PTG Database Analysis
The PUBG MOBILE Global Open 2026 Season 1 South America Finals ran online from May 15–17 with 16 teams. The event’s listed organizers were KRAFTON and Level Infinite. The top three teams earned places in the Season 1 Main Event.[1][2]
The 18-match schedule planned six matches per day. On Day 3, teams needed 140 points to reach match point; FURIA Esports PUBG MOBILE reached the threshold and won with a WWCD on Match 16, so Matches 17 and 18 were not played. Alpha7 PUBG MOBILE finished second and Loops Esports PUBG MOBILE third.[1][3]
Liquipedia lists the match start times in UTC: Matches 1–6 began at 22:10, 22:55 and 23:40 on May 15, then 00:25, 01:00 and 01:45 on May 16. Matches 7–12 used the same sequence from May 16 into May 17; Matches 13–16 began at 22:10, 22:55 and 23:40 on May 17, with Match 16 scheduled for May 18 at 00:25. The remaining two planned games were not played after FURIA triggered the Smash Rule.[1]
The full standings were FURIA Esports, Alpha7 Esports, Loops Esports, Four Magic, INFLUENCE RAGE, Maryland Esports, Game On Esports, JP Esports, Savage Esports, RoW Esports, Action Esports, Burn in Silence, Chape Esports, THUNDER eSports, Sweet Madness and Artic Gaming.[1]
Liquipedia lists a USD 25,000 prize pool and identifies KRAFTON and Level Infinite as organizers. GosuGamers places the same two companies in a “Sponsored by” line, but available records do not distinguish a separate sponsorship role from their organizer role; the partnership table therefore contains no separate sponsor claim.[1][2]
