2024 PMGC format and prize pool

Just like last year, the 2024 PMGC will start with the League stage that runs for four weeks, then followed by three days of Grand Finals.

At the Group Stage, 48 teams will be divided equally into three groups (Yellow/Red/Green) of 16 teams. Each group plays exclusively in a certain week of 24 matches (four matchdays, six matches).

The top 3 teams of each group advance to the Grand Finals, the 4th-11th place teams advance to the Survival Stage, and the bottom 5 teams are eliminated.

At the Survival Stage, 24 teams will be divided equally into three groups of 8 teams. Each group plays six matches per day for a total of 18 matches across three days. The top 16 teams advance to Last Chance, while the bottom 8 teams are eliminated.

At the Last Chance, the remaining teams will play 12 matches. The top 6 teams advance to the Grand Finals, while the bottom 10 teams are eliminated.

At the Grand Finals, the 15 teams from the League Stage and one team from the host country direct invite will play 18 matches for three days (six matches each day).

All matches will use the official PUBG MOBILE Global Esports point system, with one point for every elimination and additional points based on the team's final placement during the match: 10 points for #1, 6 points for #2, 5 points for #3, 4 points for #4, 3 points for #5, 2 points for #6, 1 point for #7-8, and 0 points for #9-16.

The total prize pool of USD $3,000,000 will be allocated to all participating teams based on their final rankings, as well as individual awards, with the detailed distribution being announced soon. The tournament's result will also be considered for the next PUBG MOBILE Power Ranking updated in December 2024.

However, there is still no information for the League Stage, but if we look back at the previous PMGC, the League Stage is highly likely closed to the public and will run without an audience.

Fans around the world can also watch the whole tournament online, as it is being streamed on various streaming sites including YouTube, Twitch, Facebook Live, and possibly Chinese platforms like Douyu, Huya, and TikTok.
