As we approach the weekend, you might be planning to spend quality time with family and friends or perhaps delving into your gaming backlog on your preferred platform. However, if you're a fan of elite esports action, you might want to carve out some time to watch the PUBG Mobile Global Open (PMGO) Qualifier Finals, kicking off this weekend.
This stage, officially known as the Open Qualifiers Final, has narrowed down the competition from an astounding 90,000 players to 80 teams spread across five regions. This weekend's event will further streamline the field, with only 12 teams advancing to the prelims, and from there, hopefully, to the main event of the PUBG Mobile Global Open.
Scheduled for April 12th to 13th, with prelims in the preceding two days, this tournament promises to be a thrilling spectacle. PUBG Mobile has solidified its status as a powerhouse in the esports world, with its developers actively pushing the mobile battle royale game onto the global stage, including a return at the upcoming Esports World Cup.
The impact of esports on the average player can be hard to gauge. While the Overwatch League once enjoyed great success, it eventually faded into the background for many. In contrast, PUBG Mobile enjoys massive popularity in Asia, a region renowned for its dedicated esports fans. With the Esports World Cup on the horizon, the PMGO is sure to attract a fervent global audience.
