PUBG MOBILE has revealed its schedule for the 2021 PUBG MOBILE Pro League (PMPL) circuit, adding seven new regions and a $14m (£10.1m) prize pool — the highest in mobile esports to date.
The new regions include North America, Brazil, LATAM, CIS, Turkey, Arabia, and Western Europe. PUBG Mobile also teased a new ‘World Class’ tournament for this summer that would see the top teams from all regions go head-to-head.
