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!
