PUBG Mobile World Invitational Predictions

Heading into the PUBG Mobile World Invitational 2023, there are a number of variables to consider for predictions such as previous PUBG tournaments, which we’ll discuss as part of the betting preview.

Firstly, at last year’s iteration of the event, here’s how teams placed:

1. Vampire Esports
2. Team Falcons
3. Stalwart Esports
4. Nigma Galaxy
5. DAMWON Gaming
6. Regans Gaming

Considering that Vampire Esports are back again, one might be tempted to automatically favour them here. However, it’s worth noting that a year has passed since and predicting that far back is never reliable.

Another international PUBG Mobile worth looking at which took place since last year is the PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2022. Ending last year’s season, here are the standings from that particular event:

1. S2G Esports
2. DRS Gaming
3. Alpha7 Esports
4. Godlike Stalwart
5. IHC Esports
6. Vampire Esports

It seems that Stalwart and Vampire are the only names which recur twice on the top 6 of the past two PUBG Mobile tournaments – it might be worth favouring them once the odds arise.
