The PUBG Mobile Esports World Cup has concluded its thrilling first stage, narrowing down the field from 24 to just 12 teams. This weekend's action in Saudi Arabia was packed with intense competition, and if you missed it, you're in for a treat as we gear up for the final stage. The stakes are high with a $3 million prize pool up for grabs, and teams like Alliance are leading the charge into the next round.
New to the Esports World Cup and PUBG Mobile's involvement? Here's a quick overview: The EWC is an extension of the Gamers8 event, a massive gaming spectacle in Saudi Arabia designed to spotlight some of the world's biggest games. PUBG Mobile has been a standout, drawing crowds and competitors alike. After this weekend's matches, the remaining teams will enjoy a one-week break before the final showdown from July 27th to the 28th.
While it's too early to gauge the full impact of the PUBG Mobile World Cup on the global fanbase, the event has certainly made waves. It's worth noting, however, that despite its grand title, the PUBG Mobile World Cup is not the largest event on the game's esports calendar. With other significant tournaments on the horizon, this event might find itself in the shadow of future competitions.
Can't wait for the weekend? Mark your calendars for July 23rd to the 24th, when the 12 eliminated teams will battle it out in the Survival Stage for two coveted spots in the main event. It's set to be an exhilarating contest.
