The Group Stage features 32 teams, with the bottom eight being eliminated over the course of three days. The Semifinal Stage, meanwhile, features the remaining 24 teams, before eight of them are knocked out. The Grand Finals feature the remaining 16 teams battling it out at the Oakland Arena for two days of competition, six matches each day, before one team walks away as the 2019 PUBG Global Champion.

The tournament isn't just about the team, as beginning November 5, fans are going to be able to gear up and celebrate the tournament by purchasing an exciting range of exclusive in-game items.
