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 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 Gamers8 spin-off designed to showcase prominent esports titles in Saudi Arabia. PUBG Mobile's participation has proven 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 EWC's overall impact remains to be seen, the PUBG Mobile World Cup has generated significant buzz. It's important to note, however, that it's not the largest event on PUBG Mobile's esports calendar. With other major tournaments scheduled for later this year, its prominence might be somewhat eclipsed.
Nevertheless, the excitement continues! On July 23rd and 24th, the 12 eliminated teams will compete in the Survival Stage for two coveted spots in the final stage. This promises to be a thrilling showdown.
