PUBG Mobile Global Open Qualifiers finale starts this weekend

As we head into the weekend, many of you are probably planning your personal pastimes with family and friends or perhaps diving into your back catalog of games on your platform of choice. But if you have some time and are a fan of top-notch esports action, you might want to tune into the PUBG Mobile Global Open Qualifier Finals, which are set to kick off this weekend.

Technically, it's the Open Qualifiers Final, but with the field narrowed down from over 90,000 players to 80 teams across five regions, this stage will see only 12 teams advance to the prelims and, hopefully, to the PUBG Mobile Global Open itself. The main event is scheduled for April 12th to 13th, with the prelims taking place in the two preceding days. This tournament promises to be a thrilling spectacle, especially as PUBG Mobile continues to cement its status as a major force in the esports world. The team behind it is even set to bring the mobile battle royale back for another round at the Esports World Cup.

It's difficult to gauge just how much esports resonates with the average player. Despite the success of the Overwatch League in its heyday, there were many players who simply didn't connect with it, leading to its gradual decline in popularity. On the other hand, PUBG Mobile enjoys massive popularity in Asia, making it the perfect region to find a dedicated esports audience. With the upcoming Esports World Cup on the horizon, the global open is sure to attract plenty of devoted fans.
