PUBG Mobile Esports World Cup: Stage One Concludes, 12 Teams Remain
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 narrowed down to 12, setting the stage for a thrilling final showdown. These 12 teams will compete for a share of the $3 million prize pool.
For those unfamiliar with the EWC, it's an esports event designed to showcase major games in Saudi Arabia. PUBG Mobile's participation has proven highly successful, with Alliance currently leading the pack.
Following this weekend's intense competition, the qualifying teams will enjoy a one-week respite before the final stage commences from July 27th to 28th.
Global Impact and Future Events
While the long-term impact of the PUBG Mobile World Cup on fan engagement remains to be seen, its announcement has generated significant buzz. It's important to note, however, that despite its name, this tournament isn't the largest event on the PUBG Mobile esports calendar. Other major events are scheduled for later this year, potentially overshadowing the EWC's impact.
For fans eager for more action, a "Survival Stage" will be held on July 23rd and 24th. This second-chance qualifier will see the 12 eliminated teams battle for two coveted spots in the final stage, promising intense competition.
