The 2026 PUBG Global Series reaches its final chapter as the PGS 10 group stage kicks off on October 14, launching Circuit 4 and the decisive race to PGC 2026. With 240 points still available across three tournaments, teams both inside and outside the qualification zone have one last chance to make their move toward a spot at the championship.
PGS 10 Groups and Team Lineups
Twenty-four teams will compete in PGS 10, divided into three groups using a snake seeding format based on PGS 9 results. Gen.G Esports, the PGS 9 winner, is placed in Group A, second-place T1 in Group B, and third-place Falcons in Group C.
Group A: Gen.G Esports, Made in Thailand, Virtus.pro, TEAM LIQUID, DN SOOPers, Sharper Esports, Team Vitality, Natus Vincere
Group B: T1, Alpha Gaming, Team Flash, eArena, Petrichor Road, FULL SENSE, TYLOO, JD Gaming
Group C: Falcons, Geekay Esports, Anyone’s Legend, 17Gaming, FOUR ANGRY MEN, Twisted Minds, 09 (Team Nemesis at PGS 9), Godlike
One roster change: Team Flash replaces GAM The Expendables following their withdrawal from Circuit 4. Flash was selected based on its PVS Phase 1 placement under the existing qualification criteria.
PGS Circuit 4 Schedule
Circuit 4 runs from October 14 to November 1, comprising three tournaments that will determine the final PGS Points standings and settle which eight teams advance to PGC 2026. For more background, read our PGS Circuit 4 overview.
- PGS 10: Group Stage October 14, Winners Stage October 15, Survival Stage October 16, Final Stage October 17–18
- PGS 11: Winners Stage October 22, Survival Stage October 23, Final Stage October 24–25
- PGS 12: Survival Stage October 29, Grand Finals October 30–November 1
At PGS 12, the Circuit Final, the top eight teams in the Circuit 4 PGS Points standings, based on points accumulated through PGS 10 and PGS 11, advance directly to the Grand Finals. The remaining 16 teams compete in the Survival Stage for the remaining spots.
PGS Points Standings After Circuit 3
After nine completed events, Virtus.pro leads the standings with 261 points, followed by Made in Thailand with 224, 17Gaming with 223, and T1 with 208.
The battle for qualification remains wide open. Petrichor Road holds the final PGC qualification spot in eighth place with 152 points, while seventh-place Falcons sit just two points ahead at 154. Ninth-place Gen.G Esports trail the cutoff by only seven points with 145. With Circuit 4 still to unfold, the current standings are far from the final picture.
How PGS Points Decide PGC 2026 Qualification and Seeding
The top eight teams in the final PGS Points standings, accumulated across PGS 1 through PGS 12, qualify for PGC 2026. Seeding is determined by final rank: the team finishing first in PGS Points advances directly to the PGC 2026 Grand Finals, second place enters at Survival Stage Day 1, and teams finishing third through eighth begin in the Qualifying Stage.
This means teams already inside the top eight keep fighting throughout Circuit 4, competing not just for their position but for a more advantageous starting point at PGC.
240 Points Up for Grabs: Double Points at PGS 12
PGS 10 and PGS 11 each award 60 points to the winner, with points awarded down through 16th place. At PGS 12, the points are doubled: the winner earns 120 points and second place receives 96, with double the PGS 10 and PGS 11 values applied throughout the standings.
The maximum a single team can earn across Circuit 4 is 240 points: 60 from PGS 10, 60 from PGS 11, and 120 from PGS 12. For teams outside the top eight, Circuit 4 is a last chance to climb in. For those already inside, it is the final test to defend their position and secure the best possible PGC seed.
The race begins October 14 with the PGS 10 group stage.
