Brendan Greene
Nothing promotes your upcoming major eSports event more than saying you are "not eSports ready." But that seems to be precisely how Brendan Greene, the creator of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, feels. This comes just as the PUBG Global Invitational is kicking off in Berlin, Germany.

Greene was asked what the PUBG Corp was doing to ensure that the game is ready for a major eSports tournament.
Greene says “it’s something I’ve always said - we’re not esports ready, and we’ve never said we’re esports ready.” Greene goes on to say that the Invitational “is really an experiment with the format and the way we will spectate it.”

He then goes on to clarify what he meant by the game and the company not being eSports ready just yet.
“We really want to stabilize the platform. We have to make the game competitive, and that means getting all those nitty-gritty bugs out and all the quality of life improvements that the players want, so we may add new features and add new functionality to the game.”

This comes about a day after the company announced a five-year plan for PUBG eSports. PUBG Corp CEO Changhan Kim said that 2018 will be the year in which the company lays the foundation for the PUBG eSports scene. 2019 will see the launch of regional leagues and then eventually a world championship.
