Talented authors from Live.WT have teamed up with the captains of eSport teams to create 22 camouflages for a variety of vehicles. You can get the trophy by playing War Thunder. In the future you will have a better chance of getting a trophy when you participate in eSport events and tournaments in War Thunder. PlayStation and Xbox players can purchase the trophy in the Item Shop and open it with Golden Eagles. Read more on our wiki.
To open it, you’ll need to purchase a key on the Market (income is shared with the authors of the camouflages). You can either activate the coupon on your account, or trade it on the Market to get Gaijin Coins (GJN). A trophy can be sold as well!
We plan to add new eSport camouflages to the “eSport” trophy.
To unlock the trophy, you will need an “eSport” key that can be purchased on the Market for GJN.

MRCLS
Russo-Ukrainian Miracles were formed in 2020, but its current lineup was finalized only last year — and it instantly proved to be one of the top contenders of War Thunder TSS, winning OlySt CUP II, WT10 5v5, and CRNG CUP. Most participants of Thunder CUP 2023 consider it to be the most likely winner.

EnyoProxy
This Russo-Ukrainian team of “trolls and weirdos”, as they describe themselves, has long been one of the strongest. It achieved numerous victories in the biggest tournaments of 2020-21. Will it return to glory in 2023?

PinguHard
PinguHard was formed in late 2020 when French eSpW and English-speaking AlwaysHard merged, and was further strengthened in 2022 by Czech & Slovak veterans from LetsGo. PinguHard aims to become one of the best TSS teams, and so far it has succeeded — in smaller tournaments. Will it manage to become one of the big player teams?

Abstract
A newly formed team of experienced players from Japan, USA, Western and Eastern Europe hasn’t proved itself in tournaments yet. Will it become a dark horse of Thunder CUP 2023?

LEET
An Eastern European team with a long history of victories (including Victory Cup 2021) is currently experiencing “turbulent times”, according to its leader VolkodaV. How will it affect the chances of the “Elite”?

Uniting players from REDA and OlySt, RAWR became a truly global team: its members hail from Europe, Australia, and Latin America. It showed good results in recent tournaments and intends to earn awards in Thunder CUP 2023 as well.

NASTY
This Eastern European team was created way back in 2017 and was quite successful at first, but the players lost motivation over time. Now NASTY is back with a new lineup, intending to once again earn itself a place among winners. Before it mostly consisted of tankers, but now it has recruited a number of universal players to its ranks.

CyberSnail <3
I really love the camos, big love to the creators cuz they did an amazing job! Also gonna be the first time I actually gonna buy crates just for camos
when do the camo boxes come out?
Is the new Skin for the russian or german mig29?
and if it is for the russian mig 29, why again a skin for this plane and not for the german one.
Hardcor_GER, AFAIK teams participating in tournament selected the vehicles.
is the skin free or we need to spend money?
You can get a Esports Box by playing WarThunder, but you need to buy a Key on the Market. I also recommend to have a look on the Esport Streams, there may be some surprises :D
Are we going to be able to purchase the boxes from the market like normally or can i only get them in match? Same thing for the skins, can i buy (from the people who sell them) or only get from box.
if i watch all 4 streams together does my chances of winning increase?
Chances for what? Camos? They will be given away on chat.
