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

The first stage of the PUBG Mobile Esports World Cup tournament has concluded, narrowing the field from 24 teams down to a competitive 12. If you missed the excitement from Saudi Arabia this weekend, catch up now as the journey to the $3 million prize pool intensifies.

For those new to the event, the Esports World Cup (EWC) is an extension of Gamers8, a colossal gaming festival held in Saudi Arabia. The EWC aims to showcase top-tier esports, and PUBG Mobile has certainly lived up to the hype. Currently, Alliance leads the charge into the final stage, scheduled for July 27th to 28th, following a well-deserved one-week break for the qualifying teams.

While the global impact of the PUBG Mobile World Cup remains to be fully seen, the buzz around the Esports World Cup is undeniable. However, it's worth noting that despite its prestigious title, the PUBG Mobile World Cup isn't the largest event on the game's esports schedule. With other significant tournaments on the horizon, this event might soon be outshone.

For those eager for more action, don't miss the Survival Stage on July 23rd to 24th, where the 12 eliminated teams will battle for two coveted spots in the main event. It's set to be an intense showdown.
