Likewise, YB Syed Saddiq also commented:

We are both honored and proud that PUBG MOBILE has selected Kuala Lumpur as the venue for their largest, most anticipated mobile esports tournament of the year. Malaysia has continually risen to become one of the most progressive esports countries in the region, and now with the backing of a major esports name like PUBG MOBILE, our local industry is well-positioned to accelerate its development from grassroots levels to reach international status and acclaim.

Cosplayers, streamers, and celebrities were also among the audience during PUBG Mobile’s special PMCO 2019 presentation. The game’s participation at Level Up Play aimed to boost the event’s profile as a regional gaming event. PUBG Mobile has also been sponsoring and partnering other events during the lead-up months to the PMCO 2019 Fall Split Global Finals. There was Vanke’s “Run for Fun” 5km running event, Yoodo’s Malaysia Campus Championship, a partnership with Hungry Food Delivery app and a massive metamorphosis of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) station near PWTC to become the first interactive esports station in Kuala Lumpur.
