ISTANBUL, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- HUAWEI AppGallery this year sponsored PUBG MOBILE Rising Stars season 4, Turkey's biggest amateur esports tournament. Held annually, PUBG MOBILE Rising Stars's purpose is to identify and nurture new talent, as participants engage in battle on the PUBG Mobile e-sports platform.

AppGallery Sponsorship: Attracting Youth Talent to E-Sports

AppGallery hopes to promote e-sports among young players, enabling them to pursue a meaningful e-sports career through exposure to professional teams and an offer of a monetary prize.

"E-sports are a growing phenomenon across younger generations of gamers, to the point that some of them prefer to watch others playing games, than playing those games themselves! As such, the E-sports essence of 'sharing fun, healthy competition with friends' deeply aligns with AppGallery's identity and commitment towards the gaming community," Jaime Gonzalo, VP Huawei Mobile Services Europe, said.

He added, "PUBG MOBILE Rising Stars has become a key event in the Turkish e-sports scene, where players can flaunt their skills in the exciting PUBG Mobile arena and gives them the opportunity to be noticed by professional teams. An attractive prize pool of 600,000 TRY is awarded across the tournament, offering support and a potential future career path to emerging talent." 

The prize pool was distributed across the top 16 teams, the 'MVP' and 'WWCD', the top team from each match.
