PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has had a rough ride in the esports scene. Despite lofty ambitions and early large-scale tournaments, PUBG has hit many a speed bump with its professional scene over the years, forcing the company to overcome and adapt.

By honing in on the things that matter, PUBG Corp has helped breathe new life into the scene. A online league, known as the PUBG Continental Series, now plugs the gap left by COVID-19 and it's working. So to understand the method behind the madness and the process of the last couple of years, we sat down with PUBG esports project manager Michael Sung, the man who's been leading the charge in South Korea for the last two years.
