Team Liquid's Ibiza Explains Incredible Smoke Grenade Play At TPP PGI 2018

The PUBG Global Invitational has produced some magnificent moments so far, such as Gen.G Gold rotating way back into the storm to stay alive and avoid engagements, Ninja getting a kill on Shroud, then Ninja also teamkilling JoshOG with a grenade. In the sixth round of TPP, Team Liquid’s Jord ‘Ibiza’ van Geldere was isolated in the second half of the game and with Ghost Gaming all around him, he pulled off an incredible smoke grenade play to stay alive. Watch it for yourself below:

In the press conference after the TPP tournament had finished and Team Liquid came in second, Ibiza was asked about what was going through his head when it happened. “I knew I had 8 smokes and I was already like ready to do it,” Ibiza explained. “I knew people were running around me as well, so I was kind of scared to be honest. At one point Prophie was right next to me as well, and he shot me so I don't know, I just did it."

The FPP tournament kicks off today and after such a strong showing in TPP, Team Liquid are one of the favourites to take home the gold this weekend. Gen.G Gold have been phenomenal so far, taking first place in both TPP and the Charity Showdown event so they’re going to be hard to beat. As are Welcome To South Georgo who claim they didn’t practice TPP whatsoever before the event but still managed to take third - it’s a scary prospect thinking about how well they’ll do for the gamemode they’ve actually practiced for.

If you missed the Charity Showdown match, one of the highlights was Ninja killing Shroud - you can check that out here, or read up on our interview with Ibiza after the first day of TPP.
