PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC) is an event that fans around the world wait for every year as they get to see the best teams compete for a gigantic prize pool.

Tencent and Krafton host the prestigious event at the end of every year since 2020. Both the previous editions saw the dominance of Chinese teams, which is considered to be the best PUBG Mobile region.

Today, during the 2022 Esports Annual Submit, co-hosted by Tencent and Asian Electronic Sports Federation, it was revealed that four teams from China would participate in the PMGC 2022, a $4 million event.

The champions of the ongoing PEL 2022 Summer will advance directly to the PMGC Grand Finals, while second and third placed teams will qualify for the League Stage. PMGC 2022 will be held between November 22, 2022, to January 23, 2023.

Officials will organize a special tournament later this year in which the top team will make it to the League Stage.

This year, Tencent changed the format of the PEL as it is being played in three stages. It added the Playoffs stage between the regular season and the Grand Finals to create strong competition.

Two-time world champions, Nova Esports has grabbed pole in the regular season, followed by STE. LGD Gaming held third place, while the spring season winners RSG placed fourth in the overall standings.

Four Angry Men (4AM), who were the runners-up in the Global Championship 2020, earned the fifth spot in the regular season. The team had poor runs in 2021, as they didn't win a single PEL season and also failed to qualify for the Global Championship.

The Grand Finals of the PEL Summer will take place from August 18 to 21, and will have an enormous prize pool.
