Starladder reveals details of the upcoming StarSeries i-League PUBG

Just right after the upcoming IEM in Poland some of the worlds best invited team will move straight to Kiev to take place in the next tournament.

The tournament will be co-branded “StarSeries i-League PUBG”. It will take place between 1st and 4th of March 2018 in “Kiev Cybersports Arena”, Ukraine.

One of the most important features is that the tournament will be organised in a team-format only (Squad mode). The tournament organisers will directly invite 16 strongest teams from all over the world. The prize pool will amount to $100,000.

Regional distribution of direct invites:

  • •  North America: 4 teams
  • •  Europe: 3 teams
  • •  China: 3 teams
  • •  CIS: 2 teams
  • •  Asia: 1 team
  • •  South America: 1 team
  • •  South-East Asia: 1 team
  • •  Oceania: 1 team

 We are not sure how they would decide who are the world strongest teams at that moment and invite distribution is pretty doubtable, but today they also revealed the tournament point system. Also StarSeries have announced that teams would play 20 maps across 4 days and that is a very solid number considering that ESL have decided to reduce the amount from 10 to 8. All maps would also be played on Erangel.

All 16 invited teams will form one group which they will fight in for the duration of the tournament (4 days). Each match-day will consist of 5 matches, while the teams will gain points for the number of kills (6 points for one) and for the final place in each game.  

The distribution of points, according to the secured place in each match:

  • • 1 place - 250 points
  • • 2 place - 200 points
  • • 3 place - 180 points
  • • 4 place - 150 points
  • • 5 place - 110 points
  • • 6 place - 90 points
  • • 7 place - 80 points

All matches of the tournament will be played in FPP (First Person Perspective), with battles taking place on the map Erangel, sunny weather. Besides this, the teams will start each gaming day with a showmatch in a classic mode with Third Person Perspective.

The best team, following the outcome of the 4 match-days will take the champions’ cup and the lion’s share of the prize pool - $100,000.
