A point of contention in the competitive PUBG Mobile scene is regarding Loops Esports. Indeed, events circling this team have lit up the global headlines. Concluding on the 20th December, the organization staged a protest which led to Loops Esports Disqualified from the entire event. So what happened?
It all took place in the very last game of the PMGC League. After the esports team management prevented their team captain of Michael “DadiN” Barboza, the remaining players decided to take action. Landing in a Church in Erangel, the players proceeded to sit in a circle aimlessly, not offering any resistance to their opponents. Notably, one player on the team carried on playing regardless.
Accordingly, the players felt confident doing this due to their 6th place position in the leaderboard. That didn’t stop Tencent from immediately pushing them out – Loops Esports disqualified as they broke certain regulations. Just like that, every other team in the leaderboard beneath them gained one spot, with A1 Esports moving on thanks to them. Also, Loops Esports will not be claiming any prize too.
Are we justifying what happened? Nope and neither are we condemning it. Protests in esports are commonplace due to how difficult it can be as a competitor and mistreatment can arise. Bearing this in mind, we’re definitely interested to see how the future of these players unrolls from this point onwards. This is the first protest for PUBG Mobile ever.
Regardless, the PUBG Mobile Global Championship Finals are going to take place in a month – an event we’re very excited for.
