The PGS Berlin Qualifiers take place this weekend and we’ve got 24 teams battling it out for an invitation to the PUBG Berlin Finals starting at the end of March. The PUBG Global Series 2020 looks set to grow in size and reputation after the huge success of the 2019 PUBG Nation’s Cup and PUBG Global Championship last year.

In a bid to grow the population of PUBG fans around the world, the structure of the tournaments has grown dramatically with increased revenues for teams and better opportunities for third-party event organizers.

Predictions
It’s more than likely that we’ll see mostly PEL qualified teams advancing through to the finals, and the bookies are backing this suggestion as well. Team Liquid, TSM, Omaken Sports and WTSG (the recent winners of the GLL Season 4, you can read our recap article about GLLS4 here) are the four teams being touted to come out on top at the end of the weekend.
These teams have all been highlighted as potential winners by the expert hosts over at PUBG.com, and we have to agree. The experience of the teams coming through the PEL will certainly help but there is always a surprise or two in tournaments like these. The underdogs coming through from the qualifiers will be looking to show their worth and this should make for some exciting PUBG action across the weekend!
