Other than the collab with Blackpink, PUBG Mobile is also getting one with Mountain Dew. “The Dew” will arrive on Sept. 22. Tencent hasn’t confirmed what will be coming with this collaboration either. The announcement teased that Mountain Dew vending machines could be added to PUBG Mobile.

PUBG Mobile could add Mountain Dew vending machines
They could be coming on Sept. 22.
Screengrab via Tencent
PUBG Mobile announced a collaboration with the soft drink brand, Mountain Dew yesterday. “The Dew” will arrive on Sept. 22.
While it wasn’t revealed what will come with this partnership, the announcement video shows a character zooming into a Mountain Dew vending machine on the Erangel map. This could be a hint that they will be added to the game.
Vending machines were previously a part of PUBG Mobile. In the 0.18.0 update last May, the Miramar 2.0 map was added. One of the main highlights of this map were vending machines. These were randomly situated on the map and players could use them to get up to eight energy drinks.
This isn’t the first time Mountain Dew is tying-up with PUBG Mobile. The soft drink brand was the sponsors of the first season of the PUBG Mobile Pro League (PMPL) South Asia. It was also the “official beverage” of the PUBG Mobile World League (PMWL) season zero. This is perhaps the first time, however, Mountain Dew is getting an in-game collaboration.
[bad iframe src]
Besides Mountain Dew, PUBG Mobile also recently announced a major collaboration with the K-pop girl group Blackpink. No details regarding what will be coming from this were revealed either.
Tencent recently released version 1.0 of PUBG Mobile which has been keeping players hooked to season 15 of the game. The version added New Erangel, a new UI, and gave the game significant graphical upgrades. With the Blackpink and Mountain Dew collaborations, it seems players have a lot to look forward to in this season.

[bad iframe src]
PUBG Mobile’s season 15 ushered the game into a new era. Beyond A.C.E was preceded by the version 1.0 update, which completely changed the battle royale game.
[bad iframe src]
PUBG Mobile’s version 1.0 brought in the New Erangel map, also called Erangel 2.0. Players had been waiting for over a year for the revamped version of the classic map to release. The new map got a graphics update, along with new buildings, elements, and more.
The season began on Sept. 14 and will go on for two months. PUBG Mobile’s season 15 will end on Nov. 15. Players can expect the season 16 content update around this time with the Royale Pass (RP) 16 beginning soon as well.
Thus, players have until mid-November to complete all 100 tiers in the Royale Pass 15. For elite Royale Pass holders, tier 100 will reward them with the Samurai Ops outfit and headgear. Once the season ends, all RP points, unused RP upgrade cards, RP cards, and RP mission cards will expire.
There is still a lot of season 14 left, though. Version 2.0 of the Payload mode is dropping later in the season. The mode will have new items, vehicles, weaponry, and more. A new mode for Halloween, called the Infection mode, will also go live on Oct. 23. In addition to the new mode, the Cheer Park will also receive some features to mark Halloween. This includes the Cheer Park Extreme Arena and Cheer Park Halloween. Players have to fight waves of monsters in these.

PUBG Mobile confirms collaboration with Blackpink
Tencent had been teasing the collaboration for a few days.
PUBG Mobile has revealed a collaboration with popular K-pop girl group Blackpink.
Tencent had been teasing the partnership for a few days on PUBG Mobile’s social media handles and has finally confirmed it. The announcement showed all four members of the band, Kim Ji-soo, Jennie Kim, Roseanne Park, and Lalisa Manoban sitting on a completely pink New Erangel. No details regarding what will come out of this collaboration were revealed.
This isn’t the first time a tie-up between the band and the battle royale game has happened. In July, Blackpink’s song “Playing with Fire” was added to the game. Players could hear the song playing in certain locations of PUBG Mobile’s maps. The present collaboration will likely be a lot bigger given how Tencent has been hyping-up the announcement for the past few days.
Last year, PUBG Mobile partnered with British-Norwegian DJ Alan Walker. As part of this, the song “On My Way” could be heard in PUBG Mobile a day before its global release. Walker also performed at the PUBG Mobile Club Open (PMCO) spring split global finals in Berlin, Germany and participated in a showmatch. He also partnered with the game for another song, “Live Fast.”
Players will likely find out what to expect from PUBG Mobile’s and Blackpink’s collaboration soon.

League of Legends: Wild Rift progression, matchmaking, ranking system and more revealed
A lot of other features have also been added.
Image via Riot Games
Riot Games revealed a lot of details regarding the ranked system, matchmaking, and in-game changes of League of Legends: Wild Rift during a dev diary yesterday. The dev diary also announced the regional closed beta for certain Southeast Asian countries.
The closed beta will go on for a few weeks following which a wider release of Wild Rift can be expected. Players can pre-register for the game on the official website and the Google Play Store to get notified when that happens.
Related: League of Legends: Wild Rift first regional closed beta begins Sept. 16
Ranked system
The core of League of Legends is its ranking system. The ranking system in Wild Rift is a little different from its PC counterpart. Here is everything you need to know about it. Riot has said that this system could get changes if players don’t like it.
Rank tiers
The rank tiers of Wild Rift and League PC are similar with players having to advance from Iron to Challenger. An extra tier has been added to Wild Rift, however, called Emerald between Platinum and Diamond. This has been added to “distribute players more accurately.”
Screengrab via Riot
Hence the tiers in Wild Rift are Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Emerald, Diamond, Master, Grandmaster, and Challenger.
Each tier has several divisions through which players have to advance to rank up. Below Master, every tier has four divisions.
Rank systems
There are two types of ranked systems in Wild Rift. One uses ranked marks which is followed in the lower tiers. The higher tiers have the victory point system.
Ranked Marks
To advance in the tiers between Iron and Emerald, ranked marks are used. Every win will grant players a ranked mark while a loss will remove one.
To advance within a division of a tier, up to five ranked marks are required. In lower tiers, a lesser number of marks are needed.
Victory Point System
From Diamond to Challenger, the victory point system is followed which League fans are familiar with. Winning matches will grant players points that will enable them to move up the leaderboards.
Rank Fortitude
A big difference between Wild Rift and League PC’s ranking system is the addition of “rank fortitude” in the former.
Players will receive “fortitude” as they play matches. When this fortitude fills up, it will be used when a player loses a ranked match to protect them from loosing a ranked mark.
Screengrab via Riot
Riot has said this system has been implemented to provide players a “safety net” and not give an easy way to rank-up. A weekly cap on the fortitude system will be in place to prevent this from happening.
Matchmaking
Players can queue with up to four of their friends in Wild Rift. Riot has said that the system will always match groups with similar powers. It aims to provide the “fairest matchmaking possible.”
Progression
Riot wants Wild Rift to be “free to play friendly” and will offer a number of reasons to keep players who don’t spend money hooked to the game.
In the early levels, every new one will reward players with starter champions. Playing Wild Rift will also give players “Blue Motes” which can be used to purchase other champions. There will also be a free champion rotation.
Screengrab via Riot
Riot has said it won’t be offering exclusive paid champions, in-game stats boost or make champions really expensive. This is good news for MOBA fans on mobile as most of the games currently available in the market do this.
Wild Rift’s version of RP are “Wild Cores.” Players can purchase champions, skins, emotes, and other stuff through this. For free-to-play players, the “Poco coins” can be earned by playing matches. These coins can then be used to unlock cosmetic items like skins and emotes.
In-game changes
A lot of changes have been made to Wild Rift based on feedback from the alpha test back in June. The turrets, which players complained were too weak, have been adjusted. Some new features have also been added:
Semi-lock camera button: This setting will give players a button that can be used to adjust the camera a bit to get a better view.
New champions: Six new champions have been added to Wild Rift. These are Varus, Dr. Mundo, Amumu, Jarvan IV, Singed, and Sona.
Custom layouts: Players will be able to completely customize the layouts of buttons in Wild Rift as per their preference.
Screengrab via Riot
Aim Panning: Landing long-range skill shots will be easier with this feature. When this is turned on, the camera pans in the direction the player aims a long-ranged ability.
Global ultimates: Two key additions have been made to make it easier to use global ults. The ult will now aim from the center of the screen when a player uses a minimap to aim it. A tiny pop-up camera will also appear on the screen to make players aware of whether the ult landed or not.
