The Elimination Group did not disappoint with a wild mix of play styles keeping everyone on their toes.

VC Gaming’s Iron Grip


VC Gaming came to slay with quick and fast kills from Match 1 through Match 6. By Match 4 they were already guaranteed a Semifinal spot, but they took the Chicken Dinner anyway because they could. Their approach was all aggression all day as they would make a mad dash for loot and then look for a fight. Tide was a standout spending most of the day in first place for kills. They ended up adding another Chicken Dinner in Match 4 on Sanhok and it seems like VC Gaming sent the message they wanted to send.



Semifinals Contenders

Called in at the last minute and making the most of the opportunity were The Rumblers. The Rumblers threw this group a few curve balls with CherryPoppin and Waldoe often going lonewolf style and spoiling firefights at key points in matches. As for QM Gaming, they had a consistent stream of kills due to stealthy tactics that kept them sitting pretty on the leaderboard. Team Liquid attempted to course correct today and pull themselves out of the hole they’d dug for themselves coming out of Group 2. The PEL giants managed to snag themselves a Chicken Dinner in a tough final circle against VC Gaming, however it wasn’t enough. The day ended with a big win for LPPS lovers as Red Canids took 15 points off of the final map of the day to vault into the Semifinals.



And Then There Were 24…

Those who made it out today more than earned their Semifinal spots. There is plenty of talent in this group of teams and any one of them is capable of taking this all the way to Oakland.

As predicted, Day 2 of the PGC Group Stage was full of surprises with Group 2. The day was defined by standout performances and brutal circles.



Two dinners of poultry were served up hot to TSM with rumblings that a Chicken Dinner World Tour (Scoring a Chicken Dinner on every map) could be in the cards. Team SoloMid held their lead with methodical, conservative tactics. Right behind them, armed with killer shots and healthy number of PGC Pick ‘Em votes was Four Angry Men who were downright merciless and it showed in their body count. Coming into the spotlight with two match wins was Sting Divine Esports from the PUBG Southeast Asia Championship. Their play style focused on split tactics for efficient looting that kept them VERY armed and dangerous.

Solo Artists

Today had no shortage of players making big plays single-handedly. First is Lazarus’ luke12 who was the last of his team in Matches 1 and 2. He spent his alone time wisely by scoring kill points that kept Lazarus in the running for the Semifinals. Also making himself known was DeTonator’s Wick2d who was not afraid to get his hands dirty and step into heated fights. Just check his stats in Match 3 where he lead the charge to take out the competition.

Those Crazy Circles

Circles are often categorized as friendly or evil. When it came to Matches 3 and 4, evil won the day. Match 3 on Erangel came with the dreaded southern circle putting all eyes on Sosnovka Military Base. There was lots of wild boat action as more than half the teams had to make their way to the island. Match 4 was on Sanhok, where the circles zoned in on the north region near Ha Tinh which is riddled with rivers.



Winners

• Match 1 (Erangel) - TSM
  
• Match 2 (Erangel) - Sting Divine Esports
  
• Match 3 (Erangel) - ahq eSports Club
  
• Match 4 (Sanhok) - TSM
  
• Match 5 (Miramar) - Sting Divine Esports
  
• Match 6 (Miramar) - Genesis

Tomorrow is NOT Just Another Day

This Elimination Group will be nothing short of madness. To start, you’ll notice a lack of Team Liquid fanfare because they have stunned everyone with a 16th place finish in Group 2. Their unexpected presence in the Elimination Group will have an interesting effect on the day’s gameplay. This is a PEL team that KNOWS how to win. The question is, will they be able to find their feet in time to hold off a bunch of other desperate teams looking to qualify for the Semifinals? Or will the other teams smell blood, decide now’s the time to take out a giant and finish Team Liquid for good?

Tune into the PGC Elimination Group tomorrow, November 10, at 5:00 p.m. PT at http://watch.pubgesports.com.

If you’re enjoying the PGC and want to be there for the Grand Finals in Oakland tickets are available and come with a set of PGC in-game items that’ll have you looking just like the pros in the tournament.

The PGC is officially up and running at OGN Super Arena in Manhattan Beach! Today we witnessed the heavy hitters of Group 1 duke it out in their first step toward Global Championship glory!

Big Contenders



Group 1 featured a lot of established talent which produced a lot of measured and disciplined gameplay. The first Chicken Dinner of the day was served to OGN Entus Ace who maintained solid placing throughout the day. Faze Clan maintained an intimidating presence which included an impressive win in Match 2 using stellar map positioning. By Match 4 we saw Natus Vincere give us a preview of what could be to come for the Semifinals with solid team positioning that earned them the win.

On The Rise

VC Gaming game out of the gate swinging with a big push for kill points while Vendetta had a big day from eDGe who scored a sweet blow against Faze with a brilliantly tossed ‘nade. Ghost Gaming showed off strong map positioning instincts and intuitive team movement which earned them their fair share of points. Korea’s T1 also made some big plays today and even took the win for Match 3.

Honorable Mentions

Tempo Storm managed to deliver a win for North American fans in Match 5. They pulled themselves together under pressure. They’re hoping they can bring that kind of composure into the Semifinals.



Winners
Match 1 (Erangel)– OGN OGn Entus Ace
Match 2 (Erangel)– Faze Clan
Match 3 (Erangel)– SK Telecom T1
Match 4 (Sanhok) – Natus Vincere

Favorites like Team Liquid, Four Angry Men and Athletico will be taking to the Battlegrounds tomorrow to secure their place in the Semifinals. Keep an eye out for Genesis and their raw talent and Lazarus, on whom a lot of North American fans are pinning their hopes on.

The PUBG Global Championship 2019, the final destination that PUBG Esports 2019 has been building to all year, is almost here. At PGC 2019, the world’s top-ranked PUBG players will be found in one place to compete for the ultimate Chicken Dinner!

Now is your opportunity to predict who’s taking home the grease-fried gold. Guess which team will be the champion of PGC 2019 and if your pick wins it all, you take home some champion level loot too.

The entrants that pick the winning team win a 5 weapon PGC skin set only available from the PGC Pick’Em Challenge.

Voting Period: Now, November 6, 2019 until 11 am KST on November 23, 2019.
Rewards: PGC 2019 Weapon Skins - SCAR-L, AKM, Kar98k, Mini14, Pan
Rewards Provided: Dec. 4, 2019 (to be consecutively provided within 1 day)



Please find a detailed Q&A below for further explanation about the Pick'Em Challenge. If you have more questions, please contact PUBG Support.

Q. How do I get the team selection coupon?
A. When you purchase any one of the six PGC items (PGC 2019 Bundle, PGC 2019 Clothing Set, PGC 2019 Combat Set, PGC 2019 M416 Skin Crate, PGC 2019 Dacia Skin Crate and PGC 2019 Emote Crate), you will be given one team selection coupon.

Only 1 coupon is earned per purchase.

You can also win one team selection coupon free of charge by playing the game and meeting the criteria below.

Q. How do I get the team selection coupon for free?
A. Finish top 10 in any Public Match (regardless of map or mode) during the event period and earn one free team selection coupon. You can only earn one free team selection coupon for the duration of the event.

Q. Where do I vote?
A. You can vote in the Pick’Em Challenge tab under the PGC 2019 tab in the in-game lobby.

Q. How do I know if I have the team selection coupon?
A. When you select the Pick’Em Challenge under the PGC 2019 tab, the team selection coupon you currently have will be indicated in the lower-left corner.

Q. What happens if I get a refund for the purchased item after I vote?
A. If a player casts more votes than they have earned, their votes will be nullified and ineligible for rewards. This would only be the case if a PGC item was refunded after a vote has been cast using its coupons.

Q. What happens if I get a refund for the purchased item after I vote?
A. If a player refunds an item and then purchases a different item, their votes will remain eligible as long as they do not cast the additional vote from their new purchase, which would bring the total number of votes above their final purchased and earned amount.

• For example, if you have two coupons in total, one earned from a top 10 victory and the other from buying a PGC item, and then refund that item, you will have only one eligible vote.
  
• If you’d already cast both votes in this situation, the number of eligible entries (1 coupon) and the number of cast votes (2 votes) do not match, so no items will be rewarded, even if you win.
  
• However, if you purchase one additional PGC item within the period to bring your number of eligible entries (2 coupons) back up to the number of votes you cast (2 votes), you will still earn the rewards if you win.
  
• Casting a vote with the newly purchased PGC item coupon would however bring your account back out of sync with how many eligible entries you have, nullifying your eligibility for rewards once again. So if you do refund an item after you’ve used its coupon to cast a vote, make sure you do not use the coupon from the replacement item.

Q. What skins do I get as a reward?
A. If you successfully predict the champion, you win all 5 PGC weapon skin sets (for AKM, SCAR-L, Mini14, Kar98k and Pan).

Q. When do I get the rewards?
A. The rewards will be provided consecutively within no more than 1 day from 11 a.m. of Dec. 4, 2019 (KST). If there is any problem receiving your rewards, please contact PUBG Support and submit a ticket by entering your in-game nickname and inquiry.

Q. Is the PGC 2019 Weapon Skin set (Rewards for successfully picking PGC champion) marketable in Steam Community Market?
A. PGC 2019 Weapon Skin set (event reward items) are not marketable in the Steam Community Market at any time.


Q. Are purchased PGC 2019 items marketable in the Steam Community Market?
A. PGC 2019 Bundle, PGC 2019 Clothing Set, PGC 2019 Combat Set, PGC 2019 M416 Skin Crate, and PGC 2019 Dacia Skin Crate are marketable starting from December 17 6PM PST in the Steam Community Market. The PGC 2019 Emote will remain unmarketable.

Q. How long will I see the PGC 2019 tab in-game on PC?
A. The PGC 2019 tab in the in-game lobby will be shown until 11 am KST on December 11, 2019.

Q. Where can I see the information on which teams are competing at PGC 2019?
A. You can find information about the teams, their players, real-time standings, etc. from the PGC 2019 tab in the PC in-game lobby. For more detailed statistics, please visit PUBG STATS HUB.

Q. How will the proceeds from PGC 2019 item sales be distributed to the teams?
A. 25% of the proceeds from PGC 2019 items sales will be added to the total prize pool, and an additional 25% of the proceeds will be distributed to the participating teams according to their percentages of the Pick'Em Challenge votes as part of the team support fund.

Q. Will there be Pick’Em Challenge for both PC and console?
A. Pick’Em Challenge will be carried out only on PC, and a separate PGC event will be carried out for the console players, allowing them the chance to receive the same rewards. For more information on the console event, please click HERE.
