PUBG Mobile World Cup: Round One Concludes, Main Event Looms

PUBG Mobile Esports World Cup: Stage One Concludes, 12 Teams Remain

The first stage of the PUBG Mobile Esports World Cup (EWC), a Gamers8 spin-off event in Saudi Arabia, has concluded. The initial field of 24 teams has been reduced to 12, setting the stage for a thrilling final showdown. These twelve teams will compete for a share of the $3 million prize pool.

For those unfamiliar with the EWC, it's a major esports tournament showcasing popular games in Saudi Arabia. PUBG Mobile's participation has proven successful, with Alliance currently leading the pack.

Following a week-long break, the final stage of the PUBG Mobile World Cup will commence from July 27th to 28th. Before then, however, the 12 eliminated teams will have a chance to re-enter the competition. On July 23rd and 24th, they'll battle it out in the Survival Stage for two coveted spots in the main event. This promises to be a highly competitive and exciting phase.

Global Impact and Future Events

While the EWC's overall impact is yet to be fully assessed, the PUBG Mobile World Cup has generated significant buzz. It's important to note, however, that this event isn't the largest on PUBG Mobile's esports calendar. With other major tournaments planned for 2024, its prominence might be somewhat eclipsed.

Nevertheless, the Survival Stage offers a compelling preview of the intense competition to come. For those seeking more mobile gaming action in the meantime, be sure to check out our list of the best mobile games of 2024.
