PUBG Mobile Esports global schedule revealed for 2022
Today, PUBG Mobile revealed the 2022 Esports roadmap for the title. James Yang, the director of Esports at Tencent unveiled the new roadmap, dubbing it as the PUBG Mobile Esports 2.0, during the first day of the Global Championship (PMGC) 2021 Finals.

1) PMCO: South America

3) PMCO: Asia
