The PUBG Mobile World Cup's group stage draw has been unveiled, setting the stage for an electrifying showdown in the 2024 edition of this premier esports competition. The introduction of the group stage format adds a new layer of excitement and strategy to the event.
For those new to the format, the group stage divides teams into groups where they compete against each other. The victors from each group advance to the finals, intensifying the competition and showcasing the best of the best.
Let's dive into the teams and their groupings:
Group Red
Brute Force, Tianba, 4Merical Vibes, Reject, Dplus, D’Xavier, Besiktas Black, and Yoodoo Alliance
Group Green
Team Liquid, Team Harame Bro, Vampire Esports (by special invite), TJB Esports, Falcons Force, Madbulls, IHC Esports, and Talon Esports.
Group Yellow
Boom Esports, CAG Osaka, DRX, IW NRX, Alpha7 Esports, INCO Gaming, Money Makers, and POWR Esports.
The top 12 teams from these groups will advance to the main tournament, while the bottom 12 will have another shot at glory in the Survival Stage, alongside four additional teams. This gives every team a fighting chance to make it to the finals.
The excitement surrounding this event is palpable, not least because it will be held at the inaugural Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia. This venue choice is both highly anticipated and controversial, given the country's significant investment in gaming. Whether this will elevate the tournament's profile remains to be seen.
