Wargaming.net has announced that it is will be the main sponsor of this year’s European Games Awards (EGA). The public award ceremony will take place August 12, 2011 on the event ship Pure Liner 1 on the Rhine in Cologne.

“A games-award, which allows players from all over Europe not only to nominate games and companies, but to choose the winner themselves, is a fantastic idea, said Victor Kislyi, CEO of Wargaming.net. This way, not only do developers get a feedback from regions they usually have little or no contact to, but also do games and companies, which might not have been on everybody’s regional radar before, receive public attention. We are happy we can commit to this idea with our support.”
