We’re finally getting more details about the upcoming PUBG Global Championship 2022. This is the premier esports event that crowns the overall champions of the 2022 PUBG Esports season. It will be a global in-person LAN tournament from November 1 to November 20, and the top 32 professional PUBG Esports teams worldwide will fight for a large share of the $2 million prize pool.
