PEL 2022 Spring Season: Teams, format, new point system, prize pool distribution, and more
The 2022 season of the Peacekeeper Elite League (PEL) will commence on 4 March. It is the ultimate tournament for Game for Peace (China's version of PUBG Mobile).
Some major changes have been made to the tournament, including a reduction of seasons to two and some alterations to the points system. Besides that, the event will now be played in TPP mode rather than FPP.
There will be five matches played daily, three each in Erangel and Miramar, and one each in Sanhok and Miramar.
The tournament will start with a pre-season from 4 to 6 March. The 21 teams will be split into three groups and compete in a round-robin format, after which the top six teams will progress to the Week 1 weekly finals, while the bottom fifteen will be relegated to the breakout.
1) Regular Season (10 March to 17 April): The six-week-long regular season will be played in two stages;
2) Playoffs (28 April to 8 May); The Playoffs will be played for eight match days.
3) Grand Finals: The top 15 teams will play the Grand Finals from 19 to 22 May. These sides will also be awarded headstart points based on their Playoffs results.
A win will fetch ten points instead of the earlier 12 points, which could change the playstyle towards being more aggressive.
The tournament boasts a massive prize pool of 4.3 million USD, spread across all the stages. It will be interesting to see how teams adapt to the new format and changes.
All eyes will be on the PMGC champion, Nova Esports, to see whether they will continue their domination.
