Ian Huston: There can be misconceptions toward esports professionals when compared to what people view as traditional athletes. However, this perception is slowly changing as esports becomes more mainstream and people recognize what preparation and sacrifice is needed in being a professional. I personally think that the next step in esports’ march towards the mainstream revolves around players and their personal streaming. It’s been a form of entertainment for so many for so long and the main way to view competitions, but there’s been a pivot this year where celebrities and businesses have taken it more seriously as a way to directly connect with their intended audien

Landing is a key part of any game of PUBG Mobile . Deciding where to land can determine the tone for the rest of the game. It can also be the conclusion of the game if not done properly. It's important to pay attention to where opponents as landing. As when they land, they are looking for the same thing the player is, loot and weapons. Some high profile areas on the map would be large towns, power plans, and military bases. These can contain some of the best loot in the game, but its important to remember that other players may want this too. It's not recommended to land in an area where there's nothing around. By doing this, the player will find themselves alone and not finding any useful items. This is also just really boring. Find a happy medium between somewhere with loot and somewhere players will avoid. By defeating players, the player can take their loot. At the end of the day, it is a battle royale, the player will have to fight at some po

Rolex: I use to play Call of Duty on console when I was a bit younger. Never on the competitive level. More of just for fun with friends after classes. Now, I just focus on PUBG Mobile and how to improve both as a player and as a t

But which ones are actually worth your time? With such a remarkably lengthy catalog of battle royale titles looking to cash in on the fad, the sheer number of options can be just a little overwhelming. Just dive into the list below to see the top five battle royale games that are definitely worth checking out (if you haven't already), alongside five that should be avoided at all co

Karnage: Cloud9 is globally recognized as one of the best if not the best esports organizations to be a part of. This goes for their employees/staff, pro esports players, and the stream team. Cloud9 recently won the esports organization award of the year and has won many world championship tournaments from Rocket League to CSGO ., etc. Too many to l

Karnage: With PUBG PC/console you will run across a higher level of skill. With Mobile, it is more common to win a chicken dinner even if you’re not a pro player. In order to become a pro on PC it takes far more practice, higher-end equipment, and a good establishment in the pro community. I personally enjoy mobile more because I am able to play anytime, anywhere, just using my mobile ph

Dinoland is more about style than substance, and while players who have an affinity for SMGs and educationally-backed shootouts will enjoy it, those looking to start the game off a little better prepared should think about going elsewhere. However, Dinoland does provide a great location to start off in, as it's not only adjacent to multiple main roads but also Vikendi's new rail system, ensuring lots of options for on-foot and vehicle movement after the inevitable post-landing shoot

In addition to its hero-shooter elements, Apex brought a lot of new tricks that were quickly emulated by its competitors, namely Fortnite . If Fortnite has seen fit to take notes, well, it should be clear that Apex is doing it ri

A few other good locations in PUBG's updated Vikendi which it would be remiss not to mention are Goroka, Dobro Mesto (specifically, the shipyard area), Trevno, and the Coal Mine. While many players will want to shoot straight for locations like the Cement Factory, the Castle, Project windless Sawmill, and Volnova, these other, slightly lesser-traveled locations not only provide a good tactical advantage for players but often contain large amounts of top tier loot, which is something people will definitely need if they're looking to earn themselves a (likely frozen) chicken dinner in PlayerUnknown's BATTLEGROUN

We didn't even get this as much as we wanted in the last entry, but Fortnite is fast. Good luck trying to get your dad into the game because if you're not on your P's and Q's you're going to get pwned by some 8-year-old wearing a snap-back sideways within minutes of dropping off the battle bus. PUBG however, is more in line with the game play of a classic shooter. It's slow, almost empty at times and getting kills in it usually requires a much more patient, methodical approach. Sure the best players can run-n-gun like it's nobodies business, but if you play the game slow you have a good chance of making it
