Hello PUBG Esports fans.

As a new year of PUBG Esports arise, we are excited to announce our eight founding Global Partner Teams.

We opened applications to the Global Partner Team(GPT) program last December and we were incredibly humbled by the number of entries submitted. After a detailed evaluation and review process, the following teams have been selected as Global Partner Teams for the 2023 season:

Team Selection

A PUBG Esports evaluation committee was created to review applications, and each submission went through a final check under three major categories: Governance, Fandom and History. An organization’s ability and will to participate in the PUBG Esports journey and help to develop an even stronger ecosystem were key factors in the selection methodology. Additional criteria such as past performance in top-tier events was also included.

Without further ado, let’s learn a bit more about our new PUBG Esports Global Partner Teams!
