Krafton is taking a different approach towards selecting six teams out of the 12 that will be competing at the upcoming PUBG Mobile World Invitational (PMWI) 2022 - Afterparty Showdown, a fun event that is a part of the global tournament and will be taking place from 18^th to 20^th August.

20 of the best PUBG Mobile teams from five different regions have been selected by the tournament organizers - MENA (Middle East and North Africa), South Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe, and Americas.

All players have been given voting rights to cast votes from 8^th to 10^th July for their favorite team(s). The top six most voted teams from the different regions will be presented with a slot in the upcoming PMWI 2022 - Afterparty Showdown.

The PMWI 2022 will be featuring two different events across two separate weeks,

• Main Tournament will be taking place from 11^th to 13^th August, in the first opening week of the global competition.

• Afterparty Showdown will be taking place from 18^th to 20^th August, during the second week of the global competition.

A total of 12 teams are set to participate in the Afterparty Showdown, which is slated to be a fun side event that will feature the top five teams from the main event, six publicly voted teams from five different regions, and one special invite which is probably a BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) team from India.

The information regarding the last part is not yet official, so do take it with a grain of salt. However, do keep in mind that it is similar to how an Indian team (GodLike Esports) was invited for the PMGC 2021 - Grand Finals in January earlier this year.

All 100 PUBG Mobile teams that are eligible for public voting and an invite to the PMWI 2022 - Afterparty Showdown are as follows,

The fan voting for the 100 eligible teams listed above will take place from 8^th to 10^th July. All players are eligible for casting votes and they can do so by going to the 'Events Center' within the game.

There are also different ways to gain multiple votes, giving your favorite teams a better chance of securing a slot in the PMWI 2022 - Afterparty Showdown.

The PMWI 2022 will be the first of two global PUBG Mobile tournaments set to take place this year and will be hosted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It will be followed by the PMGC 2022, details for which will be announced at a later point in time.
