We’re halfway through PGI.S, which means it’s time to switch things up for our halftime showdown, the Survival Tournament! A true free-for-all test of each team’s combat skills, the Survival Showdown awards points for kills as well as placement, allowing teams more ways to play to their strengths and take home cold hard cash!

First, teams will be divided into 8 groups based on their current PGI.S standings. These 8 groups of 4 teams each will then battle it out in a tournament format from March 5th – 7th.

Each match will consist of 3 rounds using the familiar SUPER point system, so both placement and kills matter in your overall ranking.

Top teams will receive 10, 6, 5, or 4 placement points

Players will earn an additional point for each kill earned during the match
The team with the highest point total at the end of 3 rounds will win the match.

The tournament takes place in TPP on Erangel and has special blue zone timers for shorter and more fast-paced matches.

The first blue zone will have a diameter of 2.5km and will be shown as players begin to fly over the Erangel providing a heads-up to plan their drop.

The overall zone size will shrink to the final circle in fewer phases, resulting in about a 13m match time.

The speed at which the circle shrinks will be enough for players to perform manoeuvres. However, it will shrink rather dramatically fast in the early 1~2 phases.

There will be no red zones or care packages and blue zone damage will be increased, forcing the team to stay on the move and fight in safe areas.

Prize Pool

Survival Tournament will grant teams not only chances to show off their true combat skills but also provide chances to earn extra cashes with the total prize pool of $60,000.

1st : $30,000
2nd : $15,000
3rd : $10,000
4th : $5,000

*Prizing earned from the Survival Tournament doesn’t contribute towards the overall PGI.S tournament rankings.
