PUBG Mobile Invitational 2022: Afterparty Showdown At Gamers8

Following the weekend of the PUBG: Mobile Invitational, the five best teams are going on to a weekend show tourney called the "Afterparty". Another 7 teams will also be invited, but they didn't qualify via the Invitational. This is basically another, very similar tournament to the Invitational, with a further $1,000,000 put up for the prize pool.

Gamers8 is taking place over the whole summer, and on the weekend of August 18-20, there's going to be a PUBG Mobile tournament. This is the "Afterparty" to the PUBG: Mobile Invitational. The "Afterparty" is basically a smaller tournament that takes place after the main event, and only includes the top 5 best performing teams from the Invitational (plus seven invited teams who didn't qualify via the Invitational). But there is another $1,000,000 up for grabs, so it's not like teams will be "letting their hair down" for this one. Let's get into the details!

What Is Gamers8?

Gamers8 is a festival dedicated to esports and gaming, put on by the Saudi Esports Federation at the newly-built Boulevard Riyadh City. The festival will take place throughout the whole of the summer in 2022. There's going to be various performances, meet and greets, and activities going on throughout, but most importantly (at least to gamers), there's going to be tournaments put on each weekend throughout the festival. In this article, we're covering the PUBG Mobile tournament, but there's a wide selection of games that will have similar events.
