E3. Day 1

Despite the relatively high cost of the ticket to the exhibition and b to b orientation of the Expo, it has gathered a huge amount of people. Many of them became acquainted with the World of Tanks for the first time, but there were lots of visitors who came straight for the tanks.

Thus Wargaming.net stand was full of people all the time – it was surrounded by the experienced players of WoT and by crowds of visitors who were eager to learn the basics of the game.  Wargaming.net stand is brightly presented; its organic and interesting design draws attention of every passer-by.

The most amazing part of the stand is the glorious Hetzer - people study it with great interest and make pics with him in the background.

What is more, there are always men in WWII military uniform standing by its side who tell interesting historical facts and stories.  And any person can get the answer to any question regarding the general historical data of the tank and military history. Two other tanks - Sherman and T34 – are parked outside the main entrance of the Expo, attracting the attention of people passing by.

The first day of the exhibition was more than successful; many people received souvenirs from World of Tanks team. The key event at the WoT stand was the tournament, organized for all visitors of WoT stand - anyone could register for the tournament and fight for the unique prizes: brand-new laptop by Origin was given to taking the first place, iPad2 was awarded for taking second place and various gaming hardware was presented for the third place, such as mouse, keyboard or headphones.

Moreover, all the visitors were given a huge pack of different gifts by World of Tanks: T-shirts, pens, flasks, promotional cards and etc.
The tournament attracted a huge number of people, it lasted for four hours! At the end of the tournament all data have been processed and the players with the highest number of experience points, gained in three attempts, received their prizes, while the enormous crowd at the stand applauded them. And many of them did feel the tank power and became true World of Tanks fans!


E3. Day 2

The second day at the E3 Expo was no less interesting, as the Mass Media and players got extremely interested in World of Tanks project.

The second day also gave visitors the chance to fight for the prizes of the tournament.
http://blog.worldoftanks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/20-1024x682.jpg
And the stand was full of people willing to prove that they are best players and are the only ones to get the prizes!
http://blog.worldoftanks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/7-1024x682.jpg
More than that, many of them came earlier to practice before the tournament. Obviously the tournament was same successful as during the first day at E3, with lots of cheerful participants, wonderful prizes and surely, loads of pure happy emotions!
http://blog.worldoftanks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/1-1024x682.jpg
This day the development team held a series of master classes where they explained the basics of the game: they showed how to operate as a team member and how to coordinate allies. Each type of the in-game tanks was theoretically and specifically described by Wargaming staff members. The new-born players followed the actions of developers with great interest, and that led to the great as well as improved results!

The maximum result of the first day was 1567 points of un-doubled experience, whereas the second day showed up 2050 un-doubled experience points, guaranteeing its winning owner a gift laptop!
Wargaming.net and its epic World of Tanks continue their notable march in Los Angeles, with new fans joining its army.

In this regard, we ask all our players who have worked with us for a long time since the Closed Beta Test and till release of World of Tanks, to be patient and tolerant to E3 players, as they only make their first steps in the battlefields of World of Tanks but do their best to play well. And in the nearest future they will cover your back and fight shoulder to shoulder with you!

Wargaming.net will continue telling the story of World of Tanks at E3 Expo, providing more details of interesting events and adventures that happen at the world-wide known exhibition!

they probably just rented it from fort knox.... Too many in Europe to warrant the shipping costs.

...What the Hell are you complaining about? You're upset that there were free tee-shirts at an E3 expo because you haven't gotten a Panther II yet?

I hope the men in WWII military uniform standing by the Hetzer, who tell interesting historical facts are sharing the most relevant fact about the Hetzer:

HETZERS GONNA HETZ
