We wanted to create the largest tournament in the world with the world's most played game – PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. We are immensely proud to announce GLL Grand Slam: PUBG Classic. It will be the largest tournament by us to date and we are very happy to welcome fans worldwide to follow the tournament on site in Stockholm or online," said Simon Sundén, Vice President and Head of Esports and GLL at G-Loot.

"With previous GLL events in 2018, G-Loot has clearly demonstrated that they are among the most innovative PUBG tournament organizers in the world, and we are proud to have them as a premier partner hosting a PUBG Classic in 2019," said Jake Sin, Global Esports Manager for PUBG Corporation. "We are thrilled to work with G-Loot to bring a world-class PUBG event to Stockholm for the first time."
