World of Tanks is a team-based war shooter that sees players controlling a range of tanks in order to destroy the enemy team.

A match is won by destroying all of the vehicles on the opposing team or capturing a base, which is available in some of the game modes. eSports matches are typically 7v7 affairs.

The company behind World of Tanks – Wargaming.net – has released other titles in the series including World of Warplanes and World of Warships, which have also built up their own competitive gaming scenes.
