PUBG Mobile esports in 2020
Newly announced during 2019's PMCO Fall Split Global Finals, the World League aims to bring the best teams of the game together. This means that, besides the PMCO delegation, it will feature winners from the country-level Pro Leagues in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as those who came out on top in the regional leagues of the Americas and South Asia.
At the end of the year, all these events will be crowned with a World Championship. In total, publisher Tencent has promised $5 million in winnings across the entire circuit.
PMCO Spring schedule
The PUBG Mobile Club Open calendar for the first half of 2020 looks as follows:
Jan 3-21 Teams can sign up for competition
Jan 23-Feb 2 Qualification rounds
February Regional group stages and semi finals
March Regional finals
May World League
We don't know exactly when the Fall Split will start yet, but with the second leg of the World League planned for October, June seems the most likely candidate.
Director of Global Esports James Yang explains the 2020 format.
The last year has been a very successful one for PUBG Mobile esports. The game surpassed $1 billion in revenue and could boast 57 million hours watched for its esports program. In December, 525,133 viewers saw team Bigetron win the 2019 Fall Split.
With a new format and bigger prize pool, it does not seem unreasonable to expect even better things from the title in 2020.
