War Thunder players will have two weekends of live esports to watch, and Challenger League Major II will also hand out Twitch Drops for viewers who tune in.
The action will stream on the English War Thunder Esports channel and the Russian channel on July 4-5 and July 11-12, starting at 14:40 GMT each day. Matches will also air on War Thunder Esports on YouTube, which will carry highlights and replays after the live broadcast.
To collect the rewards, viewers will need to log into Twitch, link a Gaijin account, and approve the connection through the official drops page. Each weekend will award a 50% RP Booster, a 50% SL Booster, and 1 day of Premium.
The tournament uses the 4v4 Air format, with more than 500,000 Golden Eagles and other rewards up for grabs. That pressure is being spread across a field that mixes debut teams, returning finalists, and the defending champion. For a bit of extra context, the earlier Major II result put Invictus in front of the season heading into this stage.
The qualified teams
- Team Warning brings an international lineup making its Challenger League debut.
- Team NEXUS returns after finishing second at Major I.
- Team COVERT arrives with a roster built around experienced tournament players.
- Team SkyHammer earned its spot after steady roster growth and long-term work.
- Team TreaX is a fully French roster that qualified after months of work.
- Team EnyoProxy comes in as the defending Challenger League Major champion.
- Team LegitBongo is a community-built team making its Challenger League debut.
- Team OlySt is back after a third-place finish at Major I.
Two weekends, one title, and a stack of Twitch rewards make this an easy one to keep on in the background. Tell us what you think in the comments, and follow us on X, Bluesky, YouTube, Instagram.
