Same thing for the first week of Tokon's release. The influx of people making posts that break rules force me to pin yet another thread.

Please use this post to say how doomed we are and how crap Riot is, while I'm bringing the broom again.

It's rough on the edges, but it shows a lot of promise.

We've been late to the party, but tons of people are just posting Discussion-based topics, or memes that are not worth the post.

So we have to do some spring cleaning, and apply the rules. But please feel free to use that megathread to talk about what you think about Tokon, what's good, what's bad, and how awesome Deadpool is.

Thank you.

Let her alone, Wade. She suffered enough.

This is not a "BR sucks at Esport" thread. If you wanna complain about this sub-genre, do it in your own thread.

From my perspective, PUBG's kinda the "honest BR". Apex has a lot of Heroic Shooter flavor in it, Fortnite has its building mechanic changing the entire game, Warzone is obviously CoD-coded, etc. Meanwhile, PUBG seemed to me the closes to what could be a sort-of Battle Royale version of CS. Very technical, more precise, tons of fights within buildings, etc.

Pre-COVID, it kinda was THE BR to follow behind Fortnite. I still remember the ridiculous production for 64-player pro leagues like the PEL or the PCS. It kinda seemed to disappear, and I saw bigger productions on Warzone and Apex than on PUBG as of late.

If I have to guess, it may be 3 things.

1. Western bias. - I know that the game's still heavy in SEA. There's high-tier leagues in Vietnam, China and Korea. So I wouldn't be surprised if I just see less activity because I'm EU.
2. Lack of popularity. - I don't see that much content creators hyping up the game, more than other BRs. Granted, if you're a content creator hyping up FPS, you'd be better off playing Extraction Shooters rather than anything else.
3. The Mobile version being shinier. Mobile is the defacto Esport platform for tons of countries in SEA, LatAm, etc. It's also kind of a Western bias, because we don't treat Mobile as seriously as them.

I think I'm missing a ton, so that's why I'm asking here.
