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 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.
This weekend's competition saw intense battles for a share of the $3 million prize pool. For those unfamiliar with the EWC, it's a Gamers8 spin-off designed to showcase major esports titles in Saudi Arabia, with PUBG Mobile being a key participant.
Currently, Alliance leads the pack. The 12 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 on PUBG Mobile's global fanbase remains to be seen, the tournament has generated significant buzz. It's important to note, however, that the PUBG Mobile World Cup isn't the largest event on the game's esports calendar, and its prominence might be eclipsed by upcoming competitions.
The 12 eliminated teams will have another chance to compete for two coveted spots in the main event during the Survival Stage, scheduled for July 23rd and 24th. This promises to be a highly competitive and dramatic event.
