2023 PUBG MOBILE GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP RETURNS TO CROWN THE WORLD’S BEST TEAM
PUBG MOBILE Esports is excited to announce the crown jewel of the 2023 PUBG MOBILE Esports calendar, with the return of the PUBG MOBILE Global Championship (PMGC) for 2023! This tournament is the culmination of every battle, every challenge, and every triumph seen throughout this year’s PUBG MOBILE Esports scene. 50 teams from around the world will prove their worth from November 2nd – December 10th, as they battle it out for their share of the $3 million prize pool and the title of PUBG MOBILE World Champion.
The 2023 PMGC League will take place in several stages through November, from November 2nd – November 26th. Participating teams will consist of qualifiers from various PUBG MOBILE Pro League (PMPL) and PUBG MOBILE Super League (PMSL) regions, and special invites. Fans can experience 6 exciting matches per day with 48 teams going head-to-head to secure their place in the 2023 PMGC Grand Finals.
Only the best of the best will advance to the 2023 PMGC Grand Finals to compete for the PUBG MOBILE World Champion title. From December 8th – December 10th, the 14 teams qualifying from the 2023 PMGC League and 2 special invite teams will take to the stage in Istanbul, Türkiye, for the opportunity to prove themselves the best PUBG MOBILE team on the planet.
It has been a thrilling year for PUBG MOBILE Esports, and fans will no doubt be looking to Vampire Esports for another fantastic performance. The team earned their second consecutive PUBG MOBILE World Invitational win this year, alongside their victory at the 2023 PUBG MOBILE Pro League in Thailand.
However, whilst the team has excelled in major events, they fell behind during the 2023 PUBG MOBILE Regional Clash between South East Asia and South Asia, finishing in 14th place. The return of the 2023 PMGC will be an opportunity for the Thai team to take centre stage once more and enjoy the limelight. This will be no easy feat, as other top talent teams like the Brazilian team Alpha7 Esports and Mongolian team Stalwart Esports will undoubtedly be preparing to take first place.
“The PUBG MOBILE Global Championship is an opportunity for the best of the best to get the recognition they deserve on the grandest stage of them all. This has been a fantastic year for PUBG MOBILE Esports, with record-breaking performances, new strategies, and unprecedented support from the fans. There’s no doubt teams will give it their all for this final major tournament of 2023,” said James Yang, Director of PUBG MOBILE Global Esports.
Esportes Gaming Brasil director Hugo Baungartner used a panel appearance at BiS Brasília (Brazilian iGaming Summit) to argue that sports and cultural sponsorships should be measured by their long-term impact, not just brand visibility. Baungartner spoke during the session “A Importância dos Patrocínios e das Leis de Incentivo para a Sustentabilidade do Esporte e da Cultura.”
During the debate, Baungartner said sector maturity requires a long-term approach that turns sponsorships into platforms for relationship-building and local ecosystem development, connecting with fans, consumers and communities.
He highlighted the group’s sports partnerships with Corinthians, Ceará, Náutico and Ferroviária, as well as support for Brazilian cultural events including Carnaval, São João and the Festival de Parintins. Baungartner said major events can move entire supply chains by boosting tourism, commerce and job opportunities, and pointed to the importance of working with local suppliers and professionals in Parintins to expand the positive impacts of sponsorship spending.
Baungartner also addressed challenges in Brazil’s regulated betting market, saying consolidation depends on governance, integrity and consumer protection, alongside efforts to combat illegal operators. He said advances in provider regulation and stronger financial traceability mechanisms are important steps to limit unauthorized activity and improve user security.
“Patrocínio responsável é aquele que cria conexão real com o público e deixa legado no território. No esporte e na cultura, isso significa investir com governança, transparência e propósito, fortalecendo um ecossistema que gera renda, emprego e oportunidades”, afirmou.

Team Vitality and Fulllife Unveil a New FPS Jersey for the Valorant Masters London and IEM Cologne Major 2026
Team Vitality has unveiled its new “FPS Jersey,” specially designed for IEM Cologne 2026 and the VALORANT Masters 2026 in collaboration with its apparel partner Fulllife. Conceived as a strong symbol of ambition, performance and legacy, the jersey features an exclusive central crest and introduces a bold visual evolution for the club.
After making history on Counter-Strike, Team Vitality is celebrating its FPS DNA through a jersey dedicated to its two flagship titles. Through this initiative, the club reinforces its ambition to leave a lasting mark on the world’s biggest FPS stages and establish this jersey as a new benchmark within the esports industry.
AN EXCEPTIONAL JERSEY FOR A HISTORIC MOMENT
For this new release, Team Vitality embraces a completely new visual approach. For the first time in the club’s history, purple is introduced alongside its iconic yellow and black colours, in line with the organisation’s new 2026 artistic direction. This bold creative choice allows the jersey to stand out within the esports landscape while surprising and exciting fans.
The symbol featured on the front of the jersey reinterprets an iconic part of the club’s logo: the “V” combined with the lower section of the bee’s body. This graphic element, called the “Mini Bee,” is integrated throughout the jersey’s design to symbolise the swarm — representing collective strength, the identity of the Hive and the power of the Team Vitality community.
Fulllife has brought its technical expertise to a piece designed both for competition and for the fans in the stands. Every detail reflects the club’s continued rise on the international stage and its ambition to leave a lasting legacy in esports. The accompanying apparel collection also incorporates the same colour palette and includes lifestyle pieces designed for everyday wear.
“We are extremely proud of this new FPS-focused marketing campaign — a true love letter to Counter-Strike and VALORANT. An exclusive jersey, a dedicated fan zone, and numerous activations created hand in hand with our partners for our fans… We are ready for two major international events, with the clear ambition of continuing to establish Team Vitality among the best esports clubs in the world,” said Amélie Canet, Chief Marketing Officer.
PERFORMANCE AND RESPONSIBILITY
The FPS Jersey is manufactured in Portugal using NanoMatter, a technical fabric made from 100% recycled polyester and specifically developed for competitive players. Ultra-comfortable, lightweight and breathable, it is designed to perform under the most demanding conditions.
Each order is delivered in Fulllife’s iconic Capsule packaging, redesigned in Team Vitality’s colors, FSC-certified and accompanied by 100% recycled and recyclable polybags.
“This jersey is one of the boldest pieces we have ever produced. Our role was to bring a strong creative vision to life using the best materials and manufacturing processes available, delivering a product that truly reflects Team Vitality’s ambitions on the international stage,” said Maxime Baziadoly, General Manager of Fulllife.
