And we've still got the final stage to go!
It was a weekend for big news, so we don't blame you if you missed some of the hot topics coming out of Saudi Arabia. But if you haven't, you might be interested to know that stage one of the PUBG Mobile World Cup is over and done with, and while some teams didn't make the cut, others are now well on the way to grabbing a slice of the $3m prize-pool on offer.

The qualifying teams get a one-week break after the action this weekend before the final stage of the PUBG Mobile World Cup takes place from July 27th to the 28th.
