The first is PUBG Mobile's Player Well Known Invitational North America, going live on August 17th at 8 PM PDT and running through to August 18th. In it, 16 high-profile streamers join forces with friends and fans to win themselves a delicious chicken dinner.

Check out the video above to see which streamers will be taking part, or have a look at the official website for more information. By voting you'll get 1,000 BP, and if your choice wins the Invitational you can win two Superior Crates. Fancy!

PUBG Corp and Tencent also announced the first-ever Player Well Known Championship, which is a tournament featuring six regions from across the globe. Europe, Asia, South America, North America, and Japan/Korea have been revealed so far, but it looks like there might be more to come.

The Championship will be made up of Qualifiers, Preliminaries, Regional Finals, and World Finals, and if you want to take part you've got to have more than 1,000 fans/followers across specified streaming platforms. Don't fret it you don't, you can always squad up with up to three other players.

Though there are more details to come, winners will become part of the official PUBG Mobile squad and will get access to promotional resources for streaming, and more.
