Congratulations to FS and VP they definitely deserved the partnership.
But 12 global partners with PGS invite system for the first six months overload the entire system and essentially turn the esport into a closed league.
Because of that, statements about PUBG Esports becoming “more open” to new players by introducing the TPP format sound contradictory and meaningless.
The chances for a new team are extremely small. And even if a new roster manages to qualify for a LAN and performs well there, it may not truly matter in the long term.
PUBG Esports needs a transparent global ranking system that is tied primarily to players rather than organizations.
The formula should be clear and understandable so that any viewer can calculate team standings themselves.
This ranking should be publicly displayed and updated after every tournament giving fans something real to follow and care about.
Tournament invitations should be based strictly on this ranking.
All other teams should go through qualifiers.
LAN slots should increase or decrease depending on each region’s performance.
If the GPT partnership concept is considered essential, then limit it to one GPT team per region for example, the PGC champion and perhaps one additional team based on the previous year’s results.
All remaining tournament slots should be earned through regional competition.
Strengthen the regional scene. Fans don’t want to watch a LAN event where the participants are already known months in advance. Esports is exciting when new teams emerge and earn their place on the big stage.
Right now, the real competition between teams is happening at the negotiation table in Krafton’s office, not on the battleground.
The PEC: Fall Last Chance Stage gave us some truly INCREDIBLE moments, with qualification for the Grand Finals coming down to the wire 🔥
Let’s rewind and relive it all! ⏪
Pro Teams/Players from every region have to report this one or speak in their socials about this 36.1 patch added to esports custom mode. PNC is gonna be first tournament where team can lose a tournament by run over of BRDM. This is not sports from now.
