Tencent has unveiled new airborne deployment rules for PEL 2021 Season 4 (Peacekeeper Elite League), China's premier PUBG Mobile tournament, known locally as Game for Peace. The season kicks off on October 21, 2021, with the league phase wrapping up on November 21, 2021. Finals are set for November 25-29, 2021, following the familiar format from prior seasons.
PEL pits 20 elite Chinese teams against each other to determine the top 15 finalists vying for the Champions Trophy. This season marks the close of 2021 competition, with top performers earning spots in the PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2021.
Key updates focus on airborne deployment, detailed below from our coverage of professional esports.
In each match, the flight path divides into three segments. Teams select a segment based on prior standings and must deploy from it. Failure to jump triggers automatic ejection, forcing diverse landing zones and preventing hot drops in the same area.

PEL mirrors PMPL structure with tweaks: 20 teams compete over two days of regular play. Top 5 advance directly to weekly finals (Super Weekends). The rest battle on Day 2, with top 10 joining them. After five weeks, the top 15 head to finals.
For PMGC 2021, the top two from PEL (via PEC points) qualify. Reigning PEL Season 3 champions Nova Esports lead the standings—can they dominate again?
