The coronavirus situation is getting worse and worse every day. Many events and activities were already canceled due to the fear of the coronavirus, including esports. While the PMPL South Asia was already changed to be live-streamed online, a recent announcement from the government has forced the matches on the last 2 days of week 1 of the PMPL South Asia to be postponed.
PMPL South Asia Week 1 rescheduled
The third and fourth day of the PMPL South Asia Week 1 was supposed to happen on the weekends on March 21 and 22. However, on March 19, Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has called for Janta Curfew, which encourages people to stay home as much as they can, to prevent the coronavirus from spreading. The Janta Curfew starts on March 22.
And so to ensure the safety of players, the staff and support the decision of the Indian government, Day 3 and 4 of the PMPL South Asia will be rescheduled to March 23 and 24. This information has been confirmed by PUBG Mobile on their social media
The results of the PMPL South Asia so far
The PMPL South Asia has finished its second day. Currently, team UMumba Rxn is taking the lead with 137 points, followed by SynerGE with 123 points. Team Fnatic dropped down to 6th place after Day 2 while Orange Rock climbed all the way up to 5th place.
Entity Gaming is currently in 3rd place after 8 matches with 121 points. They actually could have 2nd place if it was not for a weird in-game bug that crashed the team out of match 6 early into the game.
