Following yesterday’s episode of ‘How to Watch’ covering the NA region, we’re switching things up. In fact, today we’ll be covering the PMPL Vietnam Finals 2021 which are also days away! With the best teams in the region lining up for the $40,000 event, we’re buzzing with excitement for it!
Event Background
Naturally, the PUBG Mobile Vietnam Pro League is the PUBG Mobile professional league in Vietnam, being the highest level of competition locally. Over the past few weeks, the regular season has passed, with the entire region fighting for the limited 16 seeds at this finals event. The following 20 teams attempted to do so:
Organized by Tencent Games, PUBG Corporation and 500Bros, the 16 squads will be competing from the 16-18th April for all the marbles. Besides the majority of the prize pool, the top two teams will also earn seeds for the SEA Championship.
Accordingly, here are the top 16 teams for you:

Format
Similar to the PMPL NA Finals event, the format for this event is relatively simple. Hosted online, it’s the same for each day. Running from Friday to Sunday, squads will play 5 matches each day in one big group of 16. After a total of 15 matches, we’ll have our final standings!
The Points Distribution places a balanced weight on both kills and placement, though teams will need both to place well. Here’s how points will be awarded:
- Kill Points – 1 per kill
- Placement – 1st (15), 2nd (12), 3rd (10), 4th (8), 5th (6), 6th (4), 7th (2), 8-12th (1), 13-16th (0)
Schedule for the PMPL Vietnam Finals 2021
Taking place everyday at the same time, the event will take place every day at 16:00 (GMT+7) on all three days of the competition. Each stream will last roughly 5-7 hours, until the games of the day are done and dusted, supported with live commentary and chat.

Predictions
With a Finals event like this, it’s always a good idea to consult the results from the regular season for predictions. Indeed, below I’ll present the standings – this is how the teams got here:
So first things first – Infinity IQ is definitely the favourite for the event, gaining the first seed with quite a lead over the second placed FFQ Mobile.
However, despite this, the competition further down, especially from second to fifth, is incredibly tight. Sitting within a 20 point difference, it could be said that these teams are all in the same category.
As you progress further down the leaderboard, teams naturally have a lower chance of winning. Regardless, battle royale is always an ‘on-the-day’ esport where you need to show up on the day and likely, get a little lucky. Beyond that, this isn’t the regular season – this are the Finals and teams can show up in a big way should they want it badly enough.
