'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' (ALL) PUBG Global Championship 2019 Group Stage and Exclusive In-Game Items Coming Soon

by Rainier on Nov. 5, 2019 @ 8:03 a.m. PST

PUBG: Battlegrounds expands the core Battle Royale experience into a highly competitive player vs. player (PvP) game in a vivid open world.

Welcome to the ultimate battle for life and death

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will expand the core Battle Royale experience enjoyed by millions of players into a highly competitive player vs. player (PvP) game in a dynamic open world. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will put up to 64 players on a remote island for a winner-takes-all showdown where strategic gameplay is as important as shooting skills. Players will enter a last-man-standing battle where they try to locate weapons, vehicles and supplies in a graphically and tactically rich battleground that eventually forces players into a shrinking safe area as they engage in a tense and spectacular fight to the death.

When the match starts, players have no items or weapons. To progress, they can try to commandeer a vehicle to discover a high-value location, search for weapons or employ other diversified tactics with a goal of being the last man standing. All weapons can be upgraded with attachments such as sights and suppressors and both road and off-road vehicles will be available to players.

Kill or be killed in a fight to be the last man standing.

The Group Stage (Nov. 8-10) and Semifinals (Nov. 15-17) will be held at the OGN Super Arena in Manhattan Beach, CA, before culminating at the Grand Finals (Nov. 23-24) at the Oakland Arena in Oakland, CA.

PC and console players will be able to celebrate and gear up for PGC by purchasing an exciting array of exclusive in-game items from Nov. 5-26. Items include a PGC 2019 Clothing Set, Combat Set, M416 Weapon Skin, Dacia Skin, and Victory Dance Emote. 50% of item revenue will be shared amongst participating teams throughout the competition. 25% will go directly to the guaranteed $2 million-dollar USD prize pool, while the other 25% will be shared with teams through the PGC Pick’Em Challenge Event.

The PGC Pick’Em Challenge Event runs from Nov. 5-22 and introduces a way for esport fans to predict the tournament winners and receive exclusive rewards for guessing correctly. Participating PC players will receive an in-game Team Selection Coupon for every initial purchase of an item. Players can also obtain a single Team Selection Coupon by finishing in the top 10 of any public match. Coupons can then be redeemed for an opportunity to predict the winning team, and those who guess correctly will receive an exclusive PGC 2019 Weapon Skin Set, not obtainable anywhere else. The set includes skins for the AKM, SCAR-L, Mini 14, Kar98k, and Pan. For more details on how console players can obtain the exclusive PGC 2019 Weapon Skin Set, please visit the official website.
