As we approach the weekend, many of you are likely planning your leisure time with family and friends, or perhaps even revisiting your favorite games on your preferred platform. However, if you have some time to spare and are a fan of high-caliber esports action, you might want to tune into the PUBG Mobile Global Open (PMGO) Qualifier Finals, kicking off this weekend.
Technically, it's the Open Qualifiers Final, but after narrowing down from over 90,000 players to 80 teams across five regions, this stage will see only 12 teams advance to the prelims, and from there, hopefully, to the main event of the PUBG Mobile Global Open.
Scheduled for April 12th to 13th, with the prelims taking place in the preceding two days, this event promises to be a thrilling spectacle. PUBG Mobile has solidified its status as a major force in esports, with its developers pushing the boundaries by bringing the mobile battle royale back for another shot at the Esports World Cup.
It's challenging to gauge how well esports resonates with the average gamer. Despite the success of events like the Overwatch League in the past, many players didn't connect with it, and it gradually faded into the background.
On the other hand, PUBG Mobile enjoys massive popularity in Asia, making it the perfect region for a dedicated esports audience. With the upcoming Esports World Cup on the horizon, the PMGO is expected to attract a substantial number of devoted fans.
