YG is a great team with a long history, but they do not deserve auto-invite to PUBG Mobile Regional Clash this season. KE, placed first in APAC and by rights should represents ASIA PACIFIC region this season.
This is a bigger issue than just one tournament. Spots at tournaments like this should be earned not given; just like how THM region earned their 5 slots in APAC, Cambodia earned their 5 slots in APAC, Myanmar earned their 5 slots in APAC and so on so forth. If auto-invited practice is not taken seriously, what do we even play for? Spending 6-10 hours a day or even more for this opportunity but given to a team simply because of the popularity or because of past achievements, we live in the present.
I want to speak to all countries and all regions, make it known to PUBG Mobile and other esports scenes that we fight everyday for months just for these few opportunities per year. Organization owners spend thousands and tens of thousands for these chances. Players commit thousands of hours to have these opportunities. Fans always supporting us because they believe in a fair selection process.
I have nothing against YG and the Myanmar people, in fact as an official caster in Cambodia I have always praised YG as the King of Wild Card in the past in almost all Livestream with YG presents. But YG performance in the last 2 seasons alongside other Cambodia and THM teams fall short of the best, they are going through some changes. Let PUBG Mobile know we are all equal, regardless of Organization size or popularity. A better team deserves their chance, in this case the slot should go to KE Team from Cambodia.
We hope the tournament organizer reconsider their decision. And especially we hope PUBG MOBILE will guide and gives attention to these challenges that is effecting a fair selection process.
