Thirty two teams played for a $500,000 prize pool, and the broadcast peaked at more than 1.1 million concurrent viewers, a record for the series.
Wolves Esports won the 2026 PUBG Mobile Global Open Season 2, sealing the title with a Chicken Dinner, the game's term for a match win, in Match 12 of the grand finals in Lahore. The organiser announced the result on 26 October.
The team took the $60,000 first prize from a $500,000 pool, along with 150 PMGC points, which count toward qualification for the Global Championship. The win also gives Wolves a place at the PUBG Mobile Global Championship in December, which carries a $3 million prize pool and will be held in Turkey. The first prize is 12 percent of the pool.
The decisive game was played on Miramar, and Wolves finished it with eight eliminations. It triggered the Smash Rule, under which a team that has passed the match point threshold takes the title by winning a game.
