The second edition of the prestigious Chinese tournament, Peacekeeper Elite Championship, aka PEC 2020, will start tomorrow, i.e., 14th November. It will be a two-day affair, ending on 15th November. The top 15 teams worldwide, including three Chinese sides, will battle it out for glory at the Oriental Sports Center, Shanghai.
The PEC 2020 was announced on 24th August, during the Tencent Esports Conference. The tournament boasts a massive prize pool of 12,000,000 Yuan/1,814,800 USD. The veteran Chinese organization, VSPN, will organize it.
PEC 2020 teams
Format, schedule, and prize distribution of PEC 2020
Format
The tournament will see eight matches being played over two days (four matches each day). The PEC 2020 will follow the standard PEL points distribution system when it comes to placement points, as listed below:
- 1st place: 15 points
- 2nd place:12 points
- 3rd place: 10 points
- 4th place: 8 points
- 5th place: 6 points
- 6th place: 4 points
- 7th place: 2 points
- 8th to 11th place: 1 point
- 12th to 15th place: 0 points
However, the process of awarding points based on kills is quite different. Each kill in the first and second zones will be awarded two points, while kills in all other zones will be awarded one point. This system is quite interesting, as it forces teams to take fights in the early stages of the game, thus providing more action to the viewers.
