PUBG Mobile World Invitational (PMWI) 2022 which has kick-started today is set to witness
some high-voltage battle royale matches. Over the course of 3 days, 18 teams from all over the
world will fight in the main event for a whopping $2,000,000 USD in prize money.

Unfortunately, content creators from India, China, and Korea were barred by Tencent to host a
watch party for the PMWI 2022.

The watch party can only be hosted by content creators for PUBG Mobile from different regions,
along with which a contest based on the number of viewers tuning in for the stream also takes
place. But Tencent made it clear that Indian, Chinese, and Korean content creators won’t be
able to participate in this contest, though professional teams from each of the countries are
participating in PMWI 2022.

The top ten watch parties in the competition will get USD 75,000 each. The watch parties will be
streamed on the official team channels on Facebook, Trovo, Twitch, and YouTube by creators
from the participating teams. Indian fans were anticipating their favorite creators, like Mortal,
Dynamo, and Jonathan, to host a watch party, but that won’t be possible anymore. This was
also clarified by Mortal, one of the most popular content creators from India.

This surely has upset Indian fans as there won’t be any watch party and Hindi stream to see
their favorite professional teams (both Indian & international) fight it out. Esports Charts will
determine the data for the top watch parties, and a list of the prize money that will be awarded is
mentioned below -

● 1st: USD 15,000
● 2nd: USD 12,000
● 3rd: USD 10,000
● 4th: USD 8,000
● 5th: USD 7,000
