The international PUBG Mobile Global Open 2026 Season 2 tournament has concluded in Lahore, Pakistan. The North American team Wolves Esports became the champions, claiming the main trophy and $60,000 in prize money from the $500,000 total prize pool.

The colors of the Wolves team are defended by Ukrainian esports athletes:

The squad snatched victory in the 12th match of the Grand Finals on the Miramar map thanks to the "Smash" rule. This format dictates that a team must first reach a certain point threshold to obtain contender status (match point), after which they must win a map. Wolves Esports successfully met these conditions in a final 3v3 showdown against the S2G team.

As a result, Wolves Esports secured the championship with 86 points. Second place went to AK Gold Esports, who accumulated more points (94) but failed to be the first to win a map after crossing the point threshold. 4K Esports finished the tournament in third place with 88 points.

The Ukrainian team Team NEXT also competed in this tournament. The squad finished in 29th-30th place in the overall standings and earned $2,500 in prize money.

The Grand Finals MVP title was awarded to the Iraqi esports athlete ALA from 4K Esports, for whom this was a debut performance at international tournaments.

As a reminder, Dplus KIA and Gen.G become the first Worlds 2026 quarterfinalists, while G2 and HLE face elimination
