Esports Tournament History: PUBG, BGMI, Free Fire and VALORANT

Key takeaways

• A world championship is not the same as a regional league or seasonal tournament.
• PUBG PC, PUBG Mobile and BGMI have distinct competition records.
• Year-by-year lists include source links and avoid claiming that an incomplete list represents every tournament ever held.

PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS (PC)

The PUBG Global Championship timeline records PGC winners from the modern series era and explains the context around the earlier PUBG Global Invitational. The competitive circuit also includes PUBG Global Series, PUBG Nations Cup and regional series; each has its own champion list. PUBG Mobile has a separate PMGC timeline at the PUBG Mobile championship history, while PC results remain in the PGC list.

BGMI: India’s competitive circuit

The BGMI tournament winners guide separates BGIS champions from BGMS champions. BGIS is a national-series event while BGMS is a distinct Masters Series. A team winning one is not automatically the champion of the other.

Free Fire global championships

The Free Fire World Series history lists major Battle Royale Global Finals, including the 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 editions. FFWS Clash Squad events are a different competitive format and should not be folded into the Battle Royale winners table.

VALORANT Champions Tour

The VALORANT Champions winners guide tracks the end-of-season world championship, from Acend in 2021 through the 2026 event. Masters events and regional leagues are tracked separately because they are important but distinct levels of the circuit.
