Leveraging our experience in eSports, we hope to bring that very expertise to the region to enhance the ever-growing mobile gaming landscape. We're thrilled to welcome OPPO on board as a partner for the MENA regional PUBGM championship. In Esport, your device is everything – and OPPO has proven yet again, with its Reno smartphone series, that it knows exactly what mobile gamers need in order to succeed. With regional teams preparing to battle it out in the coming month we're looking forward to some exciting action."

Andy Shi, president of OPPO MEA, said: "Given the popularity and competitiveness of mobile gaming in today's world, there was a clear need to develop a smartphone that gives players the best possible experience whenever and wherever they want to play their game of choice. We believe that the new OPPO Reno Series provides players with the ideal platform on which to play PUBG MOBILE; after all, when it comes to immersive games and competition, smartphone performance is equally as important as player skill."
