PUBG Qualifies For NPL Phase One

After a grueling week of competition, eUnited PUBG soared to the top of the leaderboards during preseason play at OGN Studios.

In order to qualify for the National PUBG League, eUnited had to place in the top-16 out of 32 contending teams. After playing 12 matches, eUnited managed to rack up two victories and rank third highest in team kill points en route to a fifth place finish. Taylor “TaylorJay” Johnson had 30 kills, which was second highest individual performance in the pool play portion of the competition.

In the grand finale, which consisted of the 16 qualified pro teams competing for a $100,000 prize pool, eUnited couldn’t get any momentum started, finishing in last place.

The first phase of the NPL, which will take place at OGN Studios in Manhattan Beach, Calif. is set to begin later this month.
