Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek, and Guy “DrDisRespect” Beahm are among the 40 streamers and personalities that will compete with pro players for a charity of their choice.
Their will be 20 squads in total taking part in a series of four Squad matches. Two personalities will be paired up with two pro players to bring the total amount of players taking part to 80. The pro players taking part have not been announced.
The winning team will claim $600,000 for a charity of their choice while second will take $300,000. The third place team will take the last $100,000, so 17 teams will leave with nothing. Fans of PUBG esports can watch all the matches live on PUBG’s official Twitch channel from 9am CT.
