Krafton, a South Korean online game company, has announced details for the PUBG<\/a> Nations Cup 2022, a global competition featuring 16 national PUBG teams that will take place in Bangkok, Thailand, from June 16 to 19.<\/p>\n

This is the game’s first edition after a two-year absence from the esports scene. It is also the first time a live crowd will watch PUBG since the PUBG Global Championship in November 2019, just before the COVID-19 outbreak.<\/p>\n

The PUBG Nations Cup returns with 16 national teams competing for a piece of the $500,000 prize money, second and third place will be awarded $58,000 and $50,000, respectively. <\/p>\n

Also, Krafton has confirmed that free tickets would be distributed on-site at ICONSIAM Mall at TRUE ICON Hall. Because the space has a maximum capacity of 1,200 people, tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning early birds are most likely to get slots than others. <\/p>\n

Whilst the $500,000 prize pool is still below PUBG Mobile’s previous worldwide tournament’s $600,000, PNC 2022’s award could be raised by the sale of in-game items. Krafton has disclosed that the prize pool for the competition would be funded by 30% of the revenue from in-game purchases. <\/p>\n

Unlike other PUBG events, the best players in the PNC are selected by their teammates to represent their zone as the official representative. Only the best battle gamers will get a chance at fame and, of course, a piece of the prize money.<\/p>\n

The competition will feature 64 participants from 16 different territories from four different regions. Amongst them are the United Kingdom, Finland, Turkey, and Germany from Europe; from the Americas are Canada, Brazil, Argentina, and the United States; the Asia Pacific including, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Australia<\/a>; and then Asia consists of Korea, China<\/a>, Japan, Chinese Taipei.<\/p>\n

Europe is likely to be the focus of attention across all areas. This is as a result of the powerful and renowned players from each territory that was selected to represent their team. Some of which are: Christopher \u201cFexx\u201d Wheddon of FaZe Clan for the UK; Anssi \u201cmxey\u201d Pekkonen of Team Liquid for Finland; Tim \u201cMyca\u201d Bodenseh of shiftW for Germany and Furkan \u201cSmashbae\u201d Sanli of BBL Esports for Turkey.<\/p>\n

The PNC 2022 will use a “point rule” format that incorporates both elimination and placement points. On Erangel and Miramar five games will be contested per day, for a sum total of 20 matches. After 20 matches, the team with the overall highest points will be crowned the winner.<\/p>\n

The PNC 2022 will be broadcast on PUBG’s official platforms on Twitch, YouTube<\/a>, and Facebook.<\/p>\n

The 2019 PUBG Global Championship<\/h2>\n

The PUBG Global Championship 2019 is the last tournament that was hosted as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak.<\/p>\n

The competition featured 32 of the best teams from nine different regions. A group stage, an elimination stage, a playoff, and a grand finale were all part of the PUBG Global Championship 2019. The initial first three stages took place within the confines of the OGN Super Arena in Los Angeles, California.<\/p>\n

The Cup Final was held in Auckland on November 23rd and 24th. And the tournament champion was crowned in Oakland Arena, as the winner clinched $2,000,000 from a total prize fund of $4,000,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
