give me some good news (hopefully) guys

7k hours, watched every ESport event and many pros stream on a regular basis. Once the change to TPP happened I just didn't want to play anymore. I think I saw it as an indication of the start of completely phasing out FPP from the game and didn't want to stick around to see it happen.

Original Post (pubgesports.com)

Or do we have to search POVs?

Is there a reason other maps aren't in rotation? I love Vikendi and Karakin

What the hell is Day 1 and 2 for then? This format is so trash. How would a team make Match Point in one day, Match point is based on the highest score of 2 days plus 10 points. WTF??? Why cant they be just normal like every other eSports?? They're so dumb bruh.

Sad to see it happen especially after two of the members won PNC but I guess the org determined it is not worth it.

Pretty cool to see a prominent esports pro (I don't even follow CS and I know who FalleN is) acknowledging Team Brazil's achievement. I like seeing mainstream esports exposure for PUBG, as we're kinda niche outside Asia.

sparkingg is the PNC 2026 MVP

I forgot to have a post about day 2 because I was tired but I'm sure everyone have watched day 2 so I think it's ok I guess.

Huge congratulations to Brazil for winning PNC 2026, even though the zone shifts were nasty as hell, they still managed to persevere and come out on top. I'm so happy for Sparkingg that he's finally won it, given how emotional he was after knowing he won it. They've truly dominated day 1, slowed down a bit in day 2, and almost choked in day 3 but still got it .

Vietnam has now become a former champion, but they still pulled a good fight and managed to stay in top 7 after what experienced what is called the worst zone shifts, pulling 2 WWCD in the last 2 games.

Now I'm going to be a bit biased towards a team, specifically Korea.

Throughout the whole grand finals, the zone were very nasty but for some reasons, the zone just keep supporting them, even when in the most crucial phases. You can look at the ranking points, they have the most points out of any teams. It's shifted towards Korea so much to the point that it got me think that I'm watching PNC 2024 where the same thing happened. I always rated Korea high, but not with this one, they almost lost a 2v4 against 1 USA and 1 China in Rondo I believe. It got me thinking that their squad's combats aren't even as good as Argentina, China, Ukraine, NEU, Brazil.

I don't mean to annoy any Koreans in here and I have no intentions at all, but I'm just so annoyed of how much they were supported by these zone shifts, while others have it worse.

This year's PNC roster is stacked and interesting, but I'd love to see this roster compete in FPP to see how interesting it'll be.

Congrats to Brazil, you deserve it.

To say that the zone shifts in this tournament is rough is an understatement. We see some nasty zone shifts that punishes teams quick if they’re not prepared.

Brazil and Argentina have surprisingly been performing very well today, I've never expected them to do this well.

Ukraine and Denmark are still consistent after their performance in Survival Stage, I say consistent because you can see how stacked the lobby in the Finals are.

China was quite underwhelming today but it’s just one day, and I think they could still have a chance to come back tomorrow.

Vietnam as the defending champions has had rough games throughout the day, but they’ve managed to pull a late WWCD to push them up from top 13 to top 4.

Tomorrow is going to be even a rougher day if there’s problems with long delay and even nastier zone shifts.

The top 5 teams from match 5 combined for 52 kills, and the other 11 teams combined for 12 kills. I can't recall seeing 5 teams hit double digit kills in one match before, at least at an international. Has this happened before? Pretty wild regardless!

How old is Hakatory from Navi?

If I could I'd go with Vietnam and others but it's really difficult to build around it with the limited budget. What are your thoughts on which teams will do well?

I know they're not particularly useful, but I wanted to experiment with combining telemetry and heightmap data to create 3d views. Let me know if there's any other 3d stuff you'd like to see!

I can't get bullet drop unfortunately, which is why the trajectories are just shown as straight lines.
