Player Unknown's Battlegrounds' Continental Series is extending its 2020 esports calendar by adding the PUBG Continental Series 3 in November. As with previous tournaments, the Series consists of four regional tournaments, each with a $200,000 prize pool.
The regions remain the same as in Series 2, meaning matches in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Asia will feature in PCS 3. A statement from the tournament cited "overwhelming fan support" as the driving factor behind the addition of an extra Continental Series in 2020. As well as the new tournament, Series 2 has also been extended, with the Grand Finals featuring 24 matches per region, four matches per day, played over the course of three weeks.
A qualifying stage has also been added for Series 2, which will begin on August 7 and conclude by August 16. In the European series, FaZe Clan, TSM, Team Liquid, ENCE, Natus Vincere, and Raise Your Edge are amongst the most notable names confirmed.
