Background
The Curse Trials and Curse Rivals are casted by Alex and Travis. Both Alex and Travis are employees of Curse, working on different teams internally for a number of years. The Curse Trials began as a pet project and grew from Alex and Travis' love for the game. The first five events hosted by Curse featured physical prizing, from trophies to branded Curse Trials apparel, the event didn't see cash prizepools until February of 2018 when the ban on significant cash prizepools was lifted by PUBG Corp.

Prizing
To-date the Curse PUBG Series has awarded over $50,000 in cash prizing to winners and has hosted every major gaming organization involved in PUBG.
