Representing Soniqs, Hunger “hwinn” Winn, James “TGLTN” Giezen, Tristan “Shrimzy” Nowicki, and Austin “M1ME” Scherff showcased their exceptional skills over three action-packed days. Their dedication paid off handsomely, as they secured a lion’s share of the staggering $2 million prize pool offered by Krafton Inc., earning themselves a substantial $600,000.
A Masterful Performance
The North American squad stood out with three triumphant victories out of fifteen rounds in the grand finals, outperforming their rivals in this regard. They also exhibited their sharpshooting prowess by accumulating 89 kills, putting them in second place for total kills. EMEA’s Twisted Minds held the distinction of having the most kills, tallying 93. Despite their impressive kill count, they couldn’t bridge the gap in placement scores.
TGLTN of Soniqs demonstrated exceptional skill, earning the Most Valuable Player (MVP) title along with a substantial bonus of $20,000. He led his team to victory with an astounding 29 kills, making a significant contribution to their championship win.
The Road to the PUBG Global Championships

Teams participating in the Global Series 2 earned valuable PGS points based on their placements, paving the way for their qualification to PGC 2023.
