PUBG Mobile Global Open Finals Qualifiers Start This Weekend

As we head into the weekend, many of you are likely planning your leisure time with family and friends or perhaps exploring your backlog of games on your favorite platform. However, if you have a moment and are a fan of high-caliber esports, you might want to tune into the PUBG Mobile Global Open (PMGO) Qualifier Finals, kicking off this weekend.

Officially dubbed the Open Qualifiers Final, this stage of the competition has seen the field narrow from over 90,000 players down to 80 teams spread across five regions. This weekend's event will determine which 12 teams will advance to the prelims and, hopefully, make it to the PMGO main event.

Mark your calendars: the main event is scheduled for April 12th to 13th, with the prelims happening in the two days leading up to it. This tournament is shaping up to be a thrilling spectacle. PUBG Mobile has solidified its status as a powerhouse in the esports world, with its organizers even bringing the mobile battle royale back for another round at the Esports World Cup.

It's challenging to gauge the overall interest in esports among the average player. Despite the success of the Overwatch League in its heyday, many players didn't connect with it, and it gradually faded into the background. In contrast, PUBG Mobile enjoys massive popularity in Asia, where you'll find a fervent esports community. With the upcoming Esports World Cup on the horizon, the PMGO is sure to attract a dedicated global audience.
