Round one of the PUBG Mobile World Cup is complete, with the main event coming soon

PUBG Mobile Esports World Cup: 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 24 teams have been whittled down to a final 12, setting the stage for an exciting final showdown. With a $3 million prize pool up for grabs, the competition is fierce.

For those unfamiliar with the EWC, it's a Gamers8 spin-off designed to showcase major esports titles in Saudi Arabia. PUBG Mobile's participation has proven successful, with Alliance currently leading the pack.

Following this weekend's intense matches, the qualifying teams will enjoy a one-week respite before the final stage commences from July 27th to 28th. The 12 eliminated teams aren't out of the running entirely; they'll compete in a "Survival Stage" on July 23rd and 24th for two coveted spots in the main event. This promises to be a thrilling battle.

While the EWC's overall impact on PUBG Mobile's esports scene remains to be seen, the tournament has generated significant buzz. However, it's important to note that the PUBG Mobile World Cup isn't the largest event on the game's calendar, and its prominence might be overshadowed by upcoming competitions.
