PUBG Mobile Esports, the esports circuit of battle royale title PUBG Mobile, has announced a partnership with UK-based esports organisation Guild Esports.

As a result, the organisation will compete in four PUBG Mobile tournaments taking place in 2024 and early 2025.

Beginning with the PUBG Mobile Super League (PMSL) Fall EMEA tournament taking place from September 16th until October 6th, Guild Esports will field a roster of players for the first time. The expansion into PUBG Mobile takes the total number of Guild Esports rosters to eight.

Guild Esports is one of four European teams competing at the PUBG Mobile Super League Fall event taking place in Katowice, Poland. The competition, organised by ESL FACEIT Group, will also feature a $400,000 (~£306,304) prize pool.

The other three events are the 2024 PMGC Finals, 2025 PMSL EMEA Spring and 2025 PMSL EMEA Fall.

Despite recording a reduced loss in the first half of 2024, Guild Esports has publicly announced its intention to explore financial options. This has included being in talks with parties over a potential acquisition.

Jasmine Skee, CEO of Guild Esports, spoke on the deal: We are excited to partner with PUBG MOBILE, a leading title that opens up new opportunities for us to grow our brand in Western Europe and expand into the rapidly evolving mobile gaming sector.

“This collaboration enables us to be part of this growth across Western Europe. We look forward to working with PUBG MOBILE to create experiences for fans in the UK, Western Europe, and globally.”

PUBG Mobile remains an area of expansion for several esports organisations. In May, North American organisation NRG launched its own division in collaboration with Samsung. Alongside new organisations entering the space, Level Infinite revealed the first LAN event of 2025 PUBG Mobile season will take place in Uzbekistan.
