Event Background
Indeed, kicking off next week, the event starts on the 13th April with an end date of 23rd May. Held at the VSPN Studio in Shanghai, this is a celebration of the Chinese region and its relationship with competitive PUBG. Bearing this in mind, the invited teas hail mainly from seeds acquired at the Fall 2020 event and the recent Preseason Spring event.
Here they are, all 24 of them:

Besides a hefty prize pool, there are multiple seeds up at stake. Namely, the top 6 enjoy a pass to the PCS 4 Asia, with the entire top 21 booking an appointment at the 2021 PCL Summer event. Meanwhile, the top 3 are still provided an opportunity to redeem themselves at the 2021 PCL Summer Preseason.
Format
It’s an exciting time to be a fan of competitive PUBG, that’s for certain. Now, moving on to format there’s a lot to describe and we’ll do so as concisely as possible, though it’s mostly familiar if you’ve been paying attention to recent PUBG and PUBG Mobile events:
- Weekly Series: April 13th – May 16th.
- Weekly Stage – 6 games daily across three days (Tue-Thu) with games played within 3 separate groups. Here, only the top 16 make it to the next stage, being the Weekly Final
- Weekly Final – 12 matches to make an awesome Saturday and Sunday
- Playoff – May 19-23rd – based on performances and points earned mainly from the Weekly Final, 30 matches will take place over 5 days with the top 16 fighting for the big prize.
Also, there’s this new ‘MOST CHICKEN RULE’ which looks to spice things up too.

Predictions
It’s highly likely that a team seeded from the Fall 2020 event will come out on top, with no disrespect meant to the pre-season teams who had to fight harder to qualify.
Bearing this mind, I’ll refresh our memory with the standings from the event. Here are the top 6 from back then:
- Four Angry Men
- Multi Circle Gaming
- Newhappy
- Infantry
- Petrichor Road
- Tianba
Undoubtedly, Four Angry are a top contender both regionally and on an international level too – placing 4th at the PUBG Global Invitational.S recently also.
Notably, placing 5th at the PUBG Global Invitational.S is none other than Multi Circle Gaming, who might be getting somewhat annoyed at 4AM’s constant dominance at the top.
Beyond those two, Infantry may also have a good chance as besides a top 4 at the Fall 2020 event, they claimed the 8th spot at again, the PGIS recently.
Otherwise, the nature of battle royale esports remains – it’s never over until it’s over.
