With the main event of the year less than two weeks away, here’s 10 things you should know about the PUBG Global Championship 2022 and the rosters that qualified from Europe.
1. Europe is STACKED
The eight teams from Europe that have qualified for PGC 2022 are brimming with some amazing PUBG Esports talent. Throughout the year, dozens of rosters competed in two G-Loot and two PCS tournaments to amass enough PGC points to qualify. Twisted Minds, Entropiq, FaZe Clan, Polish Power, NAVI, OVERPEEKERS and BBL Esports have all scored higher than their competition and made it through. Question Mark received an automatic qualification for winning PCS7 outright.
2) One of the best European squads was just signed by Twisted Minds
Saudi Arabia-based org Twisted Minds just signed Northern Lights (BatulinS, Lu, Perfect1ks, spyrro). The team is one of the strongest and most well-known squads in all of Europe - a reputation which was cemented following a phenomenal second place finish at PCS7. Twisted Minds player BatulinS is also famous for his legendary fashion sense - often preferring to wear a bathrobe while playing their tournament matches.
3) Question Mark surprised the competition
Though they’ve had very good performances in the past, Question Mark (ADOUZ1E, DaNt3, HoBBitEz, f1lfirst) was a bit of a dark horse going into PCS7. They entered with only 50 PGC points to their name and a dream of winning the tournament. Their dream came true as they dominated PCS7 with a commanding first place finish - now the team has their sights set squarely on PGC 2022, where they hope to redeem themselves following their 30th place finish at PGC 2021.
4) Entropiq return with a lot to prove
Entropiq (ivas, Lukarux, Naylup, Qbe), the undisputed winners of PCS6 Europe, had a phenomenal first half of the year. However, their fortunes changed at PCS7 where they failed to qualify for the Grand Finals. In spite of this, Entropiq still accumulated more than enough PGC points to qualify to PGC 2022 and will be attempting to recapture their former glory. Let’s see if they will be up for the task.
5) First PGC appearance for Polish Power
Polish Power (K4pii, KnorkiS, Marcelek, Krunio) made their PCS Grand Finals debut just last month at PCS7 Europe. They finished PCS7 strong in third place and are about to have another first in their career - competing at PGC 2022. Another interesting fact about Polish Power is that they often prefer to practice in PUBG:BATTLEGROUNDS Ranked Mode instead of scrimming with other teams - a bold strategy which has certainly been paying off so far!
6) BBL Esports just got a fancy new logo
The all-Turkish squad (CodeMarco, Smash, Quetpa, Thenderlost) qualified to PGC in style following a fresh new logo redesign. They had a fourth place finish in PCS6 Europe and good placings in this year’s G-Loot tournaments. As the only team representing the MENA region, BBL Esports must be feeling the pressure to perform. Here’s hoping they can put on another commanding performance at PGC 2022!
7) PGC 2022 will last for 20 days
PGC 2022 will run from November 1 - 20 and each match will be broadcast live from Dubai. This will be the second offline tournament since the pandemic (following this summer’s PUBG Nations Cup 2022). PUBG Esports fans will be able to attend the PGC Grand Finals in person at the Dubai Exhibition Center during the final weekend of the tournament.
