PUBG MOBILE Pro League Update

The coronavirus has struck again, figuratively speaking. The PUBG MOBILE Pro League will now be an online-only event after such a success in South Asia's 2020 regional final. All teams will play from their centers with no audience or venue. Days ago PUBG Mobile streamer MortaL, refused to comment on the rumors that had been circulating. Ketan 'K18' Patel, a PUBG Mobile caster, also made a video before the release of the online-only tournament. He attempted to explain them in detail, but at the time was unsure of the full situation.

This makes another big event canceled due to the coronavirus. Recently SXSW 2020 was canceled and GDC 2020 was postponed. E3 2020 is still being held, however.

The health and safety of our players and staff are our first priority. Hence, we have decided to convert the PUBG MOBILE Pro League South Asia 2020 to online event due to unforeseen circumstances related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The event will start from March 19th without our fan and audience presence as we take the well-being of our staff and players, as well as the public health very seriously. Fans and audience could enjoy the game via our live streaming platform. We adhere to all the guidance and recommended precautionary measures as we continue to welcome you to enjoy PUBG MOBILE.
