One more international level competition will be held soon for lovers of battle royals. PUBG Corporation as the publisher of the PUBG game has just announced the deployment of an esports tournament entitled PUBG Nations Cup located in Seoul, South Korea. Mentioned as the first all-star event in PUBG Esports, this tournament brings teams from various parts of the world to raise the pride of the nation and fight for prizes worth a total of US $ 500,000.
There are 16 countries participating in PUBG Nations Cup, namely Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Finland, Germany, Japan, Russia, South Korea, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, Vietnam, and Taipei (Taiwan) . PUBG Corporation frees each country to choose its representatives, whether it is based on an agreement or other means that are jointly stipulated. So it is possible for each country to hold its own local tournament to determine who the team will be the representative.
PUBG Nations Cup is a summer closing tournament in the world of PUBG Esports. Before this tournament, there were also two other tournaments, GLL Grand Slam: Classic PUBG in Stockholm, Sweden, and MET Asia Series: PUBG Classic in Bangkok, Thailand. The two PUBG Classic events also offer big prizes worth US $ 300,000 each, and provide a qualifying slot on the winner to advance to the Global Championship PUBG later this year.
GLL Grand Slam: PUBG Classic will be held on July 19-21, 2019 at the Stockholmsmässan (Stockholm International Fairs) venue. Followed by the MET Asia Series: PUBG Classic a few days later, on July 26-28 with location in the Bang Na BITEC (Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Center) building.
While the PUBG Nations Cup itself will be held on August 9, located at Jangchung Arena Seoul. Nations Cup is also the last tournament before PUBG Esports enters Phase 3 period, which is the last period running from mid-August to mid-October 2019. After Phase 3, PUBG Esports will begin preparing to welcome the top and most prestigious tournament, the PUBG Global Championship in November.
“There is no break for those who are talented at PUBG Esports,” PUBG Corporation said on its official website. With many international events, and still added to the regular matches of the season, PUBG Corporation seems to really want to find players with the best expertise and resilience. Solid schedules mean more entertainment for PUBG Esports lovers. However, PUBG Corporation must also be careful not to make such schedules adversely affect the health of athletes due to too many activities.
