PUBG Mobile Returns to Riyadh for EWC 2025

As you're navigating the battlegrounds of Erangel in your Shelby, excitement is building in Riyadh with the return of PUBG Mobile to the Esports World Cup in 2025. From July 25th to August 3rd, 24 elite teams from around the globe will vie for supremacy and a slice of the $3 million prize pool.

Fresh off their record-breaking performance in 2024, all eyes are on Alpha7 Esports as they seek to defend their title in what is shaping up to be another electrifying mobile battle royale event. The tournament kicks off with the Group Stage from July 25th to 27th, where teams are divided into three groups of eight.

The top eight teams will advance directly to the Grand Finals, while the remaining sixteen will compete in the Survival Stage. From this stage, another eight teams will earn their spot in the final showdown, scheduled from August 1st to 3rd. The ultimate champion will claim not only the title but also the largest portion of the prize money.

Last year, Alpha7 Esports from Brazil left an indelible mark on the competition, clinching the championship with an outstanding performance. They secured five Chicken Dinners over the 18-match Grand Finals and earned an additional $25,000, culminating in a total prize of over $467,000.

Their journey was characterized by consistent performance and sheer firepower. Alpha7 matched Team Liquid's 91 points in the Group Stage, securing a direct entry into the Grand Finals. There, they achieved top-four finishes in nearly half of their matches, showcasing their prowess and endurance.

The format for this year's event remains unchanged, but the competition promises to be fiercely unpredictable. To prepare for the excitement, you can download PUBG Mobile for free and hone your skills. For more details, be sure to visit the official Facebook page.
