PCS3 items now on sale with 25 per cent of the generated revenue to be distributed back to the global pro teams and added to the $800,000 USD total prize pool.
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Continental Series 3, or PCS3 for short, is resuming after the action-packed qualifying stages across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and Asia.
The qualifiers saw 16 teams from each region advance to their regional Grand Final events.
Fans can watch all the Europe Grand Final action on Twitch starting at 18:00 GMT/19:00 CET every day on November 7-8, 14-15, and 21-22.
PCS3 Items and Revenue Sharing
The PCS3 Grand Final brings the return of PCS items and the Pick’Em Challenge. Fans can gear up and celebrate PCS3 by purchasing in-game items on both PC and console.
25 per cent of the revenue generated from these purchases will be distributed to participating teams across the four regions. Of that amount, 12.5 per cent will be added to the $800,000 USD global prize pool and 12.5 per cent will be split equally amongst all participating rosters.
Every PCS3 item purchase will grant at least one voting coupon that can be used for the PCS3 Pick’Em Challenge. The previous two Pick’Em Challenges have raised the PCS1 and PCS2 prize pots from $1.6 million USD to $3.3 million USD.
PCS3 Pick’Em Challenge Details
Fans can get a chance to win rewards by guessing the winners of each regional tournament as part of the PCS3 Pick’Em Challenge.
A voting coupon is required and you can score these by purchasing PCS3 items or by earning free coupons through watching the live tournament streams.
Successfully predicting the winners will award players Esports Points (EP) that can be redeemed for exclusive in-game items.
EP can also be gained through Twitch drops and by predicting which teams will place higher than others. This voting mechanic, also known as Team Faceoff, does not require voting coupons and is open to all. Additional details .
