South Korea - PKL Phase 2

Standings post Week 1

This week saw the start for the new Phase of PKL - the first 12 games were as sure exciting and it led to a few takeaways :

Gen.G have finally looked like a championship contender once again with more aggression-oriented play , as well as “Esth3r”, “Loki” and new addition in Cha “Pio” Seung Hoon racking up a ton of kills ( 47 between them to be exact ).

The only team that managed to stay close is VSG, which is coming off a three consecutive 3rd place placement finishes on Wednesday and a 21-kill Chicken Dinner ( first 20+ kill win in Korea this year ) during Saturday’s opening game.

3rd and 4th place after Week 1 are being held by two polar opposite teams kill-heavy APK Prince, which have closed only half of their games with the placement points, but 45 kill week have skyrocketed them in the standings, and placement-heavy Lavega Esports that achieved six top five finishes in their eight games ( 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 5th )

Ending the week in the bottom of the ranking we have Element Mystic that had a disastrous Saturday ( 8 points, 7 of them scored in the first game ), newly-formed OPG Argor, and to the surprise of everyone, the member of the “Big 4” teams in OGN Entus Force.

China - PUBG Champions League Spring

Battle in the China’s main division, PCL, have been in the full swing throughout May, with three weeks of the spring split concluded and fourth of the six played heading to it’s end.

The highlight of Week 1 was a nail-bitting battle between FPX ( FunPlus PhoeniX ) and VC Gaming, which started during their Erangel Division play - both teams stayed quite ahead of the pack, with FunPlus clinching the division title due to winning the tiebreaker with a one more kill ( both teams got 46pts, FPX scored 27 kills vs VC 26 ). VC got the last laugh though, as they have beaten FPX on a tiebreaker to secure the Week 1 title.

The other big story of that week was OMG going from barely making to the Week Final, with a 17-point round at the end of Erangel Division saving them at the end, to nearly winning it all ( leading by 7 points over VC with 2 games to go, but 4 points in those rounds weren’t enough ).
