00:00:16,660 --> 00:00:18,450
Hello tankers!

2
00:00:18,450 --> 00:00:27,470
May Holidays have come and gone, and the V-LOG
is back re-energized after its week-long break!

3
00:00:27,470 --> 00:00:29,630
In today’s episode…

4
00:00:29,630 --> 00:00:31,550
Useful advice…

5
00:00:31,550 --> 00:00:33,990
Return of Star Series…

6
00:00:33,990 --> 00:00:36,930
And an eSports story!

7
00:00:36,930 --> 00:00:37,860
Let’s go!

8
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:46,540
The “Players vs Helpers” tournament has
started and is currently in full swing!

9
00:00:46,550 --> 00:00:52,790
Tomorrow, the two strongest teams from the
helpers side will face each other.

10
00:00:52,790 --> 00:00:59,650
Make sure you watch this battle live on our
Twitch-channel at 5 pm UTC

11
00:00:59,650 --> 00:01:02,130
on the 16th of May.

12
00:01:02,130 --> 00:01:03,580
The next step?

13
00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:09,660
Collecting your applications for the tournament,
having a draw, and then getting DMs to pick

14
00:01:09,660 --> 00:01:11,880
the best of the luckiest.

15
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:19,880
Once all that is done, the 3 teams from the
players side will face the winners of tomorrow’s battle.

16
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,539
The tournament calendar is already on the
Tanki homepage.

17
00:01:24,539 --> 00:01:26,079
The link is below.

18
00:01:28,860 --> 00:01:31,080
Pro Advice is back!

19
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:39,080
This week s guest is someone you already know, Holy
Hero Alex from Epic Guards.

20
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:41,080
Hey everyone!

21
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,200
This is Holy Hero Alex and today’s lesson
is about flags.

22
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,360
Let’s start with the best hull for capturing
flags.

23
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,830
In my opinion, that would be Wasp.

24
00:01:50,830 --> 00:01:54,250
It’s fast and nimble… but also hard to
handle.

25
00:01:54,250 --> 00:01:57,929
To use it effectively you need to train a
lot.

26
00:01:57,929 --> 00:02:02,569
As for turrets for protecting your team’s
flag, I think the best choices would be Twins

27
00:02:02,569 --> 00:02:04,029
and Firebird.

28
00:02:04,029 --> 00:02:07,040
Twins will prevent the enemy from stealing
the flag easily,

29
00:02:07,050 --> 00:02:11,069
while Firebird will set the opponent on fire
and heat him up,

30
00:02:11,069 --> 00:02:14,500
so he’ll likely explode before getting away.

31
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:19,709
Now, one of the most important skills in CTF
— passing the flag.

32
00:02:19,709 --> 00:02:22,589
Here are 3 tricks you will find useful in
everyday battles.

33
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,480
Passing a flag above your head.

34
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:30,470
If you are carrying a flag next to high ground,
your teammate can use it to jump onto your

35
00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:33,040
tank and take the flag from you.

36
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,290
Just make sure you press F at the right moment.

37
00:02:36,290 --> 00:02:39,960
This trick can often catch the enemy by surprise.

38
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:45,030
If you’re stealing the enemy flag and are
about to be destroyed, drop the flag and quickly

39
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:46,310
drive backwards.

40
00:02:46,310 --> 00:02:51,670
Your teammate will take it, and as you blow
up, your destroyed tank will block the enemy

41
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:53,370
for a few precious seconds.

42
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,400
And finally, a technique widely used in Star
Series.

43
00:02:58,410 --> 00:03:02,030
If your teammate is driving with a flag, just
follow him really close.

44
00:03:02,030 --> 00:03:08,170
When he’s destroyed, you can quickly pick
up the flag and continue moving to your base.

45
00:03:08,170 --> 00:03:13,120
One last thing: all these tricks will be a
lot simpler and more effective if you are

46
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,040
playing with someone whom you are voicing
with.

47
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,800
That’s all, this was Holy Hero Alex.

48
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,360
Capture flags and be smart about it.

49
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:22,980
Good luck!

50
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,780
It’s been a while since we last shared a
funny story with you.

51
00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:34,890
This one is from Russian eSports commentators.

52
00:03:36,180 --> 00:03:38,560
Here’s an amusing story.

53
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:44,620
Before every season we have a draw to determine
the maps for each its stages.

54
00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:51,980
This draw always needs to be recorded in one
take, to show everyone it’s 100% fair.

55
00:03:51,980 --> 00:03:57,880
During the 2nd season we were supposed to
draw 3 pieces of paper with map names from

56
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,840
a vase, for each of the 15 stages, and it
was a mess!

57
00:04:03,530 --> 00:04:10,200
On the 5th stage, Igor was trying so hard
to mix papers, that the vase slipped out of

58
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,590
his hands, hit the floor and smashed into
pieces.

59
00:04:14,590 --> 00:04:20,599
We had to go and get a new vase, and then
record the draw from scratch.

60
00:04:20,599 --> 00:04:25,460
The second take was successful, except for
one thing.

61
00:04:25,460 --> 00:04:30,280
We had drawn the maps for 14 stages and had
one more to go.

62
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:36,090
Igor decided to act cool and throw 2 rolls
of papers into the vase together.

63
00:04:36,090 --> 00:04:38,720
But only one managed to get in.

64
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,160
The other one ended up on the floor.

65
00:04:42,180 --> 00:04:46,480
Everyone noticed, but we decided to go on
anyway.

66
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,280
3 maps were picked, the draw was over.

67
00:04:51,020 --> 00:04:57,240
So, one of the maps could never have been
chosen, as it was on the floor.

68
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,240
Who knows how the season would have turned
out had we picked it.

69
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,340
Welcome to eSports news!

70
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:12,620
Star Series Season 4 in Tanki has just started.

71
00:05:12,620 --> 00:05:18,810
The 12 strongest teams in the game started
fighting for unique paints, millions of crystals,

72
00:05:18,810 --> 00:05:21,130
and 29 thousand USD!

73
00:05:21,130 --> 00:05:26,240
This time, we have quite a number of new faces
in the top league.

74
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,720
4 Pro Series clans will be fighting for the
championship title.

75
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:38,860
These are the Super finalists of Pro Series
— LTU and Alert, as well as the teams that

76
00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:43,520
won the qualifying matches —Victory and
Number One!

77
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,420
The new season brings new hopes.

78
00:05:46,420 --> 00:05:53,100
And as the elite teams of Tanki become more
skilled, we are sure this season will be a

79
00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:54,150
special one.

80
00:05:55,280 --> 00:06:01,780

of the V-LOG, so picking the best video was

84
00:06:29,740 --> 00:06:31,540
twice as hard.

85
00:06:31,540 --> 00:06:34,680
But we managed, and here it is!

86
00:07:01,340 --> 00:07:03,980
