PNC 2022: Update on the Participating Teams



Hello, PUBG Esports Fans.

As the return of the PUBG Nations Cup fast approaches, we wanted to inform you of an issue we've run into with one of the teams. As excited as we are to get back into the thrills of an in-person tournament and after exhausting every way to have everyone on-site, Team China will, unfortunately, participate in PNC 2022 remotely.

Over the last couple of years, PUBG Esports have had to adjust quite a bit in the wake of the pandemic. From full-on remote tournaments to hybrid ones, we’ve had to compromise in certain aspects to keep the show running.

In Shanghai, where most of the PCL PUBG Esports teams are located, teams are facing ongoing pandemic challenges and even had to convert PCL Spring to an online tournament during the middle of the season. While we all hope to get back to some semblance of normal soon, the reality is that we must respect each nation’s local policies.

How did we decide on this exception?

Our goal for PNC 2022 was an on-site event for both players and fans to enjoy. We reviewed every possible method we could think of to achieve this for the grand return of the Nation’s Cup. In the end, the pandemic-related travel restrictions forced us to have to consider online participation over in-person.

With this inevitability, we’ve put together the following prerequisites for Team China:

  • All members of Team China participating in PNC 2022 must be present in one place.
  • An assigned staff and referee must also be present in order to ensure a fair competitive environment.
  • The provided PCs and equipment will be identical to that of the Bangkok arena.
  • Team China's online participation should not interfere with or affect the Bangkok arena.

The PUBG Esports team has been diligent in finding a location that can accommodate all of the above requirements and has decided that Team China will participate online from Guangzhou city. This is a location close to Bangkok to reduce latency while still having the resources to make the competitive environment as close to the Bangkok arena as possible.

Over 40 test matches were played during an 8-day test period and the average ping in Guangzhou city during that time was 40-60ms as compared to the 20-40ms that players in Bangkok received. With Bangkok's ping maintaining a similar level of ping to our usual esports server, we are confident we’ve done all we can to ensure that latency won’t get in the way of the competition.

The PUBG Esports team has shared this information with Team China and the other 15 national teams in advance, to ensure everyone is in agreement and has all the details. We will continue to monitor the situation and will continue to do our best to ensure that all 16 national teams can perform in an equal and fair environment. It’s our hope to not have to make these exceptions for much longer, but thank you and the teams for your understanding as we continue to adjust in the wake of the pandemic.

PUBG Esports Team.

PUBG 18.1 ranked season release date, Paramo map is back

PUBG Battlegrounds players can try out the latest update for the battle royale game today by jumping into the PC test server, ahead of the arrival of the PUBG 18.1 ranked season release date. The new patch, which is due to release on June 8, also changes up the map rotation slightly and increases item spawn rates to increase healing potential in the multiplayer game.


The patch brings the start of PUBG Battlegrounds ranked season 18 when it launches on live servers next week, and also switches up the map rotation and frequency. Those playing normal matches will notice that Vikendi is gone again, with the snowy map leaving to make way for the return of Paramo's active volcano environment alongside regulars Erangel, Miramar, Taego, and Sanhok. Paramo has seen some slight tweaks to add additional rocks and cover, along with a unique-looking spiral well.


The ranked map rotation has been tweaked slightly to increase the odds of players parachuting onto Taego, with a split of 40% of games on Erangel, 30% on Miramar, and 30% on Taego. Rewards from ranked season 17 will also be available to claim once ranked season 18 is underway and must be claimed by the end of the season.

PUBG patch 18.1 notes removes Vikendi yet again

The latest PUBG patch notes have been revealed for update 18.1 and Krafton is once again removing Vikendi, amongst making a number of other changes. The hot, lava-ridden rocks of Paramo will take Erangel's place.


Paramo has seen steep cliffs added to some mountains to prevent players from climbing to the top and more cover has been added to some areas of the map. Other key changes involve improving health item spawn rates on Erangel and Miramar by 10% and 6% respectively. Elsewhere the mission list for Special Drops and events have been added to the menu screen, allowing you to see your mission progress at any time and a multitude of bug fixes have been implemented.


The PUBG patch 18.1 update will launch on June 8 in North America, Europe and Asia after an eight hour maintenance period on the day, hopefully scheduled to end at 1:30 am PT / 4:30 am ET / 9:30 am BST / 10:30 am CEST / 5:30 pm KST.
