We are just 3 days away from the PMCO Fall Championship, a tournament that is expected to be the landmark event for PUBG Mobile in recent times. 16 teams from across the globe have made it to Malaysia, to try and lift the trophy that would give them the certification that they are indeed the best team in the world. With half a million USD on the line and some of the most recognizable faces in PUBG Mobile, the stakes could not be higher. So here’s everything that you need to know about the PMCO Fall Championship 2019.
