North Sydney Sentinels take the crown at World of Tanks ANZ Premier League Season Four Finals

July 6th, 2022 — The North Sydney Sentinels are Australasia’s crowning World of Tanks champions after defeating the South Sydney Skorpions at the World of Tanks ANZ Premier League Season Four Finals at Fortress in Melbourne.

Competing in front of a crowd of over 100 people and with 4,000 viewers tuning in live via the online broadcast in two languages, the North Sydney Sentinels dominated the finals which culminated in a 4-1 indisputable win.

The Season Four winners were awarded with $10,000 in prize money and premium swag from Noble Chairs, PC Case Gear, and HyperX. Second place winners, the South Sydney Skorpions, received $5,000 in prize money and HyperX gear.

Kevin Zhu, World of Tanks ANZ Community Evangelist, says the two Sydney teams have had fierce head-to-head clashes before, and it was no surprise that the series final was going to be a nail-biter.

“The Sentinels pulled out a crucial 2-0 lead at the beginning of the match, but the tenacity from the Skorpions meant the Sentinels had to fight for every single tank and victory. Ultimately, the Sentinels just proved how much of a powerhouse they were, with a 4-1 victory over the Skorpions, and a third trophy in the four seasons of ANZPL!”

“To add to the celebrations, I’m proud to confirm that ticket sales from the finals have contributed towards a total fundraising donation of $8,854.99 for GameOnCancer. Thanks to everyone who has donated to this worthy cause,” said Kevin.

The World of Tanks ANZ Premier League (ANZPL) is a 5v5 competitive World of Tanks mode, featuring state-based teams, a double round robin group stage, a grassroots league in the ANZBL, and an offline LAN final to determine the best team across Australia and New Zealand.

Season Five will commence on August 26th  2022, with the finals culminating on November 26th  2022.
