Tournament organiser ESL has partnered with Tencent to become part of the PUBG Mobile esports circuit for 2020.
The collaborative program will allow players “all over the world” to win a share of $5 million (£4.1 million).
ESL will support Tencent in building a “brand new, innovative” studio that’s being put together exclusively for PUBG Mobile. The studio will be located in Katowice, Poland and host offline matches once it’s safe to do so post-coronavirus.
Fabian Scheuermann, Vice President Product Operations & Strategy in Publisher Development at ESL, spoke on the partnership in a release: “We are very excited to support PUBG MOBILE in growing as a truly global esports title, sharing our expertise on how to successfully create an open competition on all levels.
