PMPL South Asia Championship Set to Resume Amidst Improved Political Climate

PUBG Mobile teams from all across South Asia fought and seeded themselves at the PMPL South Asia Championship where the top 16 teams were supposed to lock horns for a slot at the prestigious annual event - PUBG Mobile World League 2023. However, the high-stakes finals that were scheduled for May 11th to 14th, were disrupted due to increased political tension in Pakistan which saw internet access being shut down across major cities of the country. Owing to this, the PMPL South Asia Championship matches for the six Pakistani teams who were due to participate in the grand finals, were postponed. However, Tencent has finally announced that matches for the grand finals will now resume from 25th May with all the previously qualified teams.

As Pakistan was going through a national crisis at the time, players reported downtime with their internet access. To maintain fair play and competitive integrity, the tournament officials posted an update on their social media handles on May 11th, stating that the grand finals are postponed until further notice.

After almost two weeks of no updates on the matter, the officials finally broke their silence this week by posting “Well, the wait is now over. Mark your calendars For the FINALS of 2023 PMPL SAC Spring. When? May 25th - 28th”.

The Spring 2023 season of PMPL Pakistan saw teams participating from Nepal, Mongolia and Pakistan. Although it features a lucrative prize pool of $150,000 USD, the real prize here is the tickets to PMWI 2023 which features an enormous prize pool of $3 million USD.

Unlike the previous iterations, the PMPL South Asia Championship featured a league stage. Although Pakistani teams had a good start there, favorites from Mongolia and Nepal still left them in the dust by the end of the week. Two promising Pakistani teams - 3x Esports and 52 Esports have already exited the competition while all the other Pakistani teams fought their way to the finals with placements between the 11th to 16th spots on the points table. The Mongolian giants - Stalwart Esports, are leading the charts once again, and there seems to be no match for them except for their regional rivals 4 Merical Vibes.
