Following the start of the PUBG Mobile Global Open (PMGO) registration period, further details have been revealed regarding the event’s slot distribution.
Amateur teams from across the globe can sign up for qualifiers with the opportunity to compete at the competition’s Main Event in Tashkent, Uzbekistan this April.
Overall, seven teams will qualify through its preliminaries, with eight teams receiving direct invites. As the host country, a representative from Uzbekistan will also be invited.
From January 16th until February 9th, all amateur players can register to compete in 2025 PGMO qualifiers. The 16 teams who successfully advance from the open qualifiers will then earn a place in the preliminaries, where teams will compete in six matches every day.
From then, seven teams will earn places in the Main Event and an opportunity to play for a share of $500,000 (~£409,083) in prize money. The competition’s main event will take place from April 12th to 13th.
