Epicenter will not be in Random Battles for any Tier. It will be removed as a Game Mode from Random Battles and Co-Op.

We've actually discussed this. One of the things to remember is that independent data-tracking sites like wows numbers are not affiliated with WG or World of Warships. They are purely fan-sites, so we don't based our decisions around how it will affect them, generally.
Oh, I see. Apologies then, I thought the implication was outside sites as I know how important they are to a lot of folks.
I'm afraid I can't agree that the stats are going to become "false". Multiple types of game setups have existed for a long time now and stats include those. Modes like Epicenter, Standard Battle, and Domination all influence the length of a battle and your stats along with them. Your random battle stats have always included the stats from those modes and Arms Race will too so I don't believe stats will experience a major difference with the inclusion of Arms Race.
I've always enjoyed it, personally, but I'm known to hold opinions that aren't always shared by others. As for the mode, Epicenter has been a sore spot for a fair number of people for a significant amount of time.
Epicenter is going to stay in Training Battles, so if you'd like to play around with the format you could do so with a group of friends.
