What is the PUBG official tournament "PJS WINTER INVITATIONAL 2019"?

Recently, in Japan, arcade games centered around fighting games, rhythm games, and card games have become popular. Against this backdrop of gaming popularity, e-sports are gaining momentum in Japan, similar to overseas, and attention is also being focused on e-sports tournaments.

"PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS (PUBG)" is a battle royale game where up to 100 players survive until they are the “last one standing” using gear found around the map. Players engage in a survival competition, utilizing randomly placed weapons, vehicles, and gear within a shrinking safe zone. When the last surviving player is on screen, a message appears saying, "I won! I won! Dinner is a 'Donkatsu'!!" so players aim to achieve a 'Donkatsu'.

The "PJS WINTER INVITATIONAL 2019 (hereinafter, PWI2019)" hosted by DMM GAMES will take place on December 29 (Sunday) at the Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel, and it is a major offline tournament that concludes the "PUBG" official Japan league "PUBG JAPAN SERIES" for 2019. Additionally, the participation of a total of 16 teams with both popularity and skill from Japan and abroad, as well as the total prize pool of 10 million yen being paid by DMM GAMES, is currently a hot topic of discussion.
