PUBG Mobile has announced a new esports competition, which is a one-off season for battle royale. It is named season zero, and will commence on July 10th, culminating to a final on August 9th.

As a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic, this season will take place online only. There will be some structural changes since this will not be regarded as a regular season, hence the name season zero.

This single season will offer a prize pool of 850k USD, which is the biggest ever for a single event in PUBG Mobile. They will also allow forty teams to compete for the prize. This is the most teams allowed in a single season in PUBG Mobile’s history.

The tournament can be viewed by fans through live streams on PUBG Mobile’s official Youtube channel.
