PUBG Mobile Esports World Cup: Stage One Concludes, 12 Teams Advance
The first stage of the PUBG Mobile Esports World Cup (EWC), held as part of the Gamers8 festival in Saudi Arabia, has concluded. The initial field of 24 teams has been whittled down to 12, setting the stage for a thrilling final showdown. With a $3 million prize pool up for grabs, the remaining teams are vying for a significant share of the winnings.
For those unfamiliar with the EWC, it's a Gamers8 spin-off designed to showcase prominent esports titles in Saudi Arabia. PUBG Mobile's inclusion has proven successful, drawing significant attention. Currently, Alliance leads the pack.
Following a week's respite, the final stage of the PUBG Mobile World Cup will commence from July 27th to 28th. Before then, however, a Survival Stage will be held on July 23rd and 24th, giving the 12 eliminated teams a chance to reclaim two coveted spots in the main event. This promises to be a highly competitive and exciting phase.
Global Impact:
While the long-term impact on fan engagement remains to be seen, the PUBG Mobile World Cup has generated considerable buzz. It's important to note, however, that despite its name, this tournament isn't the largest event on PUBG Mobile's esports calendar. With other major events scheduled for later this year, the EWC's prominence might be somewhat eclipsed.
Nevertheless, the Survival Stage offers a compelling spectacle for fans eager for more action before the final. For those seeking more mobile gaming options in the interim, a list of the best mobile games of 2024 (so far) is available for your perusal.
