PUBG Global Series Qualification and Format Details

PUBG Corp revealed qualification and format details for the new PUBG Global Series. Introduced this past December, PUBG Corp is looking to create a solid and competitive series which will benefit the teams, players, and the scene.

In 2020, PUBG will host a total of 4 global events. After three PGS events, the PUBG Global Championship 2020 will mark the final event and determine the best PUBG esports team.

32 teams will compete at each tournament and the top four teams will automatically qualify for the next event in line. The other 28 teams will qualify through regional qualifiers.

Each tournament will have three stages: Group Stage, Elimination Stage, and Grand Finals. The tournament will run for nine days. The top 12 teams in the Group Stage will move on to the Grand Finals while the rest will have one last chance in the Elimination Stage. Four more teams will make it to the Grand Finals which will be played with 16 teams.

The PUBG Global Championship 2020 will only have 16 teams and will strictly play a Grand Finals stage. The top four teams from the third PGS event will automatically qualify. The remaining spots will be based on point totals earned during the Grand Final stages of the previous three events.

PUBG Corp is improving revenue sharing and promises pro teams, "a guaranteed minimum of $20,000 for each PGS event." The first three events will feature a prize pool of $500,000 each, while Global Championship will award $2,000,000. Pick'Em Challenges will also return giving the fanbase a chance to crowdfund and support their favorite teams.

The PUBG Global Series kicks off with PGS: Berlin, which takes place for two weeks at Messe Berlin from March 31 to April 12.
