PTG Database Analysis

The 2025 PUBG Nations Cup expanded to 24 national squads and five competition days at the Olympic Handball Gymnasium in Seoul. The official format split the program into two survival-stage days and three final-stage days, with six matches per day and a $500,000 base prize pool.[1]

Team Vietnam won with 216 points after finishing second in 2019 and 2022, third in 2023 and fourth in 2024. The result marked both a first title for Vietnam and a meaningful shift in the series’ competitive balance after Korea’s back-to-back championships.[2]
