From May 14 to 31, teams across all four major PUBG regions will compete in various types of brackets for a combined prize pool of $800,000. Half of that will be donated directly to charities selected by the winning teams. 

Starting with a rotating daily schedule for Asia and Asia Pacific, the PCS is going to have 11 days of non-stop action. Unlike Europe and North America, both Asia regions have their entire brackets locked down, with 16 teams in each bracket getting direct invites based on prior performances. 

Here’s how each of those separate brackets will be broken down according to each location within the regions, along with the competition dates for both.
