With such as rich number of regions involved, the PMPS can be quite head-spinning and delightful to keep track of. Indeed, here at esporstguide, we’re a massive fan of how Tencent is gripping the world with constant competitive coverage – such as the PMPS Korea Season 1 which is almost upon us. Read on to learn how to watch!
Event Background
I’d like to point out a few things. Firstly, this is one of PUBG Mobile‘s first attempt at engaging the Korean audience. By placing $62,499 on the line, this is easily an experiment to check how viable the esport would be in this region.
Secondly, the event is still building up in terms of competitors. Accordingly, running from 22nd April top the 6th June, the entire list of participants is still in progress. Overall, teams will be invited based on their performance from the PMSC 2020 1st Half and Second Half.
Below are potential participants for the event:
- XENON (PMSC 2020 1st Half Winner)
- ArCRESTART (PMSC 2020 2nd Half Winner)
- GC Busan Reject, 5K, Ace Skill Arsenal Korea, T1, Axis, PTWKOREA – a total of six seeds from the remainder of the 2nd Half event are supposedly invited to the event
- An additional 16 spots rewarded to the winners of the online qualifier and are not direct invites
This adds up 24 teams hungry to win and most of all, try and earn a seed into the Global Tournament happening shortly this season!
Format
As always appreciated with these PUBG Mobile events, the format is regularly different and exciting. Split into three stages, here’s how everything will work out in simple terms:
- Qualifier – (04/22-25) – 4 days of Qualifiers with 5 matches per day. The top 16 teams will use points tallied from their top performances (!5 of them) to join the 8 direct invites
- Weekly Stage – (05/08-23) – with all 24 teams decided, six days of Weekly Stage now take place. Across each day 6 games will be played daily with three groups of 6 randomly formed at this point in time. Once again, the top 16 teams will move into the Weekly Final.
- Weekly Final – (05/29-06/06) – with 16 teams left, this is where it gets spicy. Now, 4 days of Weekly Final with 6 daily matches multiplied by Benefits Points earned in Weekly Stage. The overall winner grabs the Global Tournament seed!
Schedule for the PMPS Korea Season 1
So far, there’s a lot of wording to digest. With that being said, here’s a detailed schedule right from the competition site which offers all of the necessary details:

Predictions
With how young and novel the competitive PUBG Mobile community is in the Korean region, teams are still making a name for themselves. Regardless, I do believe that the standings from the most recent event in the region – the Street Challenge 2020 Fall, offers some valuable insight.
Bearing this in mind, I’ll list the top competitors from that event below:
- ArCRESTART
- GC Busan Reject
- 5K
- Ace Skill Arsenal KOREA
- T1
- Axis
Again, these are simply indications of who may sit on the top. Of course, with the nature of battle royale, literally quite anything can happen with some magic. We’ll be here to catch all that magic.
