With this achievement, FN Pocheon has confirmed its participation in the following events: PUBG Global Series Season 9, held from October 13 to 19; PUBG Global Series Season 10, taking place from October 27 to November 2; and the PUBG Global Championship (PGC) 2025, which will be held in Bangkok, Thailand, from November 28 to December 14.

In particular, as FN Pocheon will represent Korea in the PUBG Global Championship-often referred to as the "Esports World Cup"-domestic fans' expectations are rising even higher.

FN Pocheon currently operates professional teams in four disciplines: Valorant, Battlegrounds, e-Drone, and Pok?mon Unite. The team advanced to the 2025 Esports Saudi World Cup immediately after its founding ceremony in August, and with this latest result, they have now achieved consecutive qualifications for three global tournaments.

Pocheon City is pursuing various policies to foster esports as a future strategic growth industry. The city has established a training center (bootcamp) at its business center to promote interaction between professional players and local amateur and club players. Additionally, by creating an esports-themed park, Pocheon is providing an environment where citizens and tourists can easily enjoy esports. An esports experience booth will also be operated at the upcoming Pocheon Hantangang World Drone Festival in October.

Pocheon Mayor Baek Younghyeon stated, "Through FN Pocheon, which is of global caliber, we expect to drive the region's specialized high-tech science industry," adding, "We will continue to support students, citizens, and military personnel so that Pocheon can establish itself as an 'esports science city' where everyone can enjoy esports together."
