KRAFTON has shared details on its upcoming Survival Tournament – a one off speciality tournament taking place as part of the global LAN/online hybrid esports festival PUBG GLOBAL INVITATIONAL.S (PGI.S).
The PGI.S Survival Tournament will run for three days from March 5 – 7. A total of 32 teams will be organized into eight groups of four based on their week three performance at PGI.S. The eight rosters with the highest scores from the group matches will advance to the final stages, where they will compete for a place in the final four. Being a speciality tournament, the ruleset has been tweaked to maximize action, with shorter Blue Zones creating faster paced matches which allow more action to be packed into a shorter round. Fans of PUBG esports will be able to follow all of the action live in various languages on the following channels:

The total prize pool for the Survival Tournament is USD $60,000, of which $30,000 is awarded to the winning team – these funds do not contribute to the overall PGI.S ranking as this is a distinct event.
