World of Tanks: 122 TM Marathon & Black Market Incoming
3 min readAccording to the Russian WOT Express blog, our predictions don’t seem to be far off and we will see two important events in the next weeks:
- 122 TM Marathon: From 12 February to 22 February
- Black Market: From 18 February to 24 February OR From 25 February to 3 March (not confirmed yet)
The 122 TM Challenge
The event will start on February 12 and you will have to complete 10 intense Stages to earn the Tier VIII 122 TM, a brand-new Chinese Premium medium tank for free, or with a juicy discount. As previous marathons, the challenge will last 10 days and involve 10 consecutive Stages. To make the Challenge more dynamic, there are two ways to collect the rewards: missions for commitment and missions for mastery.
You can decide if you want to complete the challenges with Tier X vehicles, or just pure base experience grind, if you choose the second option, expect the values to be similar to previous events and around 250,000 Base Experience.
Black Market
The Black Market event will start on 18 February or 25 February and will last 7 days (dates aren’t 100% confirmed yet), each day brings two deals usually at early hours in the morning and one late afternoon. In 2019 the list was straight forward, deals for either Credits or Gold with each vehicle having a limited amount with the rule First Come, First Served.
In 2020 a new mechanic was introduced: Auction. If a vehicle is available by auction, it means there will be a minimum bid and a limited amount of vehicles, the highest bids will get the vehicle. Because its an auction, this can lead to players paying a fortune in Gold or Credits for something that isn’t really worth it. My advice is: bid as close to the minimum bid as possible. If everyone does it, the prices will be kept low and no one will overpay for a vehicle.
If you are wondering what vehicles will come this year, be sure there are no leaks at the moment, any information available about a possible list of vehicles is fake. We will have to wait and see if either a leak closer to the event is possible or if we will have to wait each day for Wargaming to tell us what’s next! For those interested, I’ve compiled a list of both previous Black Market events and their prices.

Omg
You forgot to put foch 155 in list that was last offer in 2019 for 25 mil credits
Yes, I noticed and corrected. Thanks for letting me know anyway 🙂
The IS-6B was sold in Gold, not Credits.
who the flip at wg thought it was a good idea to sell the lef for 300 gold
And now they sell it with bonds
ı miss t34b. will it come back? do you know?
122 TM has horrible DPM
However all the other stats are insane apart from the speed which is ok.
Lets hope it doesn’t start until the 25th because I need more silver. Trying to stock pile 50M. Gold on the other hand I don’t have to worry about because “Boxes” lol
That feeling when you waited all night for the panzer V/IV to pop on NA, and it didn’t even sell out…
That was the most slept on offer between the two BM’s…
We dont really know the soft stats of the gun tho,
Just check tanks.gg, its all there already.
That’s why they moved from May to February
Nice posts with that years info
One of these events are going to get trolled an postponed by wg. Otherwise its gonna be wasted. If they puut these events on different dates that would be good for server activity and players might return for them. But putting these on same periods.. I dunno man.
Are there any leaks?
i really want to get for silver fcm 36 pak40 i want to punish enemy tier V heavys 🙂
fake leaks only ….. just as Harkonnen wrote in this here post!
read it first instead of straight going to spam chat ….
no offense buddy!
#sarcasm
I really hope they sell the Foch 155 this time around. I was just a F2P pleb in 2019 so I didn’t have the silver for it then, and I got the FV183 last year. As long as I can get the Foch 155 I’ll be happy.
Tomorrow 25 february. Have you any estimation or new leaks ??
Same, want it soooo bad
