The event is themed around the new Nusa map, featuring a prize pool of $20,000 where the winner takes the lion’s share of $10,000.

Final Thoughts
The inclusion of Nusa makes it clear that the developers want to introduce more fast-paced warfare in PUBG Mobile. While this might put off fans of the original battle royale, the mass mobile audience definitely wants more action served at every game. How Nusa fares among the fans remains to be seen, but a star-studded opening such as this will definitely generate quite the enthusiasm to try out the latest map of PUBG Mobile.
