G2 Esports, one of the most recognizable brands in competitive gaming, is teaming up with PUBG MOBILE Esports to build a competitive infrastructure for mobile esports across Western Europe. The partnership, announced on June 15, 2026 in Berlin, pairs G2’s community-building muscle with PUBG MOBILE’s massive global player base to target a region that has historically lagged behind Asia in mobile esports adoption.
The first tangible output: the PUBG MOBILE Club Open (PMCO) Wildcard for Western Europe, which is currently accepting registrations. The bigger event on the calendar is the PUBG MOBILE Global Open (PMGO) Western Europe Finals, scheduled for September 11-13, 2026.
What the partnership actually looks like
G2’s dedicated media house, known as “62,” will handle community activations and tournament operations for the region. G2 also brings a history with the PUBG franchise that dates back to 2017, when the organization fielded competitive rosters in PUBG titles through 2020. That institutional knowledge of the battle royale ecosystem, combined with a global fanbase exceeding 30 million, gives the partnership a built-in distribution network.
On the PUBG MOBILE side, the PMGO Season 1 attracted 1,224,169 players, a figure large enough to earn a Guinness World Record.
