PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS is a Battle Royale shooter developed by Krafton. It is among the most popular games of all time in terms of player count, due to its unique formula of dropping into an island, looting up with guns and equipment, and then fighting to be the last one standing as the playable area shrinks. The game remains a staple of the Battle Royale esports scene, even as other BR games like Apex Legends, Fortnite, and Warzone have adopted elements of its formula for their own use.

About
Where we dropping?
The Characters: Every match of PUBG starts with all the teams dropping out of an aerial craft onto an island with numerous locations stacked with loot. Players loot up with guns, armor, and grenades and head out to hunt down the enemies on the server. Everyone starts off the same, but only some teams will rise above the rest due to their strategic rotations, relentless looting, and incredible gunplay when faced with a fight.
The Plot: PUBG is one of the most influential battle royale games.
It can be credited with developing many of the modern genre's staples, including dropping in from the sky, the loot formula, and the shrinking play area. But PUBG remains the most gritty and grounded in reality, making each match very intense to watch as the map grows smaller.
Why: OGs of the PUBG scene will be duking it out on the EWC stage, fighting for the chicken dinner and their share of the massive prize pool. Expect intense team fights, mind-blowing strategies, and lifelike action.
