PTG Database Analysis
PNC 2026 ran from June 23 to 28 in Seoul, with the survival stage at PUBG Seongsu and the grand final at Jangchung Arena. The 24-team field was divided between two survival days and a three-day final; the official rules used 25 matches, Erangel, Miramar, Taego and Rondo, and a $500,000 base prize pool.[1][2]
Brazil won the completed edition after five days of competition, taking the title ahead of defending champion Korea. The event retained the national all-star premise while expanding the field and using Event Pass revenue to add to the prize pool, making the 2026 record the clearest current reference point for the series’ scale.[3][4]
