Series (PCS) in response to COVID-19, PUBG Corporation is sharing the schedule for the first event – the PCS Charity Showdown. The PCS Charity Showdown will consist of four regional online tournaments taking place throughout the month of May. The four regions include: Asia (Korea, Japan, China and Chinese Taipei), Asia Pacific (Southeast Asia and Oceana), Europe and North America.
Teams will be competing for their share of a $100,000 USD prize pot in each of the regional tournaments. As these are charity tournaments, PUBG Corporation will also donate an additional $100,000 to each tournament for charities selected by the winning teams – resulting in an $800,000 combined fund. Further details around each individual tournament can be found below.
