Hello PUBG Mobile community! We just wanted to clear a couple things up.
As is standard practice in many PUBG Mobile scrims, teams typically prefer to drop in specific locations for entire sessions. In this session, Tempo Storm repeatedly dropped Pochinki, while Boosted spent most of their time in Stalbar. However, late in the scrim session, Boosted decided to drop in Pochinki just for fun and not in an attempt to gain a competitive advantage. This, along with past incidents (which have been brought up with Boosted management), showed that Boosted wasn't taking the scrims as seriously as the rest of the teams scrimming. As a result, they were removed from the scrim.
For context, our manager Monica has been organizing scrims in NA for over a year, and always gives her all in doing so. We simply ask that all teams who join us do the same.
We want to be clear. This is not an issue of teams contesting Tempo Storm in a "claimed" location. We have a long history of contesting drop spots -- and having our spots contested -- and would never decry a team for trying to do the same. Take a look at our weeks-long battles with Cloud9 or Pittsburgh Knights for Pecado on Miramar, as an example. However, this is an instance where we felt that Boosted was not taking the competitive integrity of the scrim seriously. As PUBG Mobile is a battle royale title, it is enormously difficult to schedule scrims, and we expect each of the teams involved to play at the highest level possible.
That said, we are more than happy to welcome Boosted back to our scrims in the future, but we will hold them to the exact same level of commitment as we do for everyone else.
