Introduction of VizBG
PlayerUnknown Battlegrounds (PUBG) has been an extremely popular game globally
since last year. We are just two of the millions of fans of the game. We decided
to make some cool visualizations based on some gameplay data.
The game is an online multiplayer battle royal game, where 100 random players are
dispersed from a plane to an isolated island to fight and kill. From the first moment
of players’ landing, they move around in this space to pick up weapons and supplies so that
when they meet other players they are in a better shape to fight. As time goes by in the game,
the arena shrinks which forces the players to enter a smaller space and fight.
Intuitively, the last player stays alive is the winner.
Below is a map from the game to give you some sense of the rules.
The circle is where players are allowed to move without causing any damage.
Choosing your next position is very important in this game.
The biggest motivation of this project is to learn from the player behavior and
understand the strategy players adopt.
We were glad to find the data we needed from kaggle.
This public kaggle dataset contains information about 720,000 competitive matches
extracted from pubg.op.gg, a game tracking website.
Please feel free to explore the visualization tabs to interact with the data!
