London, 25th September, 2026 - The next step in the growth of Western European esports for PUBG MOBILE Esports has concluded, with the 2026 PUBG MOBILE Global Open (PMGO) Western Europe Finals coming to an exciting close. British team Hustler Crew have emerged victorious after 18 nail-biting matches, taking home the lion’s share of the $23,000 prize pool and a slot at the 2026 PMGO Season 2. They will be joined by Ukrainian team NEXT, who fought their way through to second place in the overall event rankings.
After a string of intense matches through the 2026 PUBG MOBILE Club Open (PMCO) Western Europe qualifiers, 16 teams faced off, with Boars Gaming kicking off the action and taking home the first match’s Winner Winner Chicken Dinner. The 2026 PMGO WEU Finals was a key milestone in the partnership between G2 Esports and PUBG MOBILE, organised by G2’s award-winning media house 62.
Hustler Crew entered the running with a WWCD in the second match thanks to a devastating grenade throw, before One for All contested their dominance and claimed the third match for themselves with a skillful flank on remaining team NEXT using vehicles to reposition. After six matches, Hustler Crew set the pace for the rest of the weekend at first place for day one, followed by Killer Crew and Boars Gaming.
Day two saw Boars Gaming return with momentum in the seventh match, scoring 10 eliminations and claiming the day’s first WWCD. The excitement continued with Nasty Bullets scoring the win in matches eight and ten, while Magma Esports, 1715 Team, Legion Reborn and NEXT all fought valiantly to stay in competition for the top spot and took home at least one WWCD each.
Despite Magma Esports making an impressive showing in day three with the first two WWCDs, Hustler Crew couldn’t be stopped, scoring 109 eliminations over the three days and finishing the Finals off with 157 points due to their consistent success over the weekend. MAVERICK Esports’ MVŪFAK3RRR was awarded MVP of the event for racking up eliminations contributing to his team’s position in 3rd place overall, walking home with 61 eliminations, almost 20 over the next highest.
With their impressive performances bringing them to 1st and 2nd place, Hustler Crew and NEXT will now make their way to the 2026 PMGO S2, with the Main Event taking place in Pakistan next month. There, they will test their skills against 30 other teams from across the globe with a $500,000 prize pool on the line and opportunities to take centre stage at the flagship event of the PUBG MOBILE Esports tournament circuit, the 2026 PUBG MOBILE Global Championship.
