With the advent of the PUBG Mobile craze in India and tournaments with huge prize-pools, everyone is now busy honing their skills and reaction time. Most of the youth in India are seen either fighting in Erangel or crawling in the grass of Sanhok.
However, only a handful of players are playing the game at a competitive level and earning through it. Here in this article we will talk about the essential steps that one needs to take before becoming an e-sports athlete.
Control
Equal importance has to be given to the mechanical aspect of the game to move ahead in its field. A popular belief is that the claw control setup has the upper hand in relation to the thumb setup.
However, players like Jonathan and Viper seem to be breaking this trend by playing on the thumb setup. Today many professional PUBG Mobile players have felt the need to switch to the gyro which effectively allows you to control your long range spray better.
So if you want to become a professional, mastering the gyro should be on your bucket list.
defined roles
It is important to note that PUBG Mobile is a multiplayer battle royale game, so a lot of your success depends on your team’s performance as well. In creating a ‘we’, it is important to integrate all the diverse groups.
A team must set a defined role for itself – attacker, supporter, leader and a sniper. Attitudes need to be developed over a long period of time and are quick to encourage and reward good teams, while eliminating misbehavior early on.
A popular mistake that many budding players make is that they get too greedy for the kill. Killing is important, but it is far more important to survive. So first assess the situation with a clear mind, find out your enemies before running.
Scopes
Always use a red dot, holographic or 2x for close combat, and 4x, 6x or 8x for sprays and sniping. Using a higher scope in close combat will likely result you in getting killed. The most preferable gun for close combat is UZI and AKM while for sprays you can use M4 with 6x (adjust it to 3x).
use of smoke and grenades
A professional player needs to know his utilities to use them to the maximum potential. Grenades are a good way to knock down your opponents without exposing yourself. It can wipe out the entire squad if they are too close to each other.
The safest way to throw a grenade in PUBG is to press and release it immediately, holding it for about 3 seconds after pulling the pin will make it very difficult for your enemies to react to the grenade.
On the other hand, it’s better to use smoke grenades to block your opponents’ sight while reviving your teammates or looting the crate.
Take multiple vehicles
Having multiple cars gives a huge advantage. You can eliminate the risk of getting sprayed down by your opponents or getting killed by a car burst, by rotating in a two different vehicles. If the end zone is in an open field, you can pop the tires and use the cars to your advantage by making a cover for yourself.
take cover
Another important thing to keep in mind is to never commit yourself and expose your situation. In TPP mode, players get a 360-degree view and it’s important to take full advantage of it.
When running freely, be aware that your opponents have the TPP advantage over you and can easily knock you down. So take a good cover like a tree or a rock before joining the fight.
Don’t just lie in a piece of grass or shrubbery, as you can become an easy target. As in the previous two circles, crawling becomes useful in the late games.
learn the game
The role of the In Game Leader (IGL) becomes important when you are playing a multiplayer game. Call him about the drop location, rotation, when to join the fight or when to fall back.
A leader is really one who is more experienced and his calls are expected to be accurate. As the circle closes, he has to decide whether to hold the center or play the edge of the circle, depending on the position of play.
be social
It is fun to play pubg mobile with your friends. So in order to grow in this field, it is important to take a leaf out of their book by meeting and playing with experienced players.
watch and learn
Watch other professional players while you stream. This is one of the best ways to get better at the game. Check out Mortal’s gameplay for his ability to keep himself calm in difficult moments, and all guns and Daljitsk for his ability to hold your nerve, ScoutOP, to learn sniping.
