PUBG eSports: The Classic of the Battle Royal Genre!
In recent years, there has been a growing interest among players in the Battle Royale genre. The brightest representative of this trend is undoubtedly PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, known as PUBG. It is incredibly popular around the world and millions of people play it all day long from a variety of devices. The game is available on PC, Xbox One, PS4, as well as iOS and Android platforms.
The Success Story and The Secret of PUBG’s Popularity
The idea and concept of the PUBG game belong to its creator Brendan Greene. This man was able to create a modification for Day Z, which in turn is a modification of the game Arma. Yes, like many other successful game projects, such as Dota 2 or Counter-Strike, Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds had to go from an amateur mod to a full-fledged game. Brendan admitted that he drew inspiration from the Japanese movie “Battle Royale.” He managed to find and bring a new original meaning to classic shooters, and it quickly resonated with players. The mod became incredibly popular, after which the Korean company BlueHole offered Greene to implement his idea as a separate game.
In 2017, the project appeared on Steam and in the first month it was sold almost 5 million. According to statistics, PUBG has become one of the best-selling video games in the past few years.
How Did PUBG Get Into eSports?
Inspired by the success of the developers did not pay proper attention to the refinement of the game. And there were a lot of bugs and defects that were used by cheaters. That’s why gradually the interest to the game from the fans began to wane. PUBG eSports is a logical consequence of the development of a gaming product. In addition, this measure was designed to save the situation and bring back the former popularity of the game by becoming the rules and updates.
Features as an eSports Discipline
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was destined to become a professional discipline. After all, the gameplay and concept involve constant confrontation and players fighting against each other. Another feature is the high “watchability” of matches. Watching the professionals play PUBG is as interesting as playing it yourself. At the same time, the eSports PUBG version is different from the original game. In particular, teams can choose their drop-off points, which largely determines their tactics.
How to Play PUBG? The Basic Rules
The essence of the game is simple enough. Up to 100 players land on an island from a flying plane. Each of them lands empty-handed and must first take care to find weapons, ammunition, and other equipment. After a while, the area on the map available for free movement will begin to shrink. This will force you and other players to avoid the shrinking edges of the circle, which means you will concentrate closer to each other, which will inevitably lead to clashes. Victory will go to whoever can survive this bloody battle. Searching for resources that will help you survive in the cruel world of the game, constant fighting, killing your opponents, and the “kill or be killed” philosophy — that’s what PUBG is all about.
PUBG Mobile eSports
The demand for mobile games is growing every year. Modern smartphones are often as powerful as PCs, while at the same time, due to their compact size, they have a lot of potentials. PUBG Mobile is a version designed specifically for tablets and smartphones based on iOS and Android. Today this version is the most popular in the countries of the Asian region. That is where mobile eSports is booming right now.
