I'm Back, Tier 10 Clan Wars Talk

So I have been busy with finals and AP Testing for school here are my thoughts on the current iteration of the Global Map:
(I also joined OTTER in the past week or so...)

Wargaming (NA at least) has given in to player demands and created a "sandbox" area for the Tier 10 Global Map. This allows lesser clans to compete at Tier 10 but stay away from the pros by having lesser gold provinces. In theory this is a great idea to allow clans with non pro players to compete for Tier 10 Clan Wars but not have to fight MO/MAHOU/OTTER every day. However, this zone is currently linked to the regular zone with the Victory Points (VP) system which determines the winner of a season. Winners at this level are rewarded with unique camos for tanks that is different from the campaign camo. This is currently allowing clans such as S-A-R (who was a mostly Tier 8 clan last season) to dominate this portion of the map and farm VPs off of other clans while not really competing against the real dominant forces of Tier 10.

These are just my thoughts on the new map- I will do a "Best tanks at Tier 8 post if you guys want"
