eSports is big in Thailand to the point that the country has spawned numerous teams and players who compete in various disciplines and make sure that their country is a known destination on the eSports map. It’s true, as Thailand has spawned some of the most capable gamers. Some 32 million in the country play video games today, and many do so competitively.

Thailand is a unique place as it focuses on both mobile and PC gaming, with some console gaming thrown into the mix for good measure. Regardless, you will be able to discover what makes gamers so successful and which games are those in which Thai players really excel. Let’s take a look at the available competitive titles for the country.

  • Arena of Valor
  • Dota 2
  • PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds

Arena of Valor

No other nation can say they have had similar success in Arena of Valor. Even though the game is popular in most of Southeast Asia and even the West, Thailand remains a leader when it comes to Arena of Valor. The top eight players in Arena of Valor from Thailand have won more than $1 million in the past three years, which makes them rich, and very successful at what they do.

Naturally, these successes have created opportunities for other gamers as well. Arena of Valor has spawned a very strong community within the country which drives teams and players to try their best at topping all available competitions to them. The game habitually runs annual tournaments with over $1 million in prize money.

In fact, the 2022 edition of the Arena of Valor World Cup is coming along with $10,000,000. This is a massive opportunity for Thai players to win, and they will definitely be trying. The initial date of the competition is set for October 2022, with no specifics yet released.

Dota 2

There is no game that is more generous in terms of payout potential to eSports players than Dota 2. And as such, you can imagine how the game has become an absolute hit in the region. Thai players are actually quite excited to be watching, playing, and even betting on Dota at places such as https://www.thaibets365.com.

DOTA 2

The Dota 2 community in the country is truly amazing, but Thai players have a long way to go until they can catch up with their Arena of Valor peers in terms of total amounts earned. For example, Thai players in AoV have over $1 million in prize pool won, whereas Dota 2 players have won closer to $500,000.

This has not stopped people from trying though, and there are many Thai teams that are trying to master the game and break onto the international scene. There are tons of actual stuff to try when you are looking to play Dota 2, and one of them is going up against some of the most accomplished teams from across the world. Thailand has a spot there.

Dota 2 is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game developed and published by Valve. The game is a sequel to Defense of the Ancients (DotA), which was a community-created mod for Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. Dota 2 is played in matches between two teams of five players, with each team occupying and defending their own separate base on the map.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is definitely a focal point of interest for eSports players in Thailand. The game, which is known as PUBG for short, has attracted steady interest from the locals. Most gamers in Thailand who compete in PUBG actually tend to do so from a PC setup, and PUBG is admittedly a little heavier when it comes to system specs.

Pubg Best Weapons

This means that there are generally fewer people in PUBG than there are in AoV, but this has not stopped them from achieving significant gains. In fact, players such as D2E, G9, and Senior are some of the most accomplished eSports players in Thailand and they have been able to pull this off by playing PUBG.

Apparently, there is a strong community in Thailand that enables such players to develop and reach their potential without any significant challenges. Players who are keen to get good at PUBG will be very happy to know that their home country is actually one of the top places to aspire to greatness in the game.

Other eSports Thai Players Excel At

There are other eSports in which Thai players are quite good. They will compete and excel at a range of other games as well, including but not limited to Garena Free Fire, Fortnite, and even FIFA. The long tradition of competitive gaming in the country has made it so that people can learn the ropes of the video games they like and be appreciated in numerous categories across the eSports gaming world.

PUBG PC has finally come out on Steam as a free-to-play game. Here's how you can redeem and download it, alongside various related details.]]>

After over 5 years of being a premium title, PUBG PC a.k.a PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has finally become a free-to-play game. This decision was announced in early December last year and has finally come into effect today. Previously, it would cost Rs.999 to purchase the game on Steam.

In this article, we are going to showcase how to redeem and play PUBG PC on Steam, alongside the reason why the game became free-to-play.

1. How to redeem and play PUBG PC

Firstly, you need to create a Steam account. This is completely free and only requires an email. Afterward, navigate to the PUBG store page by browsing for it on the search bar at the top left corner.

Just click on "Play Game" to download and play PUBG PC. You would need at least a mid-tier PC to run the game, as the system requirements of PUBG PC demand at least 8GB of RAM and 2GB of VRAM.

PUBG PC
The game was pretty demanding in 2017 but in 2022, these requirements are average.

Minimum System Requirements:

  • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
  • OS: 64-bit Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-4430 / AMD FX-6300

Playerbase
PUBG PC's player base is nowhere near as big as it once was.

<![CDATA[PUBG Lynx AMR Vs AWM: Will Lynx AMR Come To BGMI & PUBG Mobile?]]> https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/lynx-amr-vs-awm-pubg-pc-18818 Thu, 07 Oct 2021 11:11:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/lynx-amr-vs-awm-pubg-pc-18818
Let's compare the two powerful SRs Lynx AMR vs AWM and predict whether PUBG Lynx AMR will come to PUBG Mobile and BGMI or not.]]>

Lynx AMR is a new sniper rifle in PUBG PC. AWM is the legendary bolt-action sniper rifle in PUBG PC, PUBG Mobile, and BGMI with the highest base and headshot damage. Let's compare these two SRs and predict whether Lynx AMR will come to PUBG Mobile and BGMI or not.

PUBG Lynx AMR Vs AWM

After Lynx AMR was introduced in PUBG, the top position of AWM is threatened. Let's compare these two most powerful SRs in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds game in terms of damage, bullet velocity, ammo capacity, firing rate, and attachments here.

#1. Base Damage

Firstly, Lynx AMR has higher headshot damage and base damage than AWM.

Lynx's base damage is 153.4 and its headshot damage is 295. Meanwhile, AWM's headshot damage is 262.5 and its base damage is 136.5. Lynx is very powerful because it's designed to destroy vehicles in PUBG. You can explore a car with only 3 hits from this new SR, which AWM cannot do.

Lynx Has Higher Base Damage Than Awm
Lynx has higher base damage than AWM.

#2. Initial Velocity

The bullet velocity is a very important statistic of long-range weapons like Lynx and AWM. These sniper rifles need high initial bullet velocity in order that the bullet can fly farther with higher accuracy. AWM has the highest initial bullet speed in PUBG's arsenal which is up to 945m/s. It's higher than that of Lynx which is approximately 900m/s.

Therefore, AWM is better in long-range combat. However, their effective range equals which is 1km.

Awm Has Higher Bullet Velocity
AWM has a higher bullet velocity.

#3. Ammo Capacity

Limited ammo capacity is often a disadvantage of bolt-action SRs. The legendary SR AWM uses .300 Magnum ammo. It can hold 5-7 bullets per load. Lynx AMR uses .50 Caliber 12.7mm ammo. It 5 pre-loaded bullets per gun. After 5 shots, Lynx became useless because you cannot reload bullets for this gun. You have to throw it away because you cannot fight with a weapon without ammo.

Obviously, AWM surpasses Lynx AMR in this criterion.

Awm Has Larger Ammo Capacity
AWM has a larger ammo capacity.

#4. Firing Rate

PUBG Mobile and PUBG PC players all know that AWM and other legendary bolt-action SRs need to load a bullet after each shot and reload 5-7 bullets when the magazine is empty. Therefore, their rates of fire are pretty low.

However, PUBG Lynx AMR lets you tap consecutively like an Mk14 in PUBG Mobile although it has only 5 bullets per gun. Therefore, Lynx has a higher firing rate than AWM. Then, its damage per second (DPS) is also higher than that of AWM. It means that you can kill enemies faster with Lynx.

Lynx Has A Higher Rate Of Fire
Lynx has a higher rate of fire.

#5. Attachments

The new SR Lynx has only one attachment slot for a scope. This gun has a pre-equipped bipod. This new SR supports all types of scope, from the holo and red dot to 8x scope. AWM has more attachment slots for an SR magazine, a scope, a muzzle, and a cheek pad.

Sometimes, having too many attachment slots can be a disadvantage because you have to find enough attachments to make the weapon better. However, extended mag helps increase the ammo capacity for AWM.

Lynx Has A Pre Equipped Bipod
Lynx has a pre-equipped bipod.

#6. Handling & Weight

Both AWM and PUBG Lynx ARM have high recoil that makes their barrels choke up. Therefore, you need to readjust the aiming point after each shot. AWM is pretty longer than Lynx but it's lighter than the new SR. Thus, you can run faster when carrying AWM.

Will Lynx Come To BGMI?

Lynx AMR has arrived at PUBG PC in the recent update 12.1. It will not go to BGMI and PUBG Mobile right now. However, it might come to BGMI in the future because most of the PUBG PC weapons will be introduced in PUBG Mobile after that. The Light-machine gun MG3 is an example.

About Krafton's projects

Krafton is a relatively new company from South Korean, with their only successful title being PUBG and its mobile version. However, they are highly successful games, and the revenue generated by them is more than enough to fund other projects.

Pubg New State
PUBG New State is PUBG Mobile's sequel, set 30 years after the event of the first game.

They are working on a number of titles, most of them are PUBG-related, but there are also other spin-offs in the works, such as The Callisto Protocol, PUBG Cowboy, and Korean Witcher.

Callisto Protocol: Horror PUBG in Space?

The Callisto Protocol is a third-person survival horror game, with a release date scheduled in 2022. It is currently developed by a subsidiary of Krafton, Striking Distance Studios. The Callisto Protocol’s story takes set in the year 2320, which is around 300 years after the events of PUBG.

The story takes place on an off-world colony named Black Iron, which is stationed on Callisto, one of Jupiter’s moons. Due to the low levels of radiation, it seemed suitable for the human race to settle there and colonize. However, deep inside the colony lurks a terrible dark secret...

Callisto Protocol
The terrible dark secret is obviously these monsters

Overall, it is likely that this series is going to be very similar to Dead Space or the famous horror movie "The Thing", as Glen Schofield, co-creator of the Dead Space series, is working on the game.

Korean Witcher

This is probably a "niche project" that Krafton is working on. "Korean Witcher" is the nickname of their new RPG based on a 2003 Korean novel 'A bird that drinks tears'. The story centers around a "monster hunter" who kills and eats monsters, which has some similarities to the Witcher. The monsters in the games and the books are based on Korean Mythology, unlike the Witcher's monsters.

This is the only original project Krafton is working on that does not have any relation to the PUBG Universe.

Krafton The Bird That Drinks Tears
The main character of Krafton's new project, Korean "Geralt"

PUBG Cowboy

PUBG Cowboy or Project Cowboy is yet another PUBG spinoff. Originally, it is a PUBG custom game set on Miramar that solely used firearms from the Wild West. However, Krafton decided to make it a full-blown game after the project get expanded enough.

It is likely that this will be some sort of Cowboy game similar to Red Dead Redemption, but with survival gameplay similar to DayZ. In PUBG you can only use some Western weapons like pistols and the Win94, but in PUBG Cowboy, pistols, bolt-action rifles, knives, bows, and arrows are all possibilities.

#10 Grand Theft Auto V – 184,941 (Steam Only)

Seven years after its launch, Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto V is still going strong. It stands among the world’s most-played games and occasionally finds itself among the top 10 best-selling games of the month.

Gta 5 Premium
No franchise can come close to what GTA has achieved.

#9 Apex Legends – 228,439 (Steam Only)

Next stop, Respawn’s Apex Legends popped out of nowhere to take the Battle Royale genre by storm. The game proved itself to be a formidable opponent to PUBG and Fortnite. Recently, Apex Legends made a move to Steam, further increasing its popularity.

#8 PUBG – 458,778

With 458,778 players online concurrently, PUBG surely still can put up a fight against titles. Released in 2017, PUBG has completely changed the face of the Battle Royale genre. And ever since, despite the fierce competition of new titles coming out every year, the game held on strong to its number 1 spot.

Pubg
Think Battle Royale, think PUBG!

The portable version of the game, PUBG Mobile has reaped even more success, boasting an incredible player base and Esports scene. It deserves the 8th spot in our list of the best games in 2021 by players.

#7 Valheim – 502,387

Valheim may still be in Early Access, but it's definitely one of 2021’s biggest success stories. The game offers a standard survival vibe, where players start with nothing, then start gathering resources to unlock better tools and weapons. However, Valheim really did a fantastic job in creating a brooding wilderness and the emergent gameplay.

Valheim
Valheim was a nice surprise to have in 2021.

#6 Dota 2 – 648,875

Though the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena genre is not growing as strong as it used to do, it's definitely not dying. Take DOTA 2 as the prime example. Over the past 12 months, the game consistently sits at around half a million concurrent players. Then it hits the peaks of 648,875 earlier 2021.

Dota 2
The MOBA genre is still going strong!

#5 Counter-Strike: GO – 1.2 Million

As far as 2021 goes, it only proves one thing that the FPS is here to stay. Though the numbers have been off slightly, CS:GO still peaked at 1,198,581 players. Since the franchise first debuted in the 1990s, CS:GO was the first one to maintain such a strong Esports presence and reputation. And now as players can purchase CS:GO for free, it will be a long time until it steps down.

Csgo
CS:GO shoots its way to number 5.

#4 Minecraft – 1.4 Million

Minecraft surely has a way to attract new players. Initially released in 2009, the juggernaut has been steamrolling through charts to become the best-selling game of all time. You can hardly scroll through YouTuber Gaming without spotting a Minecraft video every now and then.

Minecraft
Of course, we don't need to introduce Minecraft anymore.

#3 Crossfire – 8 Million

Believe it or not, Crossfire, a Counter-Strike clone, made it to the top three of our top 10 games in the world 2021. This game is huge in Korea, and its main player counts come from there. However, it’s set to make its mark over in the West soon. The game developer, Smilegate Entertainment, recently struck a deal with Microsoft to release a new version of Crossfire onto Microsoft platforms exclusively in 2021.

#2 League of Legends – 8 Million+

In the 2nd spot, MOBA has yet another representative as League of Legends closes in with massive numbers. According to the developer Riot Games, almost 8 million players join the Field of Justice every day.

It's no surprise when League of Legends World tournament often ranks in top most popular esports tournaments in the world.

Lol
League of Legends' success can be credited to a talented team of music producers and animators.

#1 Fortnite – 12.3 Million

Love or hate Fortnite, it surely is one of the biggest video games out there. On top of that, Epic Games’ Battle Royale game is somewhat revolutionary, as it redefines the meaning of building and supporting a successful “live” service-style video game.

Fortnite
The first place belongs to Fortnite.

The 12.3 million player peak was achieved during the Astronomical Concert when people flocked to watch Travis Scott debut his new single.

<![CDATA[Tips And Tricks To Help You Use PUBG Mobile Over The Shoulder (OTS) Mode]]> https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/how-to-use-pubg-mobile-ots-mode-16976 Thu, 13 May 2021 08:09:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/mobile-games/how-to-use-pubg-mobile-ots-mode-16976
PUBG Mobile 1.4 introduces a new feature called Over The Shoulder (OTS) mode, a shooting mode that adds an aiming mechanic to the classic Battle Royale game.]]>

PUBG Mobile has rolled out its latest 1.4 update on 11 May, featuring the Godzilla Vs. Kong theme. Along with various changes and the Titans themselves, this update also introduces a new feature called Over The Shoulder (OTS) mode. It is an interesting shooting mode that adds an aiming mechanic to the classic Battle Royale game.

The OTS mode will zoom on your shoulder

What is the OTS Feature in PUBG Mobile?

The OTS feature in PUBG Mobile can only be activated in the third-person perspective (TPP). Think of it as an upgrade of the old ADS (Aim Down Sight) feature.

When the player switches to the OTS mode, the camera will zoom to the character’s shoulder. This gives better accuracy for fighting in close-range or tight spaces. However, this mode does restrict the character’s movement. You will notice a significant movement decrease compared to the normal ADS mode.

How to Toggle Over The Shoulder Mode in PUBG Mobile

Players can activate the Over The Shoulder mode when aiming in the Settings. Head to System Settings -> General Settings and toggle the OTS mode on or off in the Aim Features tab.

Activate Ots Mode
Toggle the OTS mode in Settings

When the mode is available, you will see an icon in the controls menu. By default, you will find it above the scope icon for quick access. Just like other controls, you can customize the OTS icon position/size to your liking.

Tips to Use the OTS Mode in PUBG Mobile

The OTS mode helps increase the hip fire aim without limiting the field of view as of Aiming Down Sight in tight spaces. However, you'll likely be standing still the whole duration of the fight due to the movement speed decrease.

Ots Mode Verion 1 4
Do mind the movement speed decrease while in OTS mode

Essentially, you're sacrificing movement speed to gain control of your aim and visibility. So, here what you want to do:

  • Only use the OTS mode when fighting in close range or tight spaces
  • Stand and deliver, don't waste too much time moving around or dodging, because you move slowly
  • Use power close-range weapons, such as shotguns, to finish the enemies quickly
