This is not the first time Tencent Games has organized such an event. Last year, it hosted PUBG MOBILE Star Challenge 2018, which was a huge success. Tencent flaunted that the grand final of the event was spectated by over 230 million viewers online. Tencent also claimed that there were over 5,000 attendees, who watched the finals live in Dubai. In the last year’s event, a Thailand-based RRQ Anthena Team lifted the trophy.

Vivo’s Role in the Tournament

Lately, Vivo has been sponsoring a lot of sports events. Vivo has been sponsoring the Indian Premier League (IPL) for quite a while now. The Chinese smartphone maker had also been the title sponsor of World Cup 2018. Since Vivo likes so much in participating in the sports events, Vivo couldn’t resist itself being a part of PUBG Mobile Club Open 2019.

We have been seeing a lot of innovations from Vivo lately. Pop-up selfie camera on the Vivo Nex and an in-display fingerprint scanner on the Vivo X21 UD are some of the examples. Dubbed as IQOO, Vivo also launched a gaming phone recently. So Vivo is definitely stepping ahead to bring gaming-centric handsets.

Vivo says that being official smartphone partner of the event, Vivo would like to show its commitment to connect with gamers around the globe. As a Title Sponsor, the Chinese smartphone maker would also like to aware people about the gaming prowess of the Vivo phones. And if the gamers find any issues with the device while playing on the tournament, Vivo probably would focus on those aspects on its upcoming phones. So the event not just looks encouraging for the gamers but also could open the new doors for the upcoming gaming phones.
