PUBG Global Championship 2021
Info
The largest PUBG event of the year is here! The PUBG Global Championship is a month-long tournament that brings together 32 best teams from around the globe to compete for its $2,000,000 (+crowdfunding) prize pool and for the title of 2021 World Champion.
Having many similarities to PGI.S earlier this year, PGC also takes place on LAN in Incheon, South Korea and has a fairly similar tournament structure with Rank Decision, Weekly Survivals, Bottom 16’s, and Weekly Finals. However, contrary to PGI.S, the winner won’t be based on the Prize Money Standings.
Instead, this time all the focus goes into the deciding Grand Finals weekend. For a team to earn the spot in the Grand Finals, they either need to win one of the three Weekly Finals, be one of the Top 9 teams with the highest overall points from the Weekly Finals, or win one of the four rounds of the last-effort Grand Survival.
Then, it all culminates on the final weekend as the winner of the Grand Finals will be declared the World Champion of the 2021 Season!
