This is big! Teams might have to rethink some strategies now. Exalt sitting fifth on points, have a big chance to go trough now, rather than pray for results to go their way
This is crazy news and could have huge implications for who qualifies for PGC:

Really bad news for everyone below FaZe basically. (And with bad luck could also affect them)
But why?
Why would Bumble withdraw 3 hours before?
This is one of the most random WTF moments I’ve seen in PUBG Esports, and I’ve seen a lot lmao.
**Part 2:** Exalt backs out last minute and BBL is ushered in.
Bro never watch EMEA but this is so screwed for some teams now….
The teams have to win the whole thing or go home in even higher stakes, the hell why that happened idk
To simplify for those who didn’t understand these news :
Basically Exalt paid whatever amount of money to Bumble (since they would never qualify to PGC), for them to withdraw from PEC fall and voilà, who’s next on the list to replace them? Exalt of course.
With this, the chances of Exalt qualifying for PGC went through the roof again. Clever move tbh, a dishonest one but still clever.
This change every PGC scenario we have before the Finals, now Exalt totally can control their fate
I was rooting for bumble tho, they were my underdogs 🙁
why
lol fuck competetive integrity i guess… if pubg had a spine it would perma ban all bumble players and play a 15 team final. it is obvious that exalt is paying them to withdraw, good night pubg esports.
This basically undermines the integrity of the event? Very unfortunate for teams trying to qualify for PGC.
This smells like bullshit.
Yeeeah this might be a coincidence, but with how big this is, it’s hard to believe it’s a coincidence.
