Things PUBG should do to become an Esports game in 2018

Looks like 2017 was the year of PlayerUknown’s Battlegrounds.

The pinnacle game launched on Steam Early Access in March and gradually improved over time to finally be released this past week with version 1.0. The game has just reached 30 million players.

PUBG has gone through a lot of changes, but the game is still in its infancy when it comes to esports. Several major and online tournaments have shown promise in PUBG. And here is a list of things that can help PUBG in 2018 reach new heights.

Apply both maps

In PUBG’s first 2 esport events, gamescom’s Invitational and IEM Oakland, Erangel was the only map to compete. After the IEM event, the Miramar desert map was released.

Adding Miramar to the map roster will add variety and force teams to master both maps, as well as prevent things from stalling.

Reduce the number of teams in the game

PUBG’s major tournaments all use 20 teams and 100 players on the Erangel map. Because of the size of the map and the fact that water plays an important role in the game, 16 teams and 64 players can be more effective, as seen in some online tournaments.

Hear the players

In a game like PUBG where the RNG (random) system plays an important part in the game, we also need to understand the reasons for the decisions being made in the game.

Why did this team decide to push into Gatka instead of Georgopol? What is the idea of ​​hugging the circle instead of running into the center of the circle?

But this will give the viewer more information, in addition, it will also help us understand the personality and have a better view of the teams and their personalities in the game.

Further optimization

It should be clear to PUBG that although the game has come a long way since its launch in March, there are still a lot of problems that still exist today.

Of course the frame rate and overall gameplay have improved a lot, but the climbing system still has bugs and a backlog of lag in the early game. There are also game crash issues.

PUBG may be the official 1.0 version already, but there’s still a lot of work to be done to optimize the game and push its performance to the best it can, even on LAN.

Improved tracking tools

The tracking camera for PUBG is sometimes very laggy and can be inaccurate. This should be on the priority list with PUBG Crop’s competition and esport format, as the top esport titles strive to create an extremely eye-catching watching experience.
