Key Takeaways
- One year after the launch of the branding strategy, the PCA name will return.
- PokerStars is facing stiffer competition in the live event space.
- The European Poker Tour is also rumored to be returning.

This surprise change is the first reversal of an ambitious—and risky—rebranding strategy that the company embarked on in late 2016, which involved axing the famous PCA and the European Poker Tour (EPT) names for all-new Championship and Festival titles.
