We congratulate all the winning teams that have proved their gaming mettle through the tournament, and would also like to thank our viewers for their whole-hearted love and support. The phenomenal success of the first season of the PUBG Mahayudh is indeed very satisfying and encouraging for us at EWar, and in the near future, we would be coming up with many more Mahayudh series’ or similar tournaments for different games on our platform.”
