PUBG Mobile Esports team had revealed the big plans to kickstart the next yearly esports season of PUBG Mobile and one of the major regions in the PUBG Mobile ecosystem in South Asia. The scheduled format for the upcoming season of PMPL: South Asia Season 3 and PMCOs falling under it are revealed.
PMPL South Asia: Season 3 Details
PMPL stands for PUBG Mobile Pro League and in this tournament is the highest tier league-formatted tournament for any region. Players need to participate in the open-for-all PMCOs for respective regions and have a decent finish to claim a slot in PMCO.
PMPL: South Asia mostly had Indian teams before the game was banned in the country. As PUBG Mobile is no longer available in India, the slots for other regions have opened up and as a result, the esports team has tweaked the format for PMPL: South Asia Season 3.

Twenty teams participate in PMPL and out of it, the top 16 move on to the league stages. After the league is over, the grand finals are hosted where top teams gain a slot for global PUBG Mobile tournaments. The most consistent teams sitting at the top of scoreboards at the end of the League stage also get invited to such tournaments like PMGC.
This time, South Asian teams can qualify for PMPL through four PMCOs held for their respective regions. The top three teams from PMCO Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh and the top two teams for PMCO South Asia Wildcard will get a slot for PMPL: South Asia.
