Turkey's 6 Teams at PMGC 2026

Who are the PMGC 2026 Turkey teams, and why do they enter at different stages? Turkey has 6 clubs in the field, with ULF Esports already through to the Grand Finals.

I'd separate the strongest global result from the safest route. S2G arrive as World Cup champions, while ULF's home qualifier win removes the risk of league-stage elimination.

PMGC 2026 Turkey Teams

Turkey's 6 entries account for about 15.4% of the 39-team field. Only ULF have a guaranteed finals place; the other 5 still have to qualify through the league.

The route chain follows Liquipedia's Yükselen Yıldızlar allocation notes. Yükselen Yıldızlar means Rising Stars, and its result changed 3 teams' starting positions:

• ULF won the tournament and moved from the Gauntlet into the Grand Finals.
• Gaming Stars inherited ULF's Gauntlet place, leaving a group-stage berth open.
• BRX MSM received that berth as the next eligible Rising Stars finisher.

That explains why BRX qualified from 5th. BUF finished 2nd at Rising Stars, with Gaming Stars 3rd and Selibon 4th, but those clubs already had routes into PMGC.

The full PMGC 2026 schedule and format covers the rest of the field. For Turkey, the distinction that matters is which clubs still face an elimination stage before Istanbul's final weekend.

Turkey's Qualification Points

S2G led Turkey's season ranking by 95 points. Liquipedia's Turkey qualification ledger combines regional results with the global circuit, including PMGO and the World Cup.

These are qualification points earned for tournament finishes. They aren't match-score totals.

The biggest gap among these teams is between ULF and Gaming Stars: 212 minus 71 equals 141 points. Gaming Stars then lead Selibon by just 6, from 71 minus 65.

I'd treat those gaps as context for the entry list rather than a prediction of a short PMGC stage. They reflect different tournament results and opportunities across a whole season.

BRX MSM's place came through Rising Stars, so they sit outside this top-5 points route.

The 6 Turkish Teams

S2G and ULF bring the clearest global results. The regional placements below follow Liquipedia's Turkey tournament tables; the official PMGC draw settles the group assignments.

The Datagrounds team directory connects the clubs with their recorded tournament appearances.

S2G Esports

S2G have the strongest headline result in this group: the 2026 PUBG Mobile World Cup title. The publisher's World Cup release records 154 match points and 130 PMGC qualification points from that win.

• Won the Season 2 Turkey regional final.
• Finished the qualification season on 307 points.
• Start in the Gauntlet despite winning the World Cup.

Their season total works out to 19 + 24 + 130 + 120 + 14 = 307. The World Cup and Season 2 regional win supplied 250 of those points.

I'd make S2G my first Turkish team to follow for title contention. Their immediate task is a top-6 Gauntlet finish, which would put them alongside ULF without another qualifying stage.

ULF Esports

ULF combine a proven global final with the safest entry point. Free Press Journal's PMGO Season 1 results place them 2nd on 104 points, behind 4Thrives on 122.

• Won the Season 1 Turkey regional final and finished 2nd in Season 2.
• Won Rising Stars and took the direct Grand Finals berth.

The Datagrounds PMGO Season 1 record has their complete 12-match final, matching the published 104. They finished 18 points behind the champion, from 122 minus 104.

That runner-up result gives ULF more substance than a host invitation alone would suggest. They now avoid every league-stage elimination cut.

Gaming Stars Esports

Gaming Stars get an extra chance to reach the final after ULF's promotion. They enter the Gauntlet on a 71-point season, although they finished 6th in the Season 2 Turkey regional final.

For Gaming Stars, a finish outside the Gauntlet's top 6 still sends them into groups. Their promotion buys an additional route to the final before elimination becomes possible.

BRX MSM Esports

BRX MSM took the Rising Stars group berth from 5th after the slot reshuffle. They had finished 8th in the Season 2 Turkey regional final, as listed on Liquipedia.

Group Green gives them a different starting field from Selibon and BUF. It includes FURIA and eArena, so I'd judge BRX against the group cut rather than against Turkey's season ranking.

Selibon Esports

Selibon finished 3rd in the Season 2 Turkey regional final and 4th in the season points ranking. They start in Group Red alongside BUF.

The Datagrounds Season 2 Turkey event gives context for that regional run. Their 55 qualification points from the regional final supplied most of their 65-point season total.

I'd pay attention to whether that late regional result carries into the global lobby. Their group also includes Alpha7 and Dplus.

BUF Esports

BUF qualified through the 5th-place points route, then finished 2nd at Rising Stars. That latter result didn't move them ahead of ULF, because the direct finals berth went to the tournament winner.

Their season qualification total was 43, only 4 ahead of Regnum Carya's 39. BUF and Selibon now face the same group advancement requirements.

I think the Rising Stars runner-up finish makes them worth following beyond their low season-points total. It still leaves them needing a global qualifying result.

Turkey's PMGC Schedule

Turkey's teams begin across 4 different dates. The official November 12 group draw confirms the Green and Red assignments and their match days.

The exact Gauntlet dates and league match counts follow Liquipedia's PMGC stage listing. Each league stage lasts 12 matches, which gives ULF a substantial reduction in competitive exposure:

• S2G or Gaming Stars reach the final after 12 league matches if they qualify from the Gauntlet.
• A route through the Gauntlet and groups takes 24 league matches.
• A route through the Gauntlet, groups and Last Chance takes 36 league matches.
• ULF play 0 league matches before the Grand Finals.

That last route is 12 + 12 + 12 = 36 matches in which a Gauntlet entrant might have to compete. The extra stages also offer match practice, so I'd be cautious about assuming the bye makes ULF better prepared.

Selibon and BUF share the same group and therefore compete for the same advancement places. BRX start separately, while S2G and Gaming Stars' group destinations depend on their Gauntlet finishes.

What I'd Watch Next

I'd start with Gaming Stars' distance from 6th in the Gauntlet. Their inherited berth becomes especially valuable if they turn it into a finals place on November 27.

For ULF, I'd compare their opening finals performance with S2G's if S2G join them. The official PUBG MOBILE Esports channel is where I'd follow the broadcasts as the field narrows.
