Introducing: PUBG GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP 2021



Hello PUBG Esports fans,

The year 2021 was another tough one due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but we’ve done our best to continue PUBG Esports globally by hosting PGI.S and 2 PUBG Continental Series events. We are now announcing the return of our beloved finale of PUBG Esports, the PUBG Global Championship 2021.

[h2]PGC 2021[/h2]
The PUBG Global Championship (PGC 2021) will be held this upcoming November. Like PGI.S earlier this year, PGC 2021 will be a LAN/Online hybrid tournament. Teams from outside of the tournament region will be invited to fly to Paradise City in Incheon, Korea.

Running from November 19th to December 19th, 32 of the finest teams from around the globe will be competing for a prize pool of over $2 Million USD. Again, PGC will have 30% of the profit earned from PGC items sales added directly to the prize pool so that teams will benefit from the fans’ support.

12 Teams from Asia, 8 teams from Europe, 6 teams from APAC, and 6 teams from the Americas region will be invited. The exact list of participating teams will be determined based on PGC Qualification Points gathered throughout the year once PCS5 concludes.

[h2]TOURNAMENT FORMAT[/h2]

PGC 2021 will consist of a 5-week long tournament including 1 week of Rank Decision, 3 weeks of Weekly League, and a Grand Final during the last week.

RANK DECISION
  • Preliminary Rank Decision matches will take place during the very first week to decide which 16 teams will start in the first Weekly Survival.
WEEKLY SURVIVAL
  • 16 Weekly Survival matches will be played over 3 days during the week. Teams must win a Chicken Dinner to advance to the Weekly Finals.
  • The remaining 15 teams from each lobby will be joined by the next team in line from the Bottom 16 waiting list.
WEEKLY FINAL

A total of 10 matches will be played over two days, and the best team will automatically earn a spot in the Grand Final.
  • The winning team from each Weekly Final (3 teams total) will earn a spot in the Grand Final
  • The top 9 teams with highest points accumulated across all 3 weeks of Weekly Finals will also advance to the Grand Final
  • The remaining teams that did not advance to the Grand Final will participate in the Grand Survival. Teams who win a Chicken Dinner in each of the 4 matches in the Grand Survival will fill the remaining Grand Final spots.
GRAND FINAL

The 16 qualified teams will compete in a 15-match tournament over 3 days.
  • The Grand Final standings based on SUPER Point Rule will determine the Grand Champion of PGC 2021.
[h2]THE SCORING SYSTEM[/h2]
PUBG Esports announced the adoption of a new scoring method with the MC Rule back in April which was applied to PCS4 and PCS5.

We sought to add more fun and excitement to the tournament and to promote the core identity of the Battle Royale genre, Survival. However, the rule change caused some unintended side effects. Matches became more monotonous, and teams suffered from the excess pressure to earn Chicken Dinners.

After collecting feedback from fans and through a deep discussion with PUBG teams around the world, we’ve made the following decision regarding the PUBG Esports scoring system.

WE HUMBLY WELCOME AND APPRECIATE FEEDBACK FROM THE FANS AND TEAMS.PUBG ESPORTS WILL READAPT THE SUPER POINT RULE STARTING WITH PGC 2021.
  • As an exception, the Weekly Survival matches will feature WWCD format and not use SUPER Point Rule.
  • All other matches will use the SUPER Point Rule and consider both placement points and kill points.
  • The final rankings will be decided by SUPER Point Rule using both placement points and kill points.

The PUBG Esports team truly believes that it is most important to provide fun and exciting matches to the fans while providing a competitive, but also enjoyable, environment to the participating players. We will continue to accept and evaluate your feedback.

More details on PGC 2021 will be announced after PCS5.

PUBG Esports Team.

PUBG patch adds a new vehicle, gun, and casual mode

A raft of new content has made its way to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PC. Update 13.2 has been on the test server for the past week, but it's now on the live server alongside a new PUBG survivor pass.


With the update, you're getting a new SMG called the P90. It's been added to care packages, making it the first SMG to be flung in since the original Tommy Gun. It comes with its own 5.6mm high-powered ammo, which makes it suitable for longer-range combat. It also comes with a cheek pad, handguard, laser, and silencer pre-attached and non-detachable.


There's also a new pickup truck called the Porter that's exclusive to Taego. It's Hyundai's representative commercial truck, which was first introduced in 1977, if you're into your truck facts. The Porter - like, the in-game version - also comes with a trunk system, which you can use to maximise the acquisition of items. You use the compartment of the truck to load various items for when you need 'em. Keep in mind, though, that they'll be destroyed if the Porter goes kaput, naturally.

PUBG LABS: Zone Tag Again



Hello Survivors!

The battle for the Blue Ball is back. PUBG presents to you LABS: Zone Tag Again! Since the first version of Zone Tag that was released this February was quite experimental for us as well, we've utilized our players' feedback thereafter and made some both big and small changes that would hopefully suit your tastes.

Let's now take a look at those changes.

[h2]LABS: Zone Tag Changes[/h2]


HEALTH REGENERATION
  • To make things fairer, all players can now regenerate health based on their movement speed (also works inside vehicles). The faster you move, the more health you regenerate per second.
OVERALL LOOT
  • We’ve increased the overall amount of loot as we noticed that players were not able to find enough loot within phases of the game.
  • We also removed boost items as everyone can regenerate HP based on movement speed.
THE ANCHOR
  • An Anchor will spawn if the Carrier stays in one area for too long.
  • The area radius of the Anchor gets larger with every circle phase.
  • The Blue Ball will get detached if the Carrier does not move away from the Anchor.
BOATS AND AQUARAILS
  • Boats and Aquarails will spawn.
  • The Carrier however cannot enter water, nor use boats or Aquarails.

For more details on the general rules of Zone Tag, check out our previous announcement.
