Williams said after the event: “I really wanted it. Now I can say that I have won the first-ever tank pull event in the world,” said Eddie.
Alexander de Giorgio, World of Tanks’ Regional Publishing Director, said: “Today we witnessed the true power of the tank with the world’s strongest men put to the test. We hope that World of Tanks PC fans are getting excited about the upcoming launch of 1.0 this month.”
