This weekend in World of Warships offers a packed schedule for every type of player. The esports action heats up with the King of the Sea finals, the Temporal Rift continues to offer unique rewards, and a new fast-paced Brawl session goes live with some welcome rules.
King of the Sea XVIII International Finals
The premier competitive tournament, King of the Sea, has reached its International phase. This is where the best teams from across the globe clash for the title. For players watching from home, this is a prime opportunity to see top-tier strategy in action. More importantly, you can earn rewards just for tuning in on Twitch. By watching the official streams, you'll get Twitch Drops containing King Tokens, which can be exchanged for valuable in-game items.
Grind for Nationless Commanders in Temporal Rift
The Temporal Rift temporary battle type, introduced in Update 14.10, is still active. If you haven't jumped in yet, the main draw is the chance to earn nationless Commanders. This is a significant reward that changes how you manage your officer roster.
What makes nationless Commanders so valuable?
A nationless Commander can be assigned to ships from different nations without needing to be retrained, saving you a massive amount of Commander XP or Doubloons. This flexibility allows you to move a high-skill-point captain between your favorite premium or tech-tree ships, regardless of their flag. It's a huge quality-of-life and resource-saving reward that is well worth the grind.
New Tier VIII Brawls Are Here
For those looking for direct action, a new session of Brawls is available this weekend. This session features a tight, 3v3 format using Tier VIII ships. The ruleset is designed for quick, aggressive engagements, and the team composition limits will force some interesting tactical choices. The key rules are:
- Format: 3v3
- Tier: VIII
- Restrictions: No more than two Battleships, two Cruisers, or two Destroyers per team.
- Prohibited Classes: Aircraft Carriers and Submarines are not allowed.
That's right—no CVs or subs. This brawl session is all about surface-to-surface gunnery and torpedo play, a format many players will be eager to jump into. Whether you're watching the pros, grinding for a unique Commander, or brawling in close-quarters combat, there's plenty to do this weekend.
