The PUBG Continental Series 4 (PCS4) of the Americas starts today through the open qualifiers, which saw a record of registrations in the Latin American classification.
The competition’s Grand Final, which ends on June 25, has a prize pool of US $250,000 and will award ranking points for the PUBG Global Championship (PGC).
