PGS 6 Grand Finals: Who Will Be the Champion?
As the first half of the 2026 PGS circuit concludes, three teams stand out as absolute title contenders for PGS 6: Natus Vincere (NAVI), Virtus.pro (VP), and 17Gaming.
Natus Vincere: The God of War
NAVI, led by their ace Hakatory, is known for their overwhelming combat prowess. They fear no fight, overcoming disadvantageous situations through sheer gunplay. Their dramatic comeback championship in PGS 2, with back-to-back Chicken Dinners, showcased their dominance, including a 13-point deficit comeback in Match 10 on Miramar with an 18-kill Chicken Dinner. Hakatory's individual skill is exceptional, securing 9 Man of the Match titles and the Kill Leader title in PGS 5. The team's DPM of 1,007 across 45 matches in the '26 PGS Final Stage highlights their consistent damage output. While Hakatory is their core, recent aggressive performances from spyrro and boost1k- have mitigated the team's vulnerability if Hakatory is picked off early.
Virtus.pro: The Master of Rotation
Virtus.pro excels in understanding the fundamental rules of PUBG, demonstrating clean plays, refreshing survival strategies, and rotations that eliminate opponents' options. After consecutive Final Stage eliminations in PGS 1 and 2, VP refined their strategies, leading to their PGS 3 championship. Their average survival time of 25 minutes and 56 seconds across 35 matches is significantly higher than the tournament average. VP's meticulous planning was exemplified in a Taego match where they outlasted opponents in a building-ending circle using Level 3 and 2 Jammer Packs. They are also strategic users of Gliders for scouting and maximizing squad preservation. Their ability to proactively design battlefield situations, as seen in PGS 5 Final Stage D1 M2 on Miramar, makes them a formidable opponent. Despite their focus on survival, VP's combat prowess is strong, averaging 5.9 kills per match and a DPM of 1,132 during their PGS 3 championship run.
17Gaming: The Standard
China's PUBG powerhouse, 17Gaming, defied expectations by winning PGS 5 despite roster challenges, with Coach Akuma stepping in during the Survival Stage. Their strength lies in consistently making optimal moves, maintaining favored positions with added stability, and flawless world-class grenade usage. Led by mastermind Lilghost, 17Gaming makes composed yet profound decisions. In a Rondo match during Final Stage D1 M4, they meticulously checked the kill feed and capitalized on opportunities, using continuous grenades to wipe DNS and secure a Chicken Dinner. Their average of 18.86 damage per grenade across 30 Final Stage matches highlights their precision. Furthermore, their strategy of holding the edge and utilizing the Porter vehicle on Taego for supplies and cover has become noticeably smoother. With top-tier individual forms from Xwudd, tiantian, and Wenbo, 17Gaming presents a formidable challenge.
Conclusion
While there are no absolutes in PUBG, data and current momentum suggest that Natus Vincere, Virtus.pro, and 17Gaming are the strongest contenders for the PGS 6 trophy. The battlegrounds of PGS 6 will ultimately reveal the champion.
