Tencent reveals new point system for PEL 2022 Season

Commencing from March 4, 2022, Peacekeeper Elite League (PEL) 2022 Spring is China's most prestigious professional league for the title Game for Peace (rebranded version of PUBG Mobile). In 2021, a total of four editions took place, which has been reduced to only two seasons this year. Apart from that, Tencent has made major changes to the points system. Let's take a look at the new points table.

Points Distribution of PEL 2022 Season

1st Place- 10 points

2nd Place- 6 points

3rd Place- 5 points

4th Place- 4 points

5th Place - 3 points

6th Place - 2 points

7th Place- 1 point

8th Place- 1 point

9th to 15th Place- 0 points

As clearly seen above, Tencent has reduced the importance of placement points in comparison to previous seasons. In 2020, a winning team would receive 15 placement points, which was further reduced to 12 in 2021. However, from 2022, the winning team will only be awarded 10 points.

Being in second-place, which used to give 12 points in 2020 and 10 points in 2021, will now reward the team with only six points. Furthermore, placement points will only be awarded till the eighth position.

In previous PEL seasons, the 12th to 15th ranked teams would be awarded no points, but this time, the 9th to 15th ranked team will be awarded 0 points.

In addition to these changes, a kill in the first two circles will now earn a team two points. This new meta will change teams' playstyles to be far more aggressive.
