Announcement for participating regions of PBIC 2026

02 Jan. 2026



Dear Troopers!

We are excited to introduce the participating regions of PBIC 2026.

Azerbaijan & Türkiye
- Brazil
- Indonesia
- Philippines
- Russia
- Thailand

Six teams from six regions will collide in Korea to build their own dynasty.

If the Azerbaijan & Türkiye region wins PBIC 2026, they will become the first region in PBIC history to achieve a three-peat championship, establishing the most formidable dynasty the tournament has ever seen.

Thailand holds the record for the most PBIC championships to date. However, since lifting the trophy in Korea in 2018, they have yet to reclaim the title. Returning to the very place where they last triumphed, this could be the moment for Thailand to rebuild their dynasty.

Indonesia have consistently been among the strongest contenders for the championship throughout PBIC history. From 2017 to 2024, they reached the Grand Final every single tournament, including an all-Indonesia final in 2023. However, their reign was challenged when Azerbaijan claimed the title on Indonesia’s home ground in 2024. Now, Indonesia returns with one goal: to reclaim the throne and declare themselves the greatest dynasty of all time.

Russia was the first region ever to become back-to-back PBIC champions, achieving this feat in 2013 and 2014. A decade later, they return with unfinished business—to prove that their dynasty is not over and to begin a new chapter of dominance.

Brazil shocked the world in 2019 by capturing their first PBIC championship. Many believed it marked the beginning of a new dynasty in Point Blank. Although they have not claimed another title since, PBIC 2026 presents the perfect opportunity for Brazil to prove that their victory was no coincidence—and that the dynasty belongs to them.

Philippines have yet to claim a PBIC trophy, but they have consistently demonstrated their potential in past tournaments. PBIC 2026 could be the ideal stage for them to surprise the world and prove that they belong in any discussion about who will build the next dynasty.

Stay tuned for more information!
