We’ve got powerhouses from all over the world, and of course, defending champions South Korea, hoping to take home that coveted prize money and victory once again.
With some teams having players who have proved their mettle in the PUBG:Battlegrounds event of the Esports World Cup 2024, we can’t wait to see who’ll take the W next (or defend their titles).
Here is the full lineup of 16 teams for the PNC 2024:
Americas
| Argentina | Brazil | Canada | United States |
| Dr4FTk1NG | guizeraa | Shinboi | Snakers |

The USA team is one of the teams to watch for PUBG Nations Cup this year after members Kickstart and Shrimzy absolutely crushed it with Team Soniqs in the Esports World Cup 2024 PUBG:Battlegrounds finals! The team will also be coached by a Soniqs member, GUNNER, to fight for the win and some winner winner, chicken dinners.
Another team to beat is Brazil, with major players from Team Legacy making up a majority of the roster. Legacy players guizeraa, lfp1, and rbN swept the Copa Smirzera #8 teams clean last August 11, winning against powerhouse PUBG Team Soniqs. These players are about to face off with some major rivals, and we can’t wait to see them avenge themselves in this year’s PNC 2024!

The real team to beat? It’s South Korea, the reigning champions of the PUBG Nations Cup 2023!
Team players seoul, Heaven, and Inonix are making a comeback to keep that trophy locked tight in their home country. With three players also coming off straight from Kwangdong Freecs’ fight in EWC 2024 (placing 5th in the PUBG:Battlegrounds event), spectators can expect great things to come from the reigning champions!

More returning champions emerge as the United Kingdom comes back to try their hand at this year’s PUBG Nations Cup! After winning the PNC 2022 season, they arrived once more with a ferocious vengeance to fight for the trophy. The same roster is returning for PNC 2024, and you can bet it will be a bloody battle for that W.
APAC
| Australia | Indonesia | Thailand | Vietnam |
| Fludd | tRycK | Jacob | Himass |
| TGLTN | Happy | Nourinz | HaiSaki |
| luke12 | C1moy15G | Flukky | Taikonn |
| Monty | Awkarinnnnn | Lericz | Clories |
| Rain (C) | Ma4nn (C) | Luxury (C) | SsuBang (C) |
While this year’s APAC lineup has yet to win a PUBG Nations Cup, we recommend keeping an eye out for team Vietnam. They’re dominators of one of the most popular Esports games to date, and here’s why:
On top of three out of five players coming from CERBERUS Esports, who have thus far won two Global Series this year alone (PUBG Global Series 3 and APAC Qualifiers Phase 1), Vietnam also has a record of placing 3rd in last year’s Nations Cup and winning Week 2 of the AfreecaTV PUBG APAC Nations Scrim 2023.
With a track record like that, it’s only a matter of time before they steal the PUBG Nations Cup 2024 trophy from South Korea’s grasp!
PUBG Nations Cup 2024 Tournament Format
The PUBG Nations Cup 2024 is going to be a three-day battle royale extravaganza! Each day, we’ll see six intense matches, so that’s a total of 18 matches to look forward to. The team that’s on top of the leaderboard after the final match on Day 3 will be crowned the champions.
Players will battle it out for a win on four maps: Erangel, Miramar, Taego, and Rondo.
Here’s the schedule for the maps:
- Day 1: Miramar, Miramar, Taego, Rondo, Erangel, Erangel
- Day 2: Erangel, Erangel, Rondo, Taego, Miramar, Miramar
