PUBG Mobile World Cup First Round Concludes with Main Event Imminent

PUBG Mobile Esports World Cup: 12 Teams Remain!

The first stage of the PUBG Mobile Esports World Cup (EWC), part of the larger Gamers8 event in Saudi Arabia, has concluded. The initial field of 24 teams has been cut in half, leaving 12 contenders vying for a share of the $3 million prize pool.

For those unfamiliar with the EWC, it's a significant esports tournament showcasing some of the biggest games. PUBG Mobile's participation has proven successful, with Alliance currently leading the pack.

Following this weekend's intense competition, the 12 qualifying teams will enjoy a one-week break before the final stage, scheduled for July 27th and 28th.

Global Impact

While the long-term impact of the PUBG Mobile World Cup on fan engagement remains to be seen, its presence at the EWC has generated considerable buzz. It's worth noting, however, that this isn't the largest event on the PUBG Mobile esports calendar. Other significant tournaments are planned for later this year, potentially overshadowing this event's overall impact.

The 12 eliminated teams will have another chance to compete in the Survival Stage on July 23rd and 24th. Two teams will earn a coveted spot in the main event during this high-stakes showdown.
