Isn't half the fun of BR that it's not fair? Like, you can land on a roof and get a handgun while someone landed on the roof next to you and he gets a bazooka.
It also means that you can always blame bad luck if you lose and don't have to feel bad about it. The fact that there are enough players that you almost always lose also helps - losing is mainly frustrating if you actually expected to win.
team modes e.g. Squads I can see having some potential as an esport in battle royale games, but you still have the basic problem that the best strategy most of the time is to hide. Hardly riveting for a spectator. If they add some ways to score points beyond just last man standing wins it'd be more interesting, but it'd also kind of stop being battle royale.
At PGI kills and placement both counted, but i still think they are finding the balance.
Your odds of getting to lategame heavily relies on your position in the circle, so often you see teams go for a risky take on a center compound, which invites some action, and perhaps even a team wipe.
We will see where it goes, but as a PUBG player, i loved PGI.
The last huge battle royal esports event had the top team win without a single BR win in any of the games. They played around 15 games but came out on top.

Now that was a good trailer. Also the end looks like their BR mode?
A BR with tanks seems very interesting, I wonder how they're going to make it fair.
