PUBG Mobile Esports World Cup: Stage One Concludes, Twelve Teams Remain
The first stage of the PUBG Mobile Esports World Cup (EWC), part of the larger Gamers8 event in Saudi Arabia, has concluded. The initial field of 24 teams has been cut in half, leaving 12 contenders vying 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. PUBG Mobile is one of the featured games, and currently, Alliance holds the lead.
Following this weekend's intense competition, the qualifying teams will enjoy a one-week respite before the final stage commences from July 27th to 28th.

Global Impact
While the long-term impact of the PUBG Mobile World Cup on fan engagement remains to be seen, the event has generated significant buzz. It's important to note, however, that despite its name, this isn't the largest event on the PUBG Mobile esports calendar. With other major tournaments scheduled for 2024, its prominence might diminish over time.
For fans eager for more PUBG Mobile action before the final stage, a Survival Stage will take place on July 23rd and 24th. Twelve eliminated teams will compete for two coveted spots in the main event, promising a thrilling showdown.
