By Nicholas Barth ·
Who won the PUBG Invitational Charity Showdown? Friday, July 27th saw the $1,000,000 PUBG Global Invitational 2018 Charity Showdown tournament take place, and we have the results covered for you.
The PUBG Global Invitational 2018 is currently underway, as 20 of the top professional teams for the battle royale game in the world have competed for $1,000,000 in a third person perspective event that saw Gen.G Gold take home the grand prize and are now playing in a $1,000,000 first person perspective event.
However, taking place between the two events at the PUBG Global Invitational 2018 was a $1,000,000 charity tournament that saw the likes of Tyler "Ninja" belvins, Michael "shroud" Grzesiek, Guy "Dr DisRespect" Beahm and other high profile streamers and professional players compete.
This PUBG Global Invitational Charity Showdown tournament consisted of four first person perspective matches played on the map of Erangel. Teams were made up of two high profile Twitch streamers and two professional PUBG players with each match of the PUBG Global Invitational Charity Showdown Tournament having a different team claim victory.
Match 1
Gen.G Gold were able to continue their dominant play at the Global Invitational Charity tournament, as the reigning third person champions Esca and Simsn were able to secure the first chicken dinner of the tournament with streamers Evermore and Jaunkorea.

Match 3
Securing a kill on shroud was a major defining moment for the victorious run to the chicken dinner in match three for the team that consisted of Ninja, JoshOG and Team Gates players Tyler “Mossy” Moss and Brandon “Mortify” Lewis, especially considering the unfortunate team kill that Ninja inflicted onto JoshOG earlier in the Global Invitational Charity Showcase tournament.
