What does that mean for players in KSA? For the first time ever, the champion of PMNC KSA won’t just get bragging rights and a $26,000 prize. They’ll also secure a spot at the PUBG MOBILE World Cup (PMWC), part of the epic Esports World Cup, with a jaw-dropping $3 million prize pool!
This tournament is a full-on pathway from amateur to pro. SEF is making sure the talent pipeline is strong, thanks to new programs like SEF Academy and university leagues. Players now have a legit shot at global fame, starting from local matches.
The response? Massive. PMNC KSA just broke records for the highest player registrations in PUBG MOBILE tournament history in the Kingdom. Everyone wants in, and for good reason.
Prince Faisal Bin Bandar, President of SEF, said this move puts Saudi gamers’ talent front and center on the global stage. PUBG MOBILE’s Vincent Wang called it a huge step toward unleashing the full potential of esports in KSA.
So if you’ve been grinding PUBG MOBILE, now’s your time to shine. Who knows, next stop could be the World Cup.
