Fans can tune into the competition on the PUBG Mobile Esports YouTube channel.
PMGC 2022: Who are the favorites?
The obvious favorite to take the crown (again) in 2022 are Nova Esports. The team has undoubtedly been the most dominant one in the history of PUBG Mobile esports.
Nova are a two-time PUBG Mobile world champion having won the crown in 2020 as well as 2021. Coming into the tournament as the defending champions, their domination hasn’t slowed down and they look set to take home the crown again. Can the team make history again by becoming a three-time world champion?
Team SMG from China are another squad to look out for. While they haven’t been one to dominate locally, they put up a surprising and underdog performance in the PEL Summer Season Grand Finals to finish in first place, ahead of Nova Esports. If they are able to show the same momentum in the Grand Finals, they could be on the way to become the world champion.
