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
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is incredible for the simple fact that it might be the best iteration of a survival multiplayer game the world has ever seen—balancing has been impeccable, strategies are numerous, and the difficulty of the game is just satisfying enough that many players have experienced a victory at least once while retaining enough of a challenge to keep them coming back to chase that post-victory high. The game is still a work in progress, too, so there’s every reason to believe that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is on a skyward trajectory that might not have even reached its peak as of yet—scary thinking for competitors, but for fans of the game, a promising beginning to the new y
When picking the clothes, the players must understand that white, red, green, and blue pixels will be easily visible on monitors/TVs. Wearing fancy items will undoubtedly make a player look cool but not as cold as winning the game. That is why everyone must try to pick darker cloths, as they blend much easily into the shadows and d
Unless you are a top tier player in shooting games, dropping further away from “hot” areas is probably the safest course of action for survival. This will allow a player to find strong or average gear and weapons without the threat of an enemy player’s pressure. There is one main technique that can keep players away from the hot zones of P
Now, however, multiplayer has evolved into something that even those who have never picked up a controller have a better understanding of. Games like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds have captured the imagination of the world and fused victorious phrases like “winner winner, chicken dinner” into popular culture’s colloquiali
Dead by Daylight proved horror multiplayer games still had legs in 2016, and Friday the 13th: The Game kept the momentum going in 2017. Gun Media’s faithful preservation of the Friday the 13th horror aesthetic was met with near-universal praise, and while server issues and a choppy launch dulled the luster of Friday the 13th: The Game a little, it still made its way onto most gamers’ playlists at some po
PUBG Story guide has brought a whole new meaning to the word sterile. Even today the game looks like an earlier edition of Call of Duty that was stripped down to it’s barest of bones. The only personality it has that comes to mind is the iconic level three helmet and the frying pan, but there’s not much more than t
In the world of esports, few teams are as prolific as Cloud9. Founded in 2013, Cloud9 has teams in all of the hottest competitive games, from League of Legends and Hearthstone to Overwatch and Counter-Strike: Global Offensi
Even if we compare the OG maps from these two games it’s a bit of a toss up as to which is the winner. Sure Fortnite has Tilted Towers, but PUBG has School; and in case you don’t play the latter, School is a place where half of the lobby’s players drop resulting in a massacre that leaves only one or two survivors who are barely clinging to life. But that’s just the OG maps, PUBG now has four unique maps, all of which are just as good as the original in their own rights. Fortnite is finally making an alteration to it’s original map, so there’s not much competition h
Ian Huston: The most tangible differences in favor of PUBG on PC/console against its mobile counterpart are the controls facilitating easier aiming. However, the infrastructure of mobile has been way ahead of the PC/console versions with its skins and ranking system. Honestly speaking, there is no need to play the game differently and all of the strategies are able to be executed without any compromi
But player counts don’t mean everything, and if we’re still talking numbers, than PUBG mobile’s player count of 400 million truly takes the cake. Statistics finally aside, it’s time to tackle the meat and potatoes of these two games and decide which one is a truly battle royale k
Fortnite on the other hand reeks of personality, so much so that they were even able to thread a story through all of it’s themes. Despite not having reality breaking graphics, it’s still just such a fun game to look at and play, and that’s a testament to the st
Perhaps the most contentious pick on this list, Destiny 2 hasn’t really been seen as a multiplayer game in the same sense as the rest of the titles in this article. Despite the PvP elements of Bungie’s follow-up effort to Destiny remaining as polarizing as ever, though, there’s no disputing that Destiny 2 is one of the most successful multiplayer games of the y
There’s a misconception about professional video game competitors, that they don’t work hard like other athletes, that playing video games isn’t comparable to traditional sports like baseball and basketball. Do you think that unjust perception will change? E-Sports on ESPN was a big step, I think, but what do you think is the next step in E Sports’ march towards the mainstr
