PUBG Mobile World League Season Zero: New Format & Schedule

Recently, the PUBG MOBILE World League (PMWL) Season Zero has notified of an essential change in the format and the schedule of the competition. But, these changes are only for the final stages, and no changes are there, of either the format or the timings of the league stage and Super Weekend’s levels.

New reports suggest that the officials have decided to introduce a new updated format, that too, just after the tournament commenced. However, the revised PUBG Mobile World League changes were declared over the weekend.

The PUBG Mobile World League East 2020 Season Zero is being held from July 11 to August 9, offering a whopping total prize pool of USD 425,000. The league was to launch on July 10, according to the previous schedule, but it’s been pushed back by a day.

Overall changes included in PUBG MOBILE World League (PMWL) Season Zero

Several changes have been announced for the tournament over the weekend by the officials

Previously the opening week was supposed to commence for three days, between 10th and 12th July, but got shortened to two days and took place on the 11th and 12th of July, under the new schedule.

In the updated format, teams will now play only eight matches against one another rather than twelve, previously announced. Those eight games will then determine the result of the opening weekend. This result will, in turn, decide the team groupings for the league stages.
Changes have also been announced in the format of the final stage. So, the finals will be conducted for four days instead of three. The finals will now begin on August 6 and continue till August 9, 2020. Initially, it was scheduled from 7th to August 9.

The last change includes the addition of the total number of matches to be played. Since the finals will now continue for four days, the number of games is increased to 24 from 18. 16 teams will compete in the finals. These 16 will play six matches each day, and the team with the maximum points at the end of the fourth day will be declared the ultimate PMWL East Winner.

Nevertheless, the changes are introduced due to unexpected errors in the game on iOS.
