New Points System for PUBG Mobile Club Open

The new PMCO point system has been adopted to promote and favour aggresive gameplay. Kill points now have their weight in gold and no team can go far ahead in the standings just on the basis of placement points.

Teams to look out for

Team Orange Rock: This team has taken the Indian PUBG community by storm. The team is made up of former Indian Tigers members, Carry and Mavi, who are well supported by Ex1stence and Sandhu.

This team topped the group stages of South Asia and look primed to serge ahead in the semifinals too. The new point system will also favour them as they are aggressive as they come.

Team Entity: Another very aggressive team consist of two of India's best assaulters in Neyoooo and Jonathan. It is well led by Ghatak and if they remain consistent, they can easily top the table.

Team Soul: It is the defending champion and has plenty of experience in LAN tournaments. It is also the most popular team among the masses as it consist of Mortal, who is India's biggest PUBG mobile star. 

Soul has changed its roster and is beginning to come into its own. New additions, Regaltos and Clutchgod are turning the tables with their aggressive game play and they will sail through given the caliber of players and the huge support they are going to get in the arena.

Team Fnatic: This is also a newly built team and, which consist of two former Soul members in Ronak and Owais. Fnatic is led by Scout, who is a brilliant assaulter and strategist.

This team can spring a surprise in the semi-finals and may well come out on top if they remain consistent over the course of the event.

Some other teams which can turn the tide and rise to the occasion are Team MegaX, Team INS, TeamIND and Team 8 Bit.
