With ANZPL Season 5 well under way, of course it comes to that time where we start booting up the Best League - the ANZBL! In continuation from last season, the ANZBL will feature six teams that will compete in our competitive 5v5 format, for prizes that include gold for the participants, as well as cash money for the eventual winners.
But we'll need to find out six teams first. With players shifting, new teams being introduced, and the biggest hype around ANZBL that there ever has been, let's kick things under way. The draft will happen tomorrow at 7PM AEST (UTC +10), which is Thursday the 8th of September, on our World of Tanks ANZ Channel! This will be after the usual ANZ Thursday Community Stream, so make sure you stick around to watch both JayRated and KayRated take you through who will be competing this season!

The Teams
With the Cairns Comets going up to the ANZPL, as well as the Wolverines departing, once again we will be looking at two teams joining the spots for the ANZBL.
Alongside the existing teams of the Bundaberg Badgers, Hawthorn Hellcats, Canberra Centurions, and Auckland Archers, there will be two teams that will jump in to the fray.
One is way out West, and the other in the East. You'll need to tune in and find out!
Classic WeeGee announcement, telling us to go watch the stream...
It's never a dull moment here if we're not JayBaiting you in, as they say.
Lock the time into your schedule - The 8th of September, Thursday, 7PM AEST - live just after the usual Thursday stream! So catch KaRath malding before checking out some REAL talent that'll be playing in the ANZBL!
