Awesome prizes!, Just wish I had friends...
I won't get the prize I suck at the game I only wish they bring some of the market / event vehicles for GE that would be lost of people buying it I guess I have to keep on dreaming.
Naval championships when?
3nd place is the best!
haha, missed that, we will fix in few, thanks!
Isn't it about time majors actually got some real rewards? Would probably be more interesting for spectators too when the teams are actually competing for something.
3nd
