Background

edit

In October 2023, it was announced at the New Global Sport Conference that the Gamers8 esports festival, organized by the Saudi Esports Federation, would be "upgraded" to the Esports World Cup, held during the summer of 2024.[1] In March 2024, it was announced that the PUBG Mobile mid-seasonal tournament, officially known as the PUBG Mobile World Cup would be included in the games line-up,[2] with the official format revealed in March 2024.[3]

The PUBG Mobile World Invitational (abbreviated PMWI), which preceded the PUBG Mobile World Cup, was held beginning in 2021, initially for the Saudi Esports Federation's "Gamers Without Borders" series. While the initial tournament was split to East and West divisions, it would become one tournament beginning in 2022, alongside the establishment of Gamers8.

The PMWC 2024 featured 28 teams and a total prize pool of US$3,000,000. The champion would also win an extra slot for their region in the PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2024 held in the United Kingdom.[4]

Final Standings

edit

Like with the PUBG Mobile World Invitational at Gamers8, the PUBG Mobile World Cup's $3,000,000 USD prizepool (tied with Honor of Kings and MLBB Men) is divided into separate categories. Each team will earn prizemoney based on how well they did in the Group Stage, Survival Stage and Main Tournament. The tournament's MVP earns $50,000 USD. Additionally, all teams and players can earn an additional $120,000 USD via the Record-Breaker Awards if they break a previous PUBG Mobile World Invitational record at the tournament; if these records are not broken, the prize money is split evenly between the 16 teams in the Main Tournament. The maximum amount of money a team may earn is $550,000 USD (if they finish first in the Group Stage, win the Main Tournament and break all team records), while the maximum an individual player may earn is $90,000 USD (if they win MVP and break all player records).
