At the end it was Divine Esports that have emerged as the best team in the region, securing their third PSC trophy in last four seasons after showing a great performance, especially on Sanhok ( Top 4 finish in each of three games played there, backed up by 27 kills ).

Joining Divine at the podium of PSC Stage 3 was Armory Gaming, which had a up-and-down results in the first two days before stepping up on the last day, averaging 11.2 pt per game there, and Sky Gaming Daklak, which have finished at the top of Online Stage and showed their fighting strength throughout the event with their teamfight-oriented playstyle, although it came at a cost of high placements ( only a single 2nd place and two 3rd place round finishes at LAN ). Luckily for them, as both Divine and AG have already been qualified to the PGC as the winners of PSC Phase 1 and Phase 2 respectively, Sky Gaming Daklak have received the SEA region’s final invite to the Global Championship.

Over at the land Down Under, the first week of Phase 3 Regular Season gave fans a promise of a close battle for the first place, with Youngbloods, Vendetta and Charm Farmers taking nine out of ten games played in that week, and the defending champions in Athletico Esports not getting a single Chicken Dinner and finishing behind them. From week two onward however, Athletico was calling the shots in the league, racking up 7 Chicken Dinners and finishing with a huge lead over the chasing group of Charm Farmers, Vendetta, Youngbloods, Team Bliss and Team Immunity ( ex-Hell Yeah Brother ).

This however is just a prelude to a deciding event of OCE’s 2019 season — A two-day, twenty-game LAN Finals in Sydney on October 26–27, featuring the top 12 teams of Phase 3 Regular Season and top 4 teams of ongoing Last Chance Qualifier.

And yes, you have read the last paragraph correctly — teams will have to play 10 tournament games in each day of the Finals.

While there’s still one more week left to go in the Regular Season of PML Phase 3, and it’s still far from decided who which sixteen teams will advance to the Grand Finals, it’s all but confirmed that Ahq Esports will once again finish this stage at the first place. Even after going the roster changes ahead of Phase 3, the red-and-white train is heading for yet another 1st place finish in their region, with at least a single Chicken Dinner in each of the six playdays they’ve been playing so fat ( 9 wins in 24 games total, five of them at Miramar ). However with the LAN Finals starting with just small bonus points from Regular Season, there’s a window for the other top teams in GEX, Team Curson, Sennheiser Victory Fox, Team Sades and MP5 to dethrone the Ahq dynasty instead of just battling for the PML’s second spot at the PGC.

Latin America — LATAM PUBG Pro Series ( LPPS )

Phase 3 Playdays : October 5–20 ( GLL Latam Masters ), October 3–18 ( ESL LA League Season 4 )

PGC Slots : 2 ( Winner of GLL LATAM Masters + Winner of ESL LA League )

Stream : https://www.twitch.tv/bblesports ( ESL LA ) ; https://www.twitch.tv/GLL ( GLL LATAM )

Hey Latin America, there’s good news and the bad news about your Phase 3 tournaments.

Good news are that everything has been finalized and you’ll be playing throughout October.

Bad news — You’ll have to play 60 games within 3 weeks, and there’ll be no LAN this season.

That aside, Phase 3 of LPPS looks interesting, with only minor changes happening in the top teams of the previous phase. First, we have fully-Brazilian teams in Red Canids ( ex-Brazilian Crusaders ), that have kept their roster intact, and Furia Esports that have improved their fragging depth by signing former Brazilian Crusader in “rogiwOw”, and will be aiming to win their first Circuit title after finishing 2nd in ESL LA League Season 2 and 3rd in both LA League Season 3 and GLL LATAM Masters Phase 2. Also battling for the trip to California would be two LATAM representatives at the GLL Grand Slam — former team Bitloft, currently playing under the Japish Japish name, who have replaced “Erznxr” with a former member of Team Singularity in “RiboxD”, and Singularity themselves, which have filled their open slot in the roster with “Quick”.
