PUBG Mobile's PMSC aka the PUBG Mobile Star Challenge 2019 is back, an esports tournament that fans of the game adored.

The return of this competition has now been confirmed by a post on the game's official India Twitter account. Unlike other PUBG Mobile competitions, PMSC is a tournament meant specifically for gaming content creators.

Last year's PMSC Finals took place in Dubai and it had 20 finalists from over 10 regions. Various teams got their entry through an online voting system from millions of fans across the world. The tournament was won by a team named 'RRQ Athena', who bagged the winners' trophy along with a cheque worth of $600,000. The take-home cash award is considerably lower this year ($250,000) but that wouldn't deflate creators from trying their best to entertain their fans.

The tournament commences on 1 July as confirmed by PUBG Mobile on their Twitter handle, which means that from 1 July onwards, players and fans can vote for their favorite PUBG Mobile content creators.
