Has Griffin passed Gen.G as the Kings of Korean PUBG?

Paperthin: I think in the Korean scene, Griffin has a SLIGHT edge on Gen.G, but Gen.G still is the better international team

Who do you think is the most underrated team entering the tournament?

Paperthin: I guess I have to say Team Curson. They shocked the world at the PCS Charity Showdown, and have continued to perform well in their region, despite being an amatuer team full of guys who have full-time jobs

Is Tianba the prohibitive favorite after their performance in a very similar lobby during the Charity Showdown?

Paperthin: I don’t think so. Tianba Gaming has been floundering in China since the Charity Showdown, and seems to have lost that explosiveness they showed. Whereas most of the Korean teams that were at that event played well in the Korea quaIifiers, so there seems to be more consistency there. And I from what I saw in the qualifiers, the Korean teams have learned a lot from the Charity Showdown and are adapting quickly.

If you had to pick one team from each region to pay attention to (Japan & TWHKMO, China, Korea) who would they be?

Paperthin: In Japan that would be Crest Gaming Xanadu, for Chinese Taipei it would be Team Curson, China would be LYG and Korea would be Element Mystic.

What is the best storyline going into this tourney, outside of the L-Stars last ride?

Paperthin: Oof, that’s tough. So many good ones to choose from! Can the Cinderella story continue for Team Curson? Can Crest Gaming Xanadu find success after not qualifying for a major event since PGI 2018? Is the new VSG roster the real deal?

Who do you think is going to win?

Paperthin: I am picking Griffin to win this. I think they learned a lot from the Charity Showdown, as it was their first big international event. It’s a team chock full of talent, with a smart and capable shot-caller in Asura, the explosive fraggers 2heart and Minsung, and the savvy support player 2tap. I think shaking off the nerves and disappointment of a poor finish at their first major and coming back to dominate the Korea qualifiers shows they have the skills and mental fortitude to take the next step.
