Krafton Celebrates The Expendables’ PGC 2024 Win
This latest set celebrates the stand-out PGC 2024 event, which saw The Expendables came first out of 24 teams globally, beating top teams such as TSM, FaZe Clan, Virtus.pro and more. The Expendables’ victory saw it claim the lion’s share of the prize pool, winning $593,447 (~£462,500) — and $10,000 (~£7,800) was also awarded to Clories for achieving MVP.
The Expendables originally placed third in the circuit standings after the first three circuits concluded, only behind Natus Vincere and Petrichor Road. The Grand Finals would see the Super Point System come into play.
This resulted in The Expendables regularly placing high, reaching the top four in eight out of the 18 games played and even claiming the Chicken Dinner (winning a game) twice in games 16 and 17, ending the Grand Finals with 141 points in total.
