While you're out there riding Shelby’s in Erangel, an exciting competition is brewing once again in Riyadh as PUBG Mobile returns for the Esports World Cup this summer. Mark your calendars from July 25th to August 3rd, where 24 of the world’s top squads will battle it out for the ultimate title and a share of the $3 million prize pool.
With Alpha7 Esports coming off a record-setting run in 2024, all eyes are on what promises to be another thrilling chapter in the mobile battle royale competition. The tournament kicks off with a Group Stage from July 25th to 27th, where teams are split into three groups of eight.
The top eight teams will advance directly into the Grand Finals, while the bottom sixteen will compete in the Survival Stage. From there, another eight teams will qualify for the final showdown, scheduled from August 1st through 3rd. Only one team will walk away with the championship and the lion’s share of the prize money.
Last year’s event saw Alpha7 Esports take the crown in dominant fashion. The Brazilian squad didn’t just win - they broke records, securing five Chicken Dinners across the 18-match Grand Finals and earning an additional $25,000 for their efforts. This brought their total haul to over $467,000, capping off a season-defining performance.
Their journey was marked by consistency and raw firepower. Alpha7 tied with Team Liquid for 91 points during the Group Stage, securing a direct spot in the Grand Finals. Once there, they placed in the top four in nearly half their matches, proving they weren’t just lucky - they were built for the long haul.
This year, the format remains the same, but the competition is anything but predictable. You can also sharpen your skills by downloading PUBG Mobile now for free on your preferred platform.
