About HARD
HARD's tournament history showcases a mix of strong performances and mid-table finishes. Early on, they placed 12th at the PUBG Continental Series: Charity Showdown - North America, earning $2000. Later successes included a victory at the Spark Series Season 1, while other notable placements include 11th at PCS Series 3 NA ($4000) and 21st at PCS Series 4 AM ($500). They also participated in ESL Masters 2021 NA Spring and the DreamHack Winter Showdown America, though without securing a prize position in the latter. Their overall tournament record demonstrates a team capable of strong performances but inconsistent results.
The core of Houston Hardshifts consisted of a stable roster of approximately 6 players over their existence, including notable names like Meluke, Jsank, Chubba, Lobes, DTreats, and FarmerBilly. While the initial roster comprised Meluke, Jsank, Chubba, and Lobes, the team ultimately disbanded and currently doesn't have an official lineup. The consistent presence of a small group of players suggests a strong team dynamic, despite the fluctuating tournament success.
In terms of rankings, HARD's performance was more consistent in the regional (North America) rankings than globally. They achieved a peak regional ranking of 4th place and fluctuated between the top 10 and 13th place. Globally, their highest ranking was 51st, achieved multiple times, with their lowest ranking at 57th. Both their global and regional rankings show they were a mid-tier team in the highly competitive North American PUBG scene, but one with glimpses of significant potential. The team is no longer actively ranked as of the provided data.
