They and 30 other teams from across Europe, China, Southeast Asia, North America, Latin America, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan received the invitation to join PUBG Global Invitational.S, or PGI.S, scheduled to take place between Feb. 2 to Mar. 28.

Both teams landed in Seoul on Saturday and are undergoing quarantine, according to PUBG Vietnam's latest Facebook update.

Thailand's Buriram United Esports, Attack All Around, and Daytrade Gaming are the three other SEA representatives.

The eight-week tournament features a minimum total prize pool of $3.5 million and a 30 percent revenue share from the pick’em challenge betting on team results.
