KRAFTON said on the 27th that it will hold the 10th season of the global esports tournament for PUBG: Battlegrounds, the PUBG Global Series (PGS).
PGS is an international tournament where 24 top professional teams from around the world compete for the season's best. PGS 10 will be held from Oct. 27 to Nov. 2 at Karisma Arena in Seremban, Malaysia. It will serve as the final gateway to a berth at the year-end PUBG Global Championship (PGC 2025).
At PGS 9, which wrapped up on Oct. 19, Twisted Minds took the title and cemented itself as a strong favorite for PGC 2025. Virtus.pro and Team Falcons followed in second and third, respectively, after fierce competition.
PGS 10 will again bring together 24 teams from around the globe, including participants from PGS 9, to compete for the glory of the season finale. The tournament consists of a group stage (Oct. 27–29) and a final stage (Oct. 31–Nov. 2), with 24 teams divided into three groups, A, B, and C, playing in a round-robin format. The top 16 teams from the group stage advance to the final stage, and all matches apply the Battlegrounds esports standard rules across a total of 18 matches.
The total prize pool for PGS 10 is $300,000 (about 400 million won), with $100,000 awarded to the champion. The tournament is also the last global series offering berths to PGC 2025, and the top eight teams in cumulative PGS points this year will advance to the year-end PGC 2025 main event.
As with previous tournaments, viewer participation events will run alongside the competition. Drops that grant in-game rewards just for watching, broadcast code events, and a fantasy league have been prepared. All matches begin at 8 p.m. Korea Standard Time and will be streamed live on SOOP, YouTube, and Chzzk.
