Our Chinese team also won first place in a friendly match against the other media team!
The PMNC first started in December 2018 until January 2019 and it's the first time that vivo Malaysia worked with Tencent to have an official PUBG Mobile tournament. With the popular demand of mobile gaming, the PMNC was to "facilitate the PUBG MOBILE community in Malaysia which plays a large part as the root of the esports ecosystem due to its overwhelming registered players' growth." It was also broadcasted live in English and Bahasa Melayu where it caught the attention of 2.2 million viewers on both livestreams platforms during the 2-day event, as well as gathering 2000 fans watching the finals at Sunway Velocity Mall.
This is a pretty great initiative by vivo Malaysia, we hope to see more of mobile gaming tournaments in other games as well but what about you? What games do you want to see being held in an eSports manner? Stay tuned for more gaming news at TechNave.com.
