This week was busy in the farming world of esports with a new title creating a professional league. PUBG Corp. also decided to start sharing out some chicken dinners with participating teams in competitions too.
Farming Simulator gets its own esports league
Farming Simulator is going big by joining the esports scene. The simulation game has been used in tournaments before, but now it's going to have its very own professional esports league, as reported by PC Gamer. The developer is launching the league with a prize pool of €250,000.
The move will also see some changes be applied to Farming Simulator 19. According to the official announcement, bale stacking will be replaced by a more competitive 3 vs 3 mode, tasking teams to challenge one other to determine who is best on the field.
Will the esports audience welcome farming into the fold, allowing this league to grow? Will we finally witness some sick "no scope corn shots"? Only time will tell.
PUBG sharing some of the chicken dinners
PUBG Corp. announced the developer will introduce a profit-sharing program for North American (NPL) and European (PEL) teams with branded store items. This additional revenue is believed to be ideally suited for covering the cost of housing and travel. This will be implemented when phase two of the competitive season kicks off in April, as reported by Fox Sports Asia.
25 percent of the earnings will be passed to teams, allowing the developer to bolster the amount of money available to participants. Good news for organization management teams.
