PUBG Mobile World Cup Heats Conclude, Main Event Looms

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 larger Gamers8 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. A significant portion of the $3 million prize pool remains up for grabs.

For those unfamiliar with the EWC, it's an esports tournament showcasing prominent games in Saudi Arabia. PUBG Mobile's inclusion has proven successful, with Alliance currently leading the pack.

The 12 qualifying teams will enjoy a one-week respite before the final stage commences from July 27th to 28th. The remaining 12 teams will compete in a "Survival Stage" on July 23rd and 24th, battling for two coveted spots in the final.

Global Impact and Future Prospects

While the EWC's overall impact on PUBG Mobile's global fanbase remains to be seen, the tournament has generated considerable buzz. However, it's important to note that the PUBG Mobile World Cup isn't the largest event on the game's esports calendar. Upcoming tournaments may potentially overshadow this event's long-term significance.

Nevertheless, the Survival Stage promises intense competition, with the eliminated teams vying for a return to the main stage. For those seeking other mobile gaming options while awaiting the EWC finals, a list of 2024's best mobile games (so far) is available for your perusal.
