The contest was completely dominated by Damwon Gaming, as they secured 154 points with 67 frags. In the process, the team also secured two chicken dinners.

Finishing behind them in second place was Japanese outfit, ZETA Division, securing 114 points with 47 eliminations. The third spot went to another Japanese squad, Pulverex, who finished with 111 points and 35 frags.

BC Swell, winner of the 2021 PMRC, claimed the fourth position with 96 points. The side had a good outing in the tournament and held themselves well. Similarly, Korean team Vanquish also performed excellently to occupy the fifth spot.

Team Square and Sengoku Gaming, who won their respective regional qualifiers, failed to emulate the same performance in the main event, finishing seventh and eighth respectively.

Meanwhile, DevGru and Sunsiter failed to deliver in the event. Both teams were unable to gain any sort of momentum and fell flat, grabbing 15th and 16th spots respectively. Overall, the sides secured a measly 40 and 39 points with a disappointing points-per-game average of 4.0 and 3.9.

This will be Damwon Gaming’s second appearance at the PUBG Mobile Global Championship. The team had a great showing in the 2021 League Stage as they topped the table. However, they faltered in the finals and held the 11th spot.

This year, the squad will look to rectify their mistakes and pose a threat to all competitors. Notably, the team performed quite well in the PUBG Mobile World Invitational 2022.
