SANTA MONICA, CA – SEPT. 14, 2020 – After three weeks of edge-of-your-seat battle royale action, Soniqs reigned victorious at the PUBG Continental Series 2 (PCS2) North America Grand Final on Friday, September 11. As the North American Champions, Soniqs took home a lion’s share of the $200,000 USD prize pool. Meanwhile, the 15 other teams that battled it out at the NA Grand Final will divide the remainder of the prize based on their final placements. For those that want to recapture the action, they can do so by visiting the PUBG esports YouTube channel or PUBG Twitch channel.
PCS2 came to a close following twenty-four matches across the three-week format that showcased the best teams North America has to offer. Soniqs had a consistent and dominant play from start to finish. Since their finish in Week 1 atop the leaderboard, Soniqs managed to not just defend their high ground, but run away with the tournament by the end of Week 3. The team’s leading player, James “TGLTN” Giezen, looked unstoppable over the course of the Grand Final – leading almost every important individual statistical category.
PCS2 marked the third PUBG esports event of the year, where each event was won by one of the region’s “big three” teams. Oath Gaming and Shoot To Kill have won the previous two events in 2020 – the two teams rounded out the top-three during PCS2 Grand Final. Looking towards the future, with a major event victory under each of these team’s belts, which one will emerge victorious during PCS3 in November?
All participating Grand Final teams will also receive 25% of the community-funded prize pool earnings generated via the North American share of the PCS2 Pick’Em Challenge and in-game sales. This will increase the team’s initial prize pool earnings, while simultaneously delivering exclusive PCS2 weapon skins to fans that voted for them. For the last tournament, the PCS1 Pick’Em Challenge raised an additional $137,000 USD, bringing the tournament’s total prize pool to $337,000 USD.
With PCS3, the next premier PUBG esports event on the horizon, fans won’t have to wait much longer for the action to start again. PCS3 NA Group Stage will begin October 2 and take place each Friday, Saturday, and Sunday over the following three weekends, before culminating at the PCS3 NA Grand Final in November.
