issues during first round of the YT cup matches. The whole goal of the YT cup was for it to be an interesting and entertaining event for the community, and it is neither fun nor productive to wrestle with technical issues instead of playing the tournament. It was much fun when it was working, and so all teams agreed that we will iron out details and re-run the whole thing in 2-8 weeks, and this time - at weekend. We sincerely apologize to everyone who was awaiting the final tomorrow and we hope to see you all on next take on the YT cup.
It's a streamer tournament, why not offer them a reward related to their work ? Or even better, if we talking about popularity, a gift to a health, or veteran association ? We are talking about people in need of fame. You may think bigger than give more in game money and tanks to billionaires. Anyway reward stream audience is a nice bait.
The ULQ is a big problem in WT, i still don’t know WHY this cheating option is still available, seing through walls and bushes is cheating! SonGaijin don’t like cheaters? gaijin do erase cheaters accounts? So why having that natural cheat in game???
So I get to watch people play this game for free!!!!??? I get to watch these people who are already paid to play the game get MORE MONEY????? WOW INCREDIBLE!!
Such well organized event, even gift code isn't working...
i saw a code in the stream but when i typed it in and look what i got it said : 'You already have this item on your account, or you can not activate this key according to the terms of the offer.' but i didnt got any thing or did it before
The first stream about this cup was a whole dissapointment! I watched the 2nd and 3rd match, to this this time the shown code "YTCUP2019DAY1" was already expired! Why do you even show it on stream? Obviously the viewers gonna see this like a kind of scam?
