PUBG Mobile officially kicks off the Global Open with almost 100,000 participants

The 2025 PUBG Mobile Global Open (PMGO) has kicked off, marking the first major international PUBG Mobile esports event of the year! With over 90,000 competitors vying for a piece of the massive $500,000 prize pool, the Open Qualifiers, which began February 13th, offer a thrilling platform for both established and emerging talent.

This year's tournament emphasizes fresh talent, being open exclusively to amateur teams. Teams featuring at least one Ultimate 500-ranked player from Cycle 7 Season 20 or 21 have already advanced to Round 2 of the Open Qualifiers. Over the coming weeks, aspiring squads will clash for a coveted spot in the PMGO Prelims, where they'll face off against the top contenders from the Uzbekistan Offline Qualifiers.

Twelve teams will ultimately emerge from the Prelims to challenge the elite professional teams in the PMGO Main Event. Four professional teams—Regnum Carya, Nigma Galaxy, 4Merical Vibes, and Influence Rage—have already secured their places based on their stellar performances at the PMGC 2024. Four more will join them, qualifying through regional competitions like the PMSL SEA Spring, PMGO Korea Qualifier, and the Peacekeeper Elite League Spring season.

The Open Qualifiers run until March 2nd, followed by the Prelims on April 10th-11th, culminating in the Main Event on April 12th-13th. This tournament signals the start of a jam-packed year for PUBG Mobile Esports, with the PUBG Mobile World Cup and PMGC returning later in 2025.
