Deston Rise Event Pits Neymar Jr. vs PUBG Partners

The global soccer superstar will participate in-person in Paris and livestream the event with various in-person activities to influence the Deston Rise event challenges.

SAs part of Neymar Jr.’s continued partnership with KRAFTON, Inc.’s PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, the global superstar soccer player and his squad will participate in the ‘Deston Rise’ livestream event on August. 3rd, 2022 from 8:30 – 10 a.m. PDT that will measure the skills of his squad against several other PUBG Partners in the newly released Deston map. In addition to livestreaming the event on PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS’ official Twitch channel, Neymar Jr. will participate in various in-person activities to influence certain rules of the Deston Rise event challenges – such as which items Neymar Jr. can use and what items/gear other squads can or cannot use during the challenges.

Throughout the Deston Rise event, Neymar Jr. and his squad will participate in two separate challenges – “Neymar Jr.’s Squad versus Everyone: Lodge Defense” for two matches and “PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS BR Match” for one match. During the challenges, Neymar Jr. will be able to showcase his superior football skills to potentially change the course of the fights he encounters.

Neymar Jr.’s Squad vs Everyone: Lodge Defense

The first challenge will be Neymar Jr.’s squad against everyone and Neymar Jr.’s goal is to defend the Lodge point-of-interest (POI) in Deston. The challenge will be played in TPP with Neymar Jr.’s squad against seven other PUBG Partner player squads. Neymar Jr.’s squad will only be allowed to loot the Lodge POI and the goal is simple – defend the Lodge with at least one of the squad members alive. The challenge will run for two matches and below is a rundown of the rules:

  • Neymar Jr. and his squad will only be allowed to loot Lodge.
  • All other partner streamers are allowed to loot anywhere else in Deston.
    • The only weapons allowed are – 1) Melee, 2) Crossbow and 3) Pistols.
    • They have complete freedom to use tactical gears as well as health and boost items.
  • The Bluezone will be modified to be centered around Lodge.
  • There will be an in-person activity with a football goal that Neymar Jr. can use to spawn desired weapons/items at Lodge.

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS BR Match

The second and final challenge will incorporate the regular PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS battle royale format – but with a twist. Neymar Jr.’s squad and seven other PUBG Partner squads will drop into Deston with the below ruleset activated for one match:

  • Only Level 1 Gears (Helmet / Backpack / Vest) are to spawn in Deston.
  • The match observer with Sandbox Mode access will be able to manually grant Level 3 gear, as well as Self-AED to Neymar Jr. only.
  • An in-person activity with a football goal can be used by Neymar Jr. to handicap other PUBG Partner squads (i.e. what weapons/items not to use and to use).

Throughout the livestream, viewers watching the broadcast on the official PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS Twitch channel will have the chance to receive special rewards through a drawing done by Neymar Jr. and PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS. Be sure to tune into the Twitch channel on August 3rd, 2022 for your chance to win!
