Despite controversial big money behind it, it's hard to ignore the $3 million that's up for grabs

The inaugural PUBG Mobile World Cup is set to kick off this weekend in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This major landmark in PUBG Mobile's esports scene is taking place as part of the hotly-anticipated Esports World Cup, a spin-off of the Gamers8 event taking place in Riyadh.
The PUBG Mobile World Cup 2024 will kick off on July 19th with the group stage. There's big money on the line for the 24 top teams that will be competing, with a reported $3,000,000 prize pool to be shared amongst the winners. Naturally, the lion's share will go to the winners of the tournament, set to be crowned on the 28th.
With the Esports World Cup making headlines around the world, but being set on the whole other side of the world with big money behind it, this may be a litmus test not just for more high-profile PUBG Mobile Tournaments, but also for the Saudi influence on esports as a whole.
