How about using the 5-10 first minutes of each game having an in-depth analysis of the previous game (and cut back to live if something happens of course)

Analysis of this kind : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Pc_UuiLleo

Just pick the winner or the most impressive team of the previous game and explain their rotation, etc. This is something the panel doesn’t do and this is something the analyst guy in the duo of casters can do.

Adding a segment like this while the game is live would also be a good way to show newcomers the depth PUBG has and isn’t just about circle luck and good shooting.

I tried to share my hype with people who usually watch esports, but the dead moments at the beginning are a big deterrent.

To be completely honest, I usually began watching the tournament when game 2 was over to be able to skip all the breaks and looting moments.
