PUBG Global Series 10 Finals: Teams Battle for $300,000 Prize
The tension is electric in Seremban, Malaysia, as Day 2 of the PUBG Global Series 10 (PGS 10) Finals gets underway. The world’s elite 16 teams are deep in the trenches, battling not just for a piece of the massive $300,000 prize pool, but for the crucial qualification points needed to secure a spot at the year-end PUBG Global Championship (PGC). After a blistering opening day, the leaderboard has taken shape, but with 12 matches still to play, the championship is anyone's to claim.
This grand finale is the culmination of a week of high-stakes battle royale action. The tournament kicked off on October 27th with a grueling three-day Group Stage that saw 24 of the best squads from around the globe drop into Erangel and Miramar. Only the top 16 teams survived the cut, earning their place in this prestigious Final Stage, while eight were sent packing, their championship dreams cut short.
Day 1 Fallout: Setting a Fierce Pace
The first day of the Finals on October 31st was a showcase of tactical genius and mechanical skill. Teams that excelled in the Group Stage sought to carry their momentum forward, while others looked to reset and make a strong opening statement. European powerhouse Twisted Minds came out swinging, securing a phenomenal two Chicken Dinners across the first six matches. Their aggressive, coordinated pushes and impeccable late-game positioning have placed them firmly at the top of the standings, creating a significant point gap that other teams will be desperate to close today.
Meanwhile, squads from the Americas and APAC regions showed flashes of brilliance but struggled for consistency. A few fan-favorite teams find themselves in the lower half of the table, needing a monumental performance on Day 2 to climb back into contention. The pressure is on, as a poor showing today could put the title, and the PGC points that come with it, completely out of reach.
The Stakes: More Than Just a Trophy
While the $300,000 prize pool is a massive draw, with the first-place team taking home a life-changing sum, the ultimate prize for many is a ticket to the PUBG Global Championship. The PGS circuit is a critical pathway to the PGC, the most coveted tournament in the PUBG Esports calendar. The points awarded at PGS 10 are weighted heavily, and a top-four finish here could be the difference between qualifying for the global finals or watching from the sidelines.
This dual-layered incentive system creates a fascinating dynamic in the lobby. Teams at the top fight for the championship title, while teams in the middle might adopt safer strategies to secure a respectable placement and lock in those precious PGC points. Every elimination and every placement point is magnified in importance, leading to nerve-wracking and unpredictable endgame circles.
How the PGS 10 Finals Work
The structure of the PGS 10 Final Stage is designed to reward the most consistent and skilled team over the long haul. Here’s a breakdown of the competitive format:
- Total Matches: 18 matches are played over three days (October 31 - November 2).
- Daily Schedule: Six matches are played each day.
- Maps: The battlegrounds will alternate between the iconic maps of Erangel and Miramar, with Taego also making appearances.
- Scoring System: Teams accumulate points through the Standard and Universal PUBG Esports Ruleset (SUPER). This system awards points for both final match placement and the number of eliminations secured.
- Placement Points: 10 points for 1st, 6 for 2nd, 5 for 3rd, and so on.
- Kill Points: Each elimination grants one point.
- The Champion: The team with the most total points after all 18 matches are completed will be crowned the PUBG Global Series 10 champion.
This format ensures that a single great game isn't enough to win. Teams must demonstrate adaptability, strategic depth, and raw firepower consistently across all three days to rise to the top.
What to Expect on Day 2
Day 2 is often called "moving day" in tournament esports, and for good reason. It's the critical midpoint where teams must make their charge. For the squads languishing at the bottom of the leaderboard, today is a do-or-die moment. Expect them to take more risks, engage in early fights, and hunt for elimination points to try and claw their way back.
For the teams in the middle of the pack, Day 2 is about solidifying a position in the top eight. They will be focused on clean rotations and avoiding costly mistakes, aiming for consistent top-five finishes to build a solid point foundation ahead of the final day.
At the very top, the leaders will be looking over their shoulders. While they have a cushion, they cannot afford to be complacent. They will aim to control the pace of the lobby, either by continuing their aggressive dominance or by playing a more strategic game to protect their lead. The decisions made on the battlegrounds today in Seremban will undoubtedly shape the narrative for tomorrow's final, dramatic conclusion.
