In a recent development, the 2023 South Asia Championship (SAC) Spring Finals, scheduled to take place from May 11 to May 14, have been postponed until further notice. The decision comes in light of the widespread connectivity issues faced by squads from Pakistan, with the aim of maintaining the integrity of the tournament and ensuring fair play for all participants.
The decision to postpone the finals was made after multiple players in Pakistan reported significant downtime and difficulties with their internet access. This unfortunate situation has necessitated the rescheduling of the tournament to guarantee a level playing field for all competitors.
Notably, the SAC Spring Finals hold great significance as the champion of the tournament qualifies for the prestigious PUBG Mobile World Invitational 2023. The delay in the finals will undoubtedly impact the participants' preparations and add an element of uncertainty to the overall competition.
Furthermore, Pakistan has experienced major internet connectivity issues across several cities, including Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi. The disruption in services has affected a large number of users in the country. This occurrence coincides with the arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan earlier on the same day.
An official from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) confirmed that mobile broadband services have been temporarily suspended throughout the country. The decision to suspend these services was reportedly made by the ministry of interior.
The situation has drawn significant attention, with numerous complaints flooding social media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Outage tracking website Downdetector.pk has recorded a substantial increase in reported issues, reflecting the widespread impact of the connectivity problems.
As the organizers and participants assess the situation, a new date for the SAC Spring Finals will be announced in due course. The focus remains on resolving the connectivity issues in Pakistan and ensuring a fair and competitive environment for all teams involved.
The gaming community and fans of the tournament eagerly await updates regarding the rescheduled finals, while hoping for a swift resolution of the internet connectivity problems faced by Pakistani players. They have informed that new date is to be announced soon
