PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2021 Tournament Overview & Expectations

The PUBG Mobile Global Championship is set to begin in November 2021, two weeks before the PUBG Global Championship on PC. 24 teams from across 12 competitive regions will earn their way into the competition for $6,000,000 in prize funds. It will be the highest single payout for any mobile esports tournament in history.

A total of 144 matches will determine the best PUBG Mobile team on the planet. Let’s breakdown the entire event, set expectations for each stage of the tournament and explain the extremely convoluted competitive format.

Tournament Overview & Format

The participating teams qualify to the main event through regional events played throughout the year. All 24 teams have been divided into three groups of 8 and will battle amongst eachother and opposing groups in a month long League Stage tournament. After the conclusion of the League Stage, the best 16 will advance to the PMGC Finals.

Each week will host 30 matches divided between weekdays and weekends.

Weekdays will see each group play 4 matches against the other two groups (AB/AC/BC) for a total of 12. The 16 top teams from the weekday matchups, will play the week’s Super Weekend, where they will be playing 18 matches (6 per day) from Friday to Sunday.

Only the points that are gathered during the Super Weekends count towards the rankings that will determine the PMGC League Finals participants. If a team misses the cutoff for a Super Weekend all they lose is a chance at earning points towards the Finals. All participating teams can still qualify into the Super Weekend in consecutive weeks.

Furthermore, PUBG Esports has announced they will divide the prize pool among the League Stage and League Finals, meaning each participating team is guaranteed at least a baseline prize of $ 3,000. Finally, the MVP player will be awarded $10,000 for his performance. The MVP selection criteria takes into account survival time, damage dealt and total kills.

PUBG Mobile Global Championship Teams

With 24 teams in the competition, its hard to do a quick meta analysis and set expectations going forward. Competition is still ongoing across plenty regions, and we will make a full event breakdown once all regional events conclude. The teams that secured a spot thus far are:

• Genesis Dogma GIDS (Indonesia)
• Natus Vincere (CIS)
• The Infinity (Thailand)
• Team Secret (MYSG)
• D’Xavier (Vietnam)
• A7 Esports (Brazil)
• Galaxy Racer (Arabia)

More then half of these teams have never met in a competitive setting as most competition was region based up until this point. What we can base our analysis on, is their overall performance and survival time during this season, total kills and damage done overall.

League Stage expectations

We can expect drop points, overall tactics and approach to the game to change each week. The first week of matches are expected to be a real fiesta where aim and pure luck will decide the first Super Weekend participants. This will come to be due to teams not being fully versed against their opponents patterns of rotation, type of play (edge or center) or everyone’s drop points. Once there is a clearer picture of how each team approaches a match we can see a more tactical approach to each individual match.

We will adjust our expectations and do a more in-depth analysis in future articles, once the competition gets under way. Be sure to tune in to the 4 weeks of competitions – every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday this November.
