In November 2022 I flew to Dubai for two weeks to host the PUBG Global Championship 2022. The best PUBG teams in the world competed to crown a global championship. I was the stage host and interviewer for the final weeks of this esports competition.
I’ve been working on European PUBG events since 2019. Which seems absurd when I write it down, but there you go. Being asked to host the Global Championship was such a huge career highlight for me and an incredible experience. I think it was especially awesome to get to hang out in real life with some of the European players, who I hadn’t had a chance to see since PUBG Europe League in 2019.
PUBG as an esport is a difficult one to do in real life because of the sheer number of players in each game. Having them all in a LAN setting requires a giant stage and space. It’s incredibly exciting to watch but somewhat terrifying to host because everything is far away from each other and always so incredibly big. Regardless, it was a well executed show and I didn’t fall once in my heels. Winning!

Obviously while there I created a host of content and really started getting into my TikTok groove.

I’m a bit late to the party with this one BUT if you’re like to re-live the Global Championship, I dropped all the photos on a Facebook Photo Album which you can check out
