PUBG Corporation has shared 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.
