One of those trendy regions in Pakistan, and the excitement within Pakistani fans to see their team competing at the world stage has been tremendous. But things went rough when PUBG MOBILE was temporarily banned by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) ahead of the World League. Pakistani team “Free Style” was supposed to represent the country against best of the best in the World League East 2020 from 10th July alongside 19 other teams. But after the ban notice from PTA, the team’s appearance in the competition is in question.
Team Free Style has released an official statement about their view on the decision. They added, “This the first time in history that Pakistan is being represented in PUBG Worldwide and this is how our government gives back. Instead of working on the larger issues in the country, they were threatened by a mobile game. We will join hands with others and try to overcome this decision and fight for our rights, whether it requires requesting PTI or going to the high court. Just so we Pakistan has a chance to take its gaming community further and make its name in eSports“. For the latest updates from the organization itself, follow freestyle_pakistan on Instagram.
Although the ban is temporary and the future of this ban is yet to be decided, PUBG Mobile has decided to not interfere in this case and wait for Govt’s final decision.
