Indeed, after long last, the PUBG Continental Series 2 is finally complete. Accordingly, the event offered a shocking $200,000 to each of the four regions – Europe, APAC, Asia and North America. Representing four separate continents, we’ll be offering a recap for the entire event below!
To begin with, the following are the dates each tournament occupied:
- Europe – 7th August to 13th September
- Asia Pacific – 29th August to 13th September
- Asia – 27th August to 9th September
- North America – 24th July to 11th September
Overall, the number of teams ranged from 16 up to 24. Regardless, a similar format was followed. The teams involved, either invited or directly qualified, engage in League Play. Split into a number of groups, a round robin means that every team plays the same number of matches.
After League Play, the overall top teams, 16 for example, make it to the Finals to play a fixed number of matches. Performance in this matches will decide the final scoreboard and distribution of prize pool.
Results for the PUBG Continental Series 2 Finals
Europe
From the start of the event, FaZe Clan and Team Liquid were at each other’s necks. Placing 1st and 3rd in the overall group respectively, they carried that momentum forward to finals.
Although a tight competition for roughly 20 rounds, FaZe Clan blew Team Liquid out of the water in rounds 22 and 23. Here they secured two first place finishes, with 13 and 10 kills each time.
Otherwise, Team SoloMid is the only team from last season to make it into the top 4 yet again.
Asia Pacific
An absolute nail-biter. Who would have thought that after 24 rounds, with both kills and placements gaining points, that two teams would stack up evenly. That’s exactly what happened to Divine and FURY – and it was incredible.
Boiling down to the last round, confusion struck about as the teams achieved the same. However, as according to the rules, Divine earned first place due to achieving 5 victories while FURY had none to show for.
Otherwise, competition was insane in this region.
North America
The same cannot be said for the North American region. However, Soniqs didn’t start dominant, as in the groups they placed sixth. Then, in the finals, they suddenly began destroying the entire competition, claiming 8 victories.
This is a strong jump from third in last season.
Asia
Rounding off the regions is Asia. This region probably offered the most exciting title race. At first, T1 claimed the lead followed closely by Tianba and ENTUS. Only then, iFTY placed first twice to jump in front.
In the latter half of the finals, TSG came swooping in with a couple of victories, one ending with a super 17 kills at one point to steal it.
