Here at esportsguide, you’re probably familiar with us singing the praises of competitive PUBG Mobile. Indeed, apart from sitting at the top of the mobile esports scene, it title is also massively impactful on the general esports industry too. Accordingly, with competition at a slightly quiet point, we’ve taken this opportunity to think. Join us as we review the past year of competitive PUBG Mobile 2020/21 as for other esports!
A Tier 1 Esport – The Top Mobile Title
It’s without a doubt that PUBG Mobile is an impressive esports scene – but why exactly?
Well, over the past few years, Tencent has guided the esport very well. Beyond simply hosting events, Tencent has pushed the title to each corner of the world.
So much so, that a massive number of continental and regional leagues are held each month, with new regions constantly expanding and finding success.
Bearing this in mind, and the record-breaking viewership the esports scene has been enjoying, in our last Esports Tier List we happily promoted the title to ‘Tier 1’ status.
Granting evidence to this claim, let’s take a look at the past year to see if the events have been up to par for the esport.
