First off, the Playoffs will be divided into three sub regions – Europe West, Europe East and Middle East & Africa – with 24 rosters competing at each tournament. The teams participating will have either progressed from Open Qualifiers, earned their places based on past performance or Wildcards from third-party events, or been invited directly. Stay tuned for more details closer to each Playoff event.
In each regional tournament, the 24 competing teams will be split into three groups of eight. Each group will compete over three days, playing a total of 18 matches.
After all is said and done, the top three squads from each sub region will progress to the PCS5 Europe Grand Finals. That’s when the competition really heats up as rosters will go head-to-head for a share of more than $250,000 and vital PGC Qualification Points. The PCS5 winner will even receive a direct invitation to the PUBG Global Championship!
