To quote the text in the tweet
[PUBGM] Many Indonesian Fans were upset regarding RRQ’s lack of promotion for PUBGM.
- No post was made on the main RRQ account
- The players have no Jerseys in this picture or even matching outfits (no interest?)
- RRQ has posted minimum content on its PUBGM account.
For starters, PUBGM introduces a Partnership league PMSL replacing SEA Champs, works same as VCT by 15 partnered teams + each national league winner as a non-partner.
The league originally start as requiring $500K buyin but they changed to VCT-styled partnership with no fees. Partnered teams has a ranking that determines how much incentive each team gets based on how well they did both in-season and their social marketing game so its kinda encouraging to "Promote your team, and you get more cash".
EDIT: In case you were curious how many teams got partnered = https://liquipedia.net/pubgmobile/PUBG_Mobile_Super_League/Southeast_Asia/2023/Spring#Participants
