Imagine a situation in war where you are told "We need to lose!". It makes perfect Wgaming sense.

Just an idea but maybe ...Winning would have put them into triples. They didn't have enough to fill 3 teams and couldn't afford the tech?

It is clear to me that the K-A-P clan team is a team of gentlemen that value sportsmanship and valour. I think they've said something like "Sir, it would be a most shameful victory if we tower over these brave 10 fighters" and the commander said "You are right, it would be a total lack of sportsmanship and fair play. The only honorable thing to do is to give up"

It's likely that if they won, they would have had 2 or 3 matches scheduled at the same time and didn't have enough players to field them. This is a common occurrence in clan wars.

Where’s Yuri when you need him ?

Its about fame points and continuations. If you cannot load a team with 12 players, you are hit with a technical loss. Your clan then loses fame points and could be hit with a penalties. To avoid have too many matches scheduled that a clan cannot support, they will throw a match to avoid having a continuation match scheduled at the same time as a previously scheduled match. Clans that can field more than one team don't have this problem, but some clans can't support two teams. It's part of the WOT system for clan wars; you are penalized if you have a shorthanded clan.

When Convoy came out, McD’s had a tray insert with CB radio explanations. Sure wish I kept mine. Great 70s movie.

Like watching a great movie that just fizzles out at end, what an anti climatic way to win.

That's Mad. Thanks Claus

Yeah, I heard this happens often. I saw a replay once, where both teams tried to loose on himmelsdorf. It was really fun to watch. They all went for the hill, tracking and blocking the enemy team, trying to throw themselves off the cliff.

My clan does this when we "have to lose" - we get our 5 kills and then stop because no need or no benefit to win the battle. Happens pretty often.

😂 lol claus... i sent you a better example once. A beattle where my clan needed a loss, and the enemy aswell... after winning the rush they just left the battle. In my maus i pushed an 277 into my own cap and gifted them a victory ❤

Claus counted 10 friendly tanks a number of times. He’s excellent at mathematics but not so great at counting!😅

My suspicion…… they fought to a certain point to earn materials, scrap etc. But they either want to tank their ELO with a loss. Or they cannot afford to win as they wont have enough players for the next round and dont want to take a TECH for not fielding a team for one or more battles.

In clam wars, stuff like this is common. Clans will play the 'meta' game (wheel and deal with one another) and decide what parts of the map will go to whom. Sometimes this means that you need to lose some battles. Which at times, confuses a clan to no end when this happens as they aren't in on the deals being made. It's been like this since the beginning. Nothing strange here. The 'meta game' is part of clan wars.

"SOMETIMES pub games are shit shows...?"

The enemy team might have had another battle and would have had a double battle, and if they don't field a team, they get a penalty. That penalty is to lose a ticket for a drop. In other words, They start off with 4 places on the global map they can try to win. If the tech a battle, which is why they would throw a game, they would lose a drop, putting them to only 3 per day, and it takes 7 days to recover. So to lose 1 battle to save the penalty, would allow them to drop 5 extra times per week, making a total of 20 drops, or "battles". With the penalty it would only be 15, for the week. 3 penalties and you don't get to play clan wars for a week.

In fact even if the channel is like a box of chocolates... you damn well know what you gonna get: FUCKING CHOCOLATE! ;)

There are a lot of secondary strategies going on in Global Battles. You can screw over another clan by losing to them. These guys got as much damage as they could and as many kills as they could before falling back. You need those things for fame points and materials. Just delaying the outcome can cause the other team to miss a battle and take a penalty. I prefer playing the battles straight up. But I know of many clans that are looking to screw-over other teams any chance they get.

I have played alot of Clan Wars and it is mostly scammed and planned by the big clans. I was in the old event where the M60 was the prize and every match we did was preplanned, the event winners were planned ahead of time. All the big clans knew who would win each stage of the event.

its common thing in clan wars cos if they won the battle next they will have 2 battles at the same time... one to play but for not showing on the other one the clan get penalty so they just lost and end the possability for having 2 battles at the same time... ( if the map has water they just go and drown them self but here no wather :) )

there has been games when both team all bring light tanks and jump off cliffs. if you could be short handed in the next battles it is better to lose and not for fit

Mama just called them for the "soupe" !!!

If its for clan wars with reward tanks, you need 5 kills to get your points. Looks like they had another battle and didn't want a second or third battle at that time frame. They drove back to base so their enemy couldn't push their tanks on cap. It happens. Its clan wars .

The next tank-owning clan event is coming and everyone wants to spoil their battle status in order to beat smaller clans at the beginning.

They have another battle after..

That was so weird...😮

More clan wars videos please.

They had another clan war that their commander called more important to fight so they left that battle

If they are a high ranked clan they are trying to lower their rank to prep for next cw season so they can seal club at beginning of the next season. MM will give them easier matches. Or they had another more important match to get to and not enough players. They stacked tanks to hopefully reduce damage other team would get.

12. There were 12 players v 15. Not 10. I love Claus's mathetizing!

Nice

No Claus this could be a game that has aresdy been pre planned, I did a lot of clan wars and deals where always made between clans. They defending team has to turn up or automataclly lose the land, so in some games teams will go in cause damage so it does not show to wargaming but not kill all the of the tanks and let the timer go down or just move and not defend or cover. This is what this game looks like they could have easy killed them all but the move away. its easy mid game to work out how many tanks the other team has on small maps. so this is not a real battle

CW McCall... "Convoy"

At the end of CWs season some big clans (and many others) uses to lose games to get down the ELO, this way they will face easier first matches at next CW campaing. This is a real issue Claus. I guess the only one way to avoid this is to reset ELO rating at the beginning of every CW and to increase winning / losing points on wins and loses. Believe me, this is a real problem in CWs.

Wow... I thought I could say, "I've seen it all now", but the more you reveal, the more I wonder how intense collusion is in this game.

Happens all the time.

they are either trying to avoid being double or triple-booked if they win this battle and if they don't have enough players to fill those teams they will have a penalty, or they are trying to drop their ELO since this is gold clan wars and they want to be able to fight the weaker teams and get more points in the next CW season, they need to make it look though as if they are not throwing the game since that will get them banned

12 vs 15 not 15 vs 10 and the clan with 15 tanks had to go play next battle but not have the players to fight two battles same time after this one. so they loose on purpuse and they don't get a penalty for not showing in the battle after this one. Happens when you win to much.

Are the two clans involved in an alliance and are strategically reshaping their borders by trading map positions on the world map? For the players who have never played in clan wars, think of it as late game Civilization VI with tanks only. Having alliances and making pacts with allied clans describing how to attack the map and how to surround and isolate enemy clans is the fun part of being a clan commander or combat officer - getting together outside the actual game and planning a war campaign so the alliance can control as large an area as possible of the world map. Your clan earns gold every day that it controls a map area. Maps area in the interior, which are hard to reach let alone win, give the highest daily gold rewards. Gold farming is the name of the game. Reshaping the alliance map and positioning against specific enemy clans could be the strategy here. However, if that is the case is was very costly. In clan wars when you lose a tank during battle it will be unavailable for a number of real world hours, up to a week, before it is unlocked again for clan wars. Or, maybe the allied clan threw the match because GIMPS had a simultaneous battle scheduled, didn't have at least 24 players and threw a full team into the other match. If the won both the schedule would likely firm up so they could put a full team out for the other two battles that night.

They had another battle and they didn't want to take a ban not showing at the battle. And Claus they are 12 not 10. The minimum number pf participants in a clan war batlle is 12.

If they wanted to lose they could've just stayed where they were, in the brawl, and just rise their pp up like a surrender. That's not what happened.

Lol Klaus, can't even count to 12? :D I love your videos but here I had a good laugh, thx! :D

This was an example of: "We need to lose this game, but make sure to kill 6 of them"

Clan war chipping works as intended with clans purposely losing several games per night

I keep getting screen not hit.😢 what's that mean 🤔 with my grill 15

? sometimes pup games are shit shows REALLY sometimes air is what we breath !

How weird, but not unusual of Claus's channel.....

You're showing you age Claus. The intro was Convoy by CW Mcall from 1976.😊

If they have an already scheduled battle will risq a penalty

Looks like malfunctioning bots...

GRC infects clanwars?

Happy algorithm comment

I shall explain this. It is called a 'Russian Win'. Where you stop playing and lose to get the win. Like that Russian Math. Cluas re-title this Russian Win

I think the team who was in low count buy a territory))) for real transfer I heard about that kind of deals!!!

Clans do this all the time they intentionally lose for reasons

Don't want a red card

"unkilled"....LOL

Man I was so proud because I thought they did a Zhang Liang on the enemy. Only to be disappointed since the enemies are just being weird

🙃

Option 3: Gaym was agreed/rigged!!!

There is pay to win now it's pay to lose yay😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Boosters?

LMAO

They can't win without taking a penalty because they can't field enough teams

Standard equipment, standard shells, these kind of tanks? What kind of clan wars is that? Do they not know that you have to only feature Chiefs and 279e firing only gold?

maybe ran out of ammo

They are throwing the match to lower their clans ELO for the next clan wars for a tank.

Awrite Claus!

Must be an old game as in clan wars now you cannot enter battle with less than 12 tanks. Also if you schedule to many battles and a new one is about to pop you need to lose the current battle or take a penalty if you do not have enough people to fill two battles. These guys left the battle to go to another and not take a penalty.

LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER FIXED GAME - IT WAS GOOD GOING AT THE START KLAUS WHAT A CRAP ENDING

AY UP CLAUS

Sometimes you gotta throw a game to avoid getting a technical penalty during clan wars. Too many techs and you lose the chance to play battles, so you lose on purpose.

Strategic losing, I understand why but still…

There is a very well known NA clan that is right now purposefully losing clan battles to lower their ELO from 1200 to around 800. Doing that means they can absolutely stomp on lower elo clans next CW's season. Really disgusting but WG don't care.

option 3 ... rigged

Maybe it was a team of Jehovah Witnesses. They found out that they were sinning.

... A very short conversation with BingChat coulda saved Claus from this humiliating embarrassment. Instead, his Confirmation Bias is again on full display, AND he has AGAIN wrongly accused innocent parties of cheating. STOP IT, @Claus!!!

they want to loose cause they don't want to have more lines up cause they don't have enough players and they don't want to get a penalty

12

They had to lose the game, I ve seen a lot of this shit. They only left 2 tanks alive so that they can kill them, easy as that.

... I've said it many times ... "Klans iz gonna Klan"

I gotta say, Claus, you don't look old enough to be making the cultural and artistic historical references that you do from time to time! Rubber Duck?? My Dad was a radio engineer so we had a CB even before the song and movie came out. I'm sure most people today have no clue what you were doing when you "air-mic'd". LOL!

possibly trolling or a friend clan doing a little goof?

Klaus, You have no idea how CW works do you? They are intentionally throwing because they don't actually want to win the battle. It's because of how WG designed the system, if they don't attend the battle the whole clan gets penalised.

WHAT IS THIS??? REALLY? RIGGED BATTLES IN CLAN WARS? OMG!

This video shows that Claus can't count.

can you do a raffle

May be they did not have any ammo left!!

When i was playing this useless manipulated game i was part of a clan and did clan wars. Many times the order was to throw the game away to get players into the next one.

Another rigged game is clear... In essence, moral and definitive conclusion in 5 points: 1) The WG decides how the players they choose should behave 2) The WG decides who should be the winning Clans 3) The WG creates Clan with the best players chosen 4) The WG consequently condemns the other Clans to lose 5) The WC... 5 bis) The WG decides everything 5 Ter) The WG is the WG and I am not a dick!

12 FFS, counts obvious full 15 member team, but dont otherone and even people in coments says 10 WOW :D

count 3 times ten instead of twelf ? c mon

WEhatever.....anyway a cheat--show---.....

They had to lose, this is typical CW strategy planning. You don't want to win all your battles... Nothing fishy here

is it me or was this loades of bad choices for "pros" apart from extra game functions.

Interesting but also a small detail into this, they retreat with 2 tanks left on the enemy side, which means mostly likely KAP clan would already know they GMPS clan is down to -5 tanks, so If you do the math correctly, if GMPS would had all 15 tanks, the overall counting at the moment of retreat would be on GMPS advantage, so KAP clan admit the defeat in a very unusual way. Or, we will never know the reason. Just my two cents on it.

Its amusing to watch someone who has no idea about clan wars or clan war mechanics and dude makes a whole youtube video to create drama. Alone from that one round there are two possible, reasonable, and legal reasons(YES its amazing you can us all of those 3 adjectives isnt it?) why a clan was purposely loosing a matchup. I wont explain any of the reasons because Claus most probably knows exactly why clans are doing it (If not may god have mercy on his viewers). And if he doesnt know he could easily ask. Its not uncommon and there more than one legit reasons. And DUDE is it ridiculous him making connections to the 11k banned accounts that were using illegal software. What a trash entertainment.

Idiot can get his clan busted for this. Shouldnt have posted it. Its common enough, but can get the clan in trouble.
