The event allows players to participate in squads of four and battle it out for a total prize pool of $600,000 (approx Rs 4,20,39,000).
The event wasn’t open to all however, and was limited to players who have a fan following of at least 1,000 people on platforms such as YouTube Gaming, Twitch, Facebook Live, Smashcast TV, Mixer, Cube TV, Nimo TV, etc. There are no such requirements for the remaining three players.

At the closing of the event, PUBG Mobile also teased a crossover with Resident Evil 2.
