I’m glad he opted to keep it simple with top 8 from PAS and PEC.
My hope is that this is not a one off. Maybe we could lock it in again for later in the year. Adds a little extra to both tournaments if teams know that top 8 also qualifies them to Atlantic Showdown.
Let us donate to prizepool too. I will gladly send couple euro!
Amazing work by community!
Honestly I couldn’t imagine PUBG without Avnqr around. The man’s a legend! Massive thanks to him.
On a separate note, 32v32 PAS v PEC show match? 🤔🤔🤔
I love this.
* community tourneys are fun anyway, but with the people involved this one could potentially be quite slick
* great chance to mix things up on the presenter side of things and I love me some mixed region caster combos.
* it’ll be great to see EMEA/Americas face off properly and how the region metas interact.
* the arguments about servers and ping will be legendary
* the arguments about ‘best’ will be legendary
ok, so assuming noone declines, bracket should look like this
EMEA:
HOWL Esports
Acend
Exalt
FUT Esports
FaZe Clan
PolishPower
Natus Vincere
Twisted Minds
Americas:
Luminosity Gaming
Soniqs
Shoot To Kill
Third Eye
Elevate
Decimate
Friendly Fire
00 Nation
is the crowdfund allread set up?
Awesome idea
Any confirmed teams yet? This sounds fun!
I hope he starts a gofundme to fund the tourney and I’m sure a lot of people will contribute
OK, I think we fans should start making up excuses, which we could use in case we loose 😀
Super hyped for this one!!!
I knew all that banter had to end in something good
This is awesome!
Happy to see this happening, I don’t care about EU vs NA thing, just want to watch as much competitive PUBG throughout the year. Good job Avnqr, these community things like hotdrop.gg back in the days just feel different, like we are all involved in some way. Thanks to all involved for making this happen
Hype. No QM, Woo, BBL sucks but it is what it is.
I’ve watched comp pubg since the beginning and avnqr has been there the whole time, the comp scene wouldn’t be the same without him
I wish Top teams from Asia could also be included as well. Then It could be more excitng and competitive. But anyway, as this will not gonna be happened, I will not continue to say this. Infact I am really excited to see this arrangement as there is a huge time gap between PGS and Regional tournament .
But point to be noted, as a fan of EU region and also a researcher, I never see NA region as a competitor. I would prefer them more of a friendly region. Some of their teams and players I also like to watch.
So more over I want to see a friendly Competition(a high level of Scim). we should not forget there is a Global tournament upcoming. So It will be better PGS qualified teams won’t show every card before the main event.
I think Taego (or any third map) has to be included since Best of 18 means 9 games on each server, so with two maps there would be more Miramars on one server and more Erangels on the other. Three maps means three games on each map per server.
