All events this year apart from the Nations Cup will lead towards qualifying to the PUBG Global Championship.

PUBG Global Series (PGS) is making a return with four separate events, each of them rewarding points toward qualifying for PGC. Each PGS has 300k in prize funds guaranteed. The regional qualifiers for each region will combine for 14 teams plus an additional 10 guaranteed seeds for partner teams.

Theoretically a team can qualify for PGC without even qualifying for PGS events by just earning points in each regional event.

PUBG Global Series events get the following seed allocation:

  • APAC – 4 Seeds
  • Korea – 3 seeds
  • Americas – 3 seeds
  • China – 2 Seeds
  • EMEA – 2 Seeds

APAC is the “winningest” of the regions in terms of seeds allocation through qualifiers. Keep in mind EU and China already have three partner teams each and APAC has none. We are waiting for Krafton to announce the final two partner teams for this season.

Currently we have: 17 Gaming, 4AM, Petrichor Road, Gen.G, NAVI, FaZe Clan, Twisted Minds, and Soniqs.
