KRAFTON and Level Infinite unveiled a revolutionary update to the PUBG Mobile Esports Tournament Platform on November 3, 2025, introducing a streamlined three-step application process that reduces approval times to just three to seven days. This major overhaul empowers esports organizations, schools, communities, and even office teams to host official tournaments with comprehensive support and resources.

What Is the New PUBG Mobile Tournament System

The updated PUBG Mobile Esports Official Tournament Platform represents a complete transformation of how third-party organizers can host competitive events. KRAFTON designed this system to eliminate bureaucratic hurdles and democratize access to official tournament hosting, enabling anyone from grassroots communities to established esports organizations to run sanctioned competitions with professional backing.

The platform now features multi-language support, allowing organizers worldwide to submit applications in their native language, significantly reducing barriers for regions with developing esports communities. This initiative aligns with PUBG Mobile’s goal of expanding its competitive ecosystem globally while maintaining quality and integrity standards.

Three-Step Application Process Explained

The streamlined application process has been condensed into three straightforward steps:

Step 1: Submit Tournament Details

• Fill in comprehensive event information including tournament structure, format, and dates
• Specify prize pool amounts and participant numbers
• Receive either a simplified or full application form based on event scale
• Provide only essential details depending on event type

Step 2: Apply for Room Cards

• Once approved, organizers request official Room Cards needed to host custom matches
• Access the platform directly through the same submission system
• Receive Room Cards for online or offline tournament formats

Step 3: Host Your Tournament

• Execute your event with full official support and resources
• Utilize provided technical tools including anti-cheat systems
• Access spectator client for broadcasting and livestreaming capabilities

Approval Timeline and Requirements

One of the most significant improvements is the dramatically reduced approval timeframe. PUBG Mobile now reviews most tournament applications within one to three days, though the complete process from submission to approval typically takes three to seven days. This represents a substantial reduction compared to previous lengthy authorization procedures.

The shortened review period enables grassroots events and time-sensitive competitions to get off the ground more quickly without compromising quality control or safety standards. Organizers receive expedited responses while KRAFTON maintains oversight to ensure tournament integrity.

Multi-Language Support Features

A cornerstone of the new system is comprehensive multi-language support designed to break down geographical barriers. Organizers can submit tournament applications, communicate with KRAFTON support teams, and access documentation in their preferred language.

This localization extends beyond simple translation, incorporating regional considerations for tournament formats, prize pool regulations, and cultural preferences. The initiative specifically targets regions with developing esports ecosystems, providing equal opportunities for tournament creation regardless of location or language proficiency.
