The Expendables’ Road to Glory
The Expendables’ win at PGC 2024 was more than just a tournament triumph; it was a defining moment for APAC PUBG Esports. Competing against 23 other top-tier teams from around the globe, including esports powerhouses such as TSM, FaZe Clan, and Virtus.pro, the Vietnamese roster outperformed all expectations.
During the tournament, The Expendables showcased remarkable consistency under the Super Point System. In the Grand Finals, they placed in the top four in eight out of 18 matches, securing two Chicken Dinners in Games 16 and 17. Their relentless performance earned them a tournament-topping 141 points, clinching the title and a commanding victory.
Their championship run also delivered substantial rewards. The Expendables claimed $593,447 (~£462,500) as their share of the prize pool. Additionally, Nguyễn “Clories” Long Hảo was awarded $10,000 (~£7,800) for being the tournament’s MVP, further cementing his and the team’s status in PUBG esports history.
