Cloud9 Interview: Karnage Cotto Rolex And Ian Huston

Fans from around the world have long asked Bluehole to block Chinese players from accessing other regions, and Eastern gaming titan Tencent even introduced a host of region-exclusive servers for PUBG Mobile in the hopes that it would incentivize players based in China to stay within their digital territ


E Sports are huge and they’re only getting bigger. There are more and more teams like Cloud9 with large rosters of incredibly skilled players, and tournaments are even being aired on television, not just on Twitch or YouTube. Where do you see the major league gaming scene five years from


The vehicles in PUBG are as essential to the game as players running through the fields swinging frying pans and getting sniped by Shroud. Let's see what we have here -- Minivans full of squads slamming into buildings and going up in flames, motorcyclists flipping through the skies only to get their best friend killed as they run into a tree -- ah, the list goes on. It's all so much good fun, and while Fortnite does have some great vehicles as of today, they're mostly meant for playing around with. They just aren't the craziness that can be found with the vehicles in P


Karnage: My mission statement is to bring as many gamers together as possible to generate a huge esports scene for the PUBG Mobile community. I plan to do that by being active in the community, friendly, and help out with staffing events and such. A mission statement being part of Cloud9 would be to give it my all and represent the org in the most professional way I can. Building chemistry with my teammates, and practicing on a daily basis to ensure my skill is up to


This is the part where many gamers rightfully bash PUBG into the the grave that it deserves to die in after introducing it's shady business practices. First, charge for a game that's an unfinished buggy mess that continued to be an unfinished buggy mess for years to come. Second, bring in a shady micro-transaction lottery system that rewards you with crappy cosmetic items for a bloated price. Third, copy the fair and successful battle pass formula that Fortnite has implemented since the start of the series. Boy are those PUBG devs shady, and while the Epic Game's higher ups are no less shady, they at least implemented fair business practices in their most profitable g


While we take great joy in comparing these two battle royale titans, Fortnite really should be in a different league of it's own. PUBG is a traditional battle royale game, neon giant but Fortnite is not only battle royale, but Minecraft too. In the game you have to gather supplies and build to survive -- it's honestly quite bizarre when you really exam it. In the middle of a heated battle you could be mining for stone and build a four-story house. And don't think you'll get very far without utilizing these mechanics, as some of the best players have gotten that way by becoming master build


Most publishers, however, won’t be willing to act on these suggestions. As previously mentioned, the Chinese market is often very lucrative, and region-locking won’t do away with the fundamental issue of cheating. A quarantine of all Chinese players will do nothing but frustrate both standard players and hackers alike in that area, and, should the region’s interest in the game fade because of an artificial blockade, Electronic Arts could stand to lose quite a bit of inco


What’s more, while restricting server access on a continental basis is fairly common and simple to implement, forcing every player in a single country or continent to stick to native servers would be a nearly insurmountable challenge. Should EA and Respawn force all Asian players into the same space, the entire region might find the game unplaya


Rolex: Five years from now I personally believe it is going to be as big as any other sport. People love esports. They love to see their favorite players out on stage competing against the best of the best. It’s only going up from h


Yet, as player numbers dropped and competition became more prominent, Bluehole finally caved to audience demands and removed the ability to search for games by region. While it was a well-received—albeit incredibly late—gesture, it did relatively little to stem the torrent of cheaters plaguing Western servers. Players can easily use a VPN service to artificially switch regions, and there are similar workarounds for the ping lock restriction. Things may be a little better than they once were, but aim-botting, unkillable cheaters sporting triple-digit ping figures are still fairly common in most ar


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
