Here's what he said when asked when will we be able to see more LAN tournaments of PUBG Mobile:

James Yang:

As soon as the flight limitation is over and the coronavirus situation is under control i.e. if there is any vaccine or any cure when it is safe enough to hold events offline, we will but I doubt.

He further added:

Frankly, I really doubt even we can hold the PUBG Mobile LAN tournament in the second half of 2020 but we are always ready to hold it. We even have our dedicated studio in Poland and in some other places. We will be so happy to organize the LAN tournament if the virus allows.

Currently, PMWL 2020 is around the corner and is slated to begin on 10th July 2020. It will go on till 9th August and will be an online event where the teams will fight for the massive prize pool of $850,000. This is also the biggest prize pool to date in a single PUBG Mobile event.

PMWL East will be streamed live on the PUBG Mobile Esports YouTube channel at 6:00 PM IST and the stream for the west region will begin at 12:30 AM IST. Here's the announcement made by James Yang, the director of PUBG Mobile Global Esports:
