The grand finals of PMGC were supposed to be held in the Coca Cola Arena in Dubai in a LAN environment but due to several issues, the tournament was entirely taken to the online mode.

This instant change in operations may have caused few problems for the organizers.
The proceedings of PMGC Finals Day Two were halted midway and casters revealed that some players are facing minor issues.

The casters also explained that this decision was taken because some players were facing network issues. It was also said that the problems are identified and being resolved for the time being. PUBG Mobile Esports instantly issued a statement on their social media handles and apologized to the players and fans for the inconvenience caused.
