The PUBG inaugural season will begin in January 2019 and see teams from nine regions, including North America, Europe, Latin America, Oceania and five from Asia, compete until the Global Championship in early November.

While’s PUBG’s Twitch audience has steadily dropped over the last two years, the move to eSports is a timely one.

PUBG is one of the most successful and long-standing battle royal titles and has been developed as an eSport event since 2017.

So how will the PUBG season work?

Not all the details are fleshed out yet, but we know that each regional league that leads into November’s global championship will be operated and managed by regional partners.

North America’s National PUBG League, managed by South Korean broadcaster OGN, and the PUBG Europe League, run by Starladder, have been confirmed as two of those operators.

PUBG Corp has been a developer under pressure in the last two years, working on its esports league while competing with the growing popularity of its main competitor, Fortnite.

PUBG Global Invitational (PGI) is the official name for the competition that is coming to a stream near you.

Between July 25 and July 29, 20 teams will compete for the $2 million prize pool in Berlin, Germany.

Making it to the final competition will not be easy. All teams must win through qualification tournaments in the three competing regions — Europe, North America and Asia.

Teams will compete in two different gameplays — third-person perspective and first-person perspective. Four-man squads will enter these modes on different dates and each mode will have a final winner after two days of competition.

Since its release, PUBG has broken all kinds of records. 30 million copies of the game have been sold since March 2017 and ongoing patches, including the Battle Royale, continue to keep the game relevant.

PUBG Announces Weapon Balance And More

A good relationship between a game developer and its gaming community starts with communication.

PUBG Corp. certainly knows how to please its players and they released a statement this week, detailing coming changes to the game.

Based on the community’s feedback, PUBG Corp. is ready to introduce three major changes. These modifications should make the game not only easier, but also fairer.

Weapon balance is the first item on the list. According to their own statistics, most players use ARs weapons on every situation. The weapon of choice is not based on the utility or advantages it brings, but because most players know the AR is stronger. Balancing the weapons will change the way players face different situations.

Weapon attachment is another concern for PUBG Corp. and they plan on making some modifications.

Last but not least, the level 3 helmet will receive a little boost. Armour is the key to survive some matches and this helmet is a game-changer. This helmet is no longer available on the regular loot spawn tables.

Players can obtain the level 3 helmet on the care packages exclusively.

PUBG Corp. assured they’re committed to improve the game and the overall experience. Details about the exact stats of the weapons will come with the respective patch notes.
