Interestingly, some of the previous PUBG Mobile champions struggled to perform well in this year’s World Cup. Thailand’s Vampire Esports, the back-to-back champions of the 2022 and 2023 PUBG MOBILE World Invitational (PMWI), could only manage a 7th-place finish. Similarly, IHC Esports, the 2023 PUBG MOBILE Global Championship (PMGC) winners, fell to 11th place despite their collaboration with Al-Ula FC.
In terms of viewership, the tournament did exceptionally well. According to Esports Charts, the event recorded 8.95 million hours watched and an average of 205,200 viewers over 44 hours of airtime. These impressive numbers make it the most popular PUBG Mobile event of 2024 and the fourth most popular since 2023. It peak at 566,118 on day 1 of the finale.
What’s next for PUBG Mobile esports?
As the dust settles on the World Cup, fans are already looking forward to the next big event. The 2024 PUBG MOBILE Global Championship (PMGC) is set to take place at the ExCel Auditorium in London, England, later this year. With a whopping $3 million prize pool, it promises to be another thrilling spectacle for PUBG Mobile enthusiasts.
Additionally, Level Infinite has announced a new circuit based on PUBG MOBILE’s Metro Royal game mode. This new competition, titled Metro Royale Esports, will introduce a fresh PvPvE format to the competitive scene.
