Tournament Ruling: Penalty for 17Gaming & Tianba Esports.
2024-12-16

Hello,

This is the KRAFTON | PUBG Esports Operations Committee.

During PGC 2024 Circuit 2 Day 2 Match 6, it was identified that 17Gaming and Tianba Esports exchanged drop spots through mutual agreement during the match.

After a thorough investigation conducted immediately following Match 6, we have reached the following conclusions:

  • Date: December 13th, 2024
  • Incident Match: PGC 2024 Curcuit 2 Day 2 Match 6
  • Teams Involved: 17Gaming, Tianba Esports
  • Penalty: 1 Warning (2-point deduction)
    • The deduction will be applied to each team’s first match of PGC 2024 Circuit 3.
    • Reason: Actions that could lead to match-fixing.


Relevant Regulation:

  • S.U.P.E.R. (Standard and Universal PUBG Esports Ruleset)
    • 4.3 Collusion, Teaming, and Match-Fixing
      • Sending or receiving signals or messaging to opposing competitors.
      • Match-fixing is defined as offering, agreeing, conspiring, or influencing the outcome of any match by means prohibited by law or these rules.
      • Determinations regarding collusion, teaming, and/or match-fixing are at the sole discretion of the administration, as is the appropriate punishment.

Details:

  • It was confirmed that the teams mutually agreed to exchange drop spots for strategic terrain-based advantages.
  • Such agreements during a match create circumstances that could result in critical issues like "match-fixing."

We emphasize that any similar incidents in the future will result in more severe penalties than those imposed in this case.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support for fair competition in PUBG Esports.
