As one of the region’s largest Esports titles, PUBG MOBILE has been a strong force behind the recent exponential growth of Esports in South Asia. The battle-royale game sees millions of daily players embrace its unique game mechanics that balance survival and battle tactics; demanding teamwork, hand-eye coordination, and strategic thinking.

Tencent’s PUBG MOBILE Esports also aims to strengthen the Esports ecosystem of South Asia and continues to work closely with the community in the region. Listening to the feedback, Tencent plans to integrate a number of improvements to the broadcast such as reducing breaks in-between matches and increasing viewer engagement opportunities through a virtual studio audience where fans can show their support for the team they cheer for. More engagement opportunities with the audience such as live polls and questions have also been planned. In addition, a storyline for each country with player analytics will be available for the audience to select based on their country.

Exciting in-game activities where gamers can receive in-game items for free have also been planned. These activities will be unlocked within the game from the 19th of May.   

PUBG MOBILE Esports continues the momentum with OPPO, the world-leading smart technology innovator to deliver an optimized gaming experience to South Asia’s gaming enthusiasts. Fantastic activities will come with the upcoming OPPO F Series.

ABOUT PUBG MOBILE

PUBG MOBILE is based on PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS, the phenomenon that took the world of interactive entertainment by storm in 2017. Up to 100 players parachute onto a remote island to battle in a winner-takes-all showdown. Players must locate and scavenge their own weapons, vehicles, and supplies, and defeat every player in a visually and tactically rich battleground that forces players into a shrinking play zone.
