Most people watched the tournament’s broadcast in Indonesian, making it the most widely used language during the PUBG Mobile event. YouTube continued to be the most used streaming platform during the tournament.
DRS Gaming from Nepal earned second place by grabbing the audience’s attention with an unexpected performance. Alpha 7 of Brazil also had a successful event, placing third overall.
The global champions for 2020 and 2021, Nova Esports, however, fell short of expectations. On the other side, GodLike Stalwart and IHC Esports made an incredible comeback to finish fourth and fifth, respectively.
It was also revealed during the Grand Finals that the PUBG Mobile World Invitational, which will take place in July in Riyadh, KSA, will be the first international competition of 2023.
