As the weekend approaches, you might be planning to spend quality time with family and friends or catching up on your favorite games. However, if you're an esports enthusiast, make sure to carve out some time for the PUBG Mobile Global Open (PMGO) Qualifier Finals, kicking off this weekend. This thrilling event is a crucial step towards one of the most prestigious competitions in the PUBG Mobile esports calendar.
The PMGO Qualifier Finals are the culmination of a massive journey, starting with over 90,000 players and now narrowed down to 80 teams across five regions. Only 12 teams will advance from this stage to the prelims, and ultimately, to the main event scheduled for April 12th to 13th, with the prelims happening in the preceding two days. This competition promises to be a spectacle, reflecting the growing dominance of PUBG Mobile in the esports world.
PUBG Mobile's impact on esports is undeniable, particularly in Asia where it enjoys a massive following. The region is a hotbed for dedicated esports fans, and with the upcoming Esports World Cup on the horizon, the PMGO is expected to attract a global audience. The game's developers are committed to pushing the boundaries, as evidenced by their efforts to include PUBG Mobile in the Esports World Cup once again.
