PUBG Mobile Esports 2022 changes for Pro League and Spring Split schedule revealed

Tencent has revealed new changes to one of its major tournaments, the PUBG Mobile Pro League (PMPL) circuit. The PMPL will now follow a one-year cycle instead of seasonal relegation and features a total prize pool of $5.3 million.

In February 2022, PUBG Mobile introduced PMPL qualifiers where top teams advanced to their regional PMPL event. Earlier, top teams from PUBG Mobile Club Open (PMCO) used to qualify for PMPL.
