[h2]Key Rules of the Season[/h2] Starts: Wed. 20 May 11:00 CEST (UTC+2) Ends: Tue. 16 Jun. 10:30 CEST (UTC+2)

Format: 7 vs. 7 playing Tier VII ships

Maps: Archipelago, Ring, Big Race, New Dawn, Trident, Neighbors, and Riposte

• Players earn the Stars needed to climb the ranking ladder by winning battles. For most ranks, a defeat means a lost Star. However, if you finish first on your team by XP earned, you get to keep your hard-earned Star.
  
• Those who are new to Ranked Battles will start the Season from Rank 18. Those who participated in the previous Season will receive bonus Stars after the first battle of the current Season: one for each rank attained last Season.

[h2]Rewards[/h2]
The available rewards, as well as the formats of Ranked Battles, differ from season to season. For the current Season, victories can bring you up to 4,700 Steel; 2,750 doubloons; one Ranked Token; and many other rewards.

League flags reduce the cost of servicing your ships by 10% and 20% until the end of the Season. Any flags awarded for entering the Leagues will be removed from player accounts once the Season ends.

Captains!

What a special week it is for us at Wargaming!

The World of Warships team has the phenomenal opportunity to host retired Navy Captain, Bob Batterson, for our weekly NA Twitch stream this Friday at 21:00 UTC. Captain Batterson is a Pearl Harbor survivor who flew F6F Hellcats during WWII.

He served his country for 26 years, and he continues his service as a volunteer on board the USS Lexington museum since it opened in 1992! 
Stream starts: Fri. 15 May 23:00 CEST (UTC+2)



Captain Batterson recently celebrated his 99th Birthday May 8th, and we all wish him a very happy belated birthday and thank him for his years of service.

We understand many of you may want to ask Captain Batterson a question, however, with a limited amount of time during the event we may not have the chance to share everyone's question.

If you would like to share your question with us ahead of time, please feel free to respond to the forum thread below.

See you on stream!

[h3]Detective Kléberot in Action! Murder in the Western Sea[/h3]
"Battleship X Montana will no longer ride the waves—her guns have fallen silent forever," was what Detective Kléberot thought after arriving at the crime scene and finding the battleship’s hull full of holes. Poor X Midway was off to one side, suffering in a state of shock from the ghastly sight.

“This accident is more than strange—it’s inconceivable… Absurd… Unmotivated... or perhaps it only seems so?” Detective Kléberot continued his line of thought: “either no one, or anyone, could be suspected of the crime...Or perhaps someone else at least had something to do with it?”
