The best PUBG Mobile teams in the world convened upon Berlin last weekend to crown a world champion, and Paste was there.
Club Open World Finals were held in Berlin, Germany. Three days of heightened competition stretched across the last weekend of July in one of the most beautiful cities on the planet. The 16 best teams from all over the world would compete for the top three places, all of which earned the position holders a big money prize—$180,000 to be exact. Beyond these basic facts, I had no idea what to expect as I boarded my seemingly days-long flight to Germany’s largest city from Atlanta.
The layout of the event was also quite intriguing. There were bleachers on either side of a giant square-shaped center where the commentators/casters and players were. Each of the 16 teams had an area sunken into the showfloor where they sat and played on mobile devices, with each of the four players facing one another in a square. They had headsets to communicate and viewers were urged to view the matches on the many gigantic screens that hung above the event floor.
Spacestation Gaming was the team representing the United States. Mobile gaming has not permeated the west like it has the eastern world. Its ease of access and low-barrier to play—plus, many countries have console tariffs and bans—has made mobile gaming the biggest digital interactive medium in vast parts of the world. And fans flocked from all over. The event was a melting pot of cultures and languages that came together for something they’re all passionate about:.
The final day’s matches were played at such a high level of competition that it was incredible to watch. Some played it safe while others, in a desperate bid for points, threw everything on the line and played fast & loose to sometimes successful results. But in the end, TOPtook the number one spot on the podium, as well as the $180,000 grand-prize. Oh, they also got super shiny jackets. Think of the Masters’ jackets by way of the Jersey Shore.
