Team Korea emerged victorious in the PUBG Nations Cup, securing their first-ever win at the Sangam Afreeca Colosseum in Seoul on Sunday. <\/p>\n

This win holds special significance for Team Korea, with it coming four years after a near-miss at the same tournament.<\/p>\n

The PUBG Nations Cup is a premier Esports event that draws 16 top-tier teams to compete in Player Unknown\u2019s Battlegrounds (PUBG<\/a>). <\/p>\n

In this high-stakes player-versus-player shooter game, up to 100 participants vie for survival in an intense battle, after being dropped out of a plane.<\/p>\n

Kicking off the event on Friday, Team Korea set the stage alight from the get-go, consistently delivering strong performances. The team, comprising of players Cho Gi-yeol, Park Jung-young, Na Hee-joo, and Kim Tae-sung and guided by coach Shin Myong-gwan, notched up 49 points on the inaugural day, placing them in fourth spot. They further upped their game the following day, amassing 58 points and claiming the top position.<\/p>\n

The nail-biting finale witnessed Team Korea maintaining their position. In the 14th match, they stood out by ensuring all four of their players remained until the end. In a defining moment, they eliminated all four players from Team Thailand.<\/p>\n

With an impressive tally of 172 points, Team Korea clinched the prestigious Nations Cup title. Cho Gi-yeol’s outstanding performance, boasting 34 kills and a staggering 7,208 damage, earned him the MVP accolade for the tournament.<\/p>\n

Defending champs, Team United Kingdom, had to settle for the second spot with 140 points, narrowly followed by Vietnam with 139 points. Argentina secured the fourth position with a total of 133 points.<\/p>\n

This victory has provided Team Korea with a moment of redemption. In the 2019 edition, they faltered on the final day, relinquishing their leading position and allowing Russia to be crowned champions.<\/p>\n

This latest triumph marks a significant achievement for Korean PUBG, as it’s the first international title clinched by a Korean team since 2019 \u2013 the previous honor being the 2019 PUBG Global Championship<\/a>, bagged by Gen. G.<\/p>\n

The PUBG Nations Cup<\/a> victory came with a hefty cash prize, with Team Korea pocketing $100,000 from the event’s total prize pool of $300,000. <\/p>\n
