Organizing a PUBG Mobile LAN tournament is no easy task, especially if you’re aiming for the level of professionalism seen in events like PMNC (PUBG Mobile National Championship) or PMSL (PUBG Mobile Super League). A successful LAN tournament isn’t just about putting players in a room and letting them play; it’s a large-scale production involving logistics, technology, infrastructure, and a deep understanding of both the game and the audience.
In this blog, we’ll take you through every step of organizing a professional-level PUBG Mobile LAN event, covering everything from venue setup to broadcast production — based on real-world practices and tournament insights.
1. Selecting the Right Venue
The very foundation of your tournament begins with the venue. Whether you’re hosting it in a convention hall, hotel ballroom, or custom esports arena, the location must serve two key audiences: the players and the viewers (both in-person and online).
Key Venue Setup Considerations:
- LED Screen Placement
If you’re using an LED wall for spectators, place it behind the players so they can’t see the live feed. This prevents stream sniping or gaining unfair information during the match. - Team Table Layout
Teams should be spaced out with physical barriers or proper distance to ensure they can’t see each other’s screens. Privacy matters at this level. - Comfortable Setup
Tournaments can last all day, sometimes across multiple days. Invest in ergonomically designed chairs and desks to ensure players stay comfortable and focused. Avoid cramping players into a tight stage — a congested environment leads to frustration and discomfort.
2. Power and Electrical Planning
Power failures can ruin the entire event. Each player and team will rely heavily on uninterrupted power, so your setup should include:
- Dedicated power sockets at each team’s desk.
- Backup UPS systems to ensure continuity in case of a power outage.
- Charging outlets for mobile devices and cooling equipment like portable fans or phone coolers.
3. Wiring and Cable Management
A professional tournament needs professional cable management. Tangled wires or unmarked cables are a disaster waiting to happen.
- Label every cable — This makes troubleshooting faster and easier.
- Use cable trays or protective covers in high-traffic areas.
- Separate power and data lines to reduce interference and risk of signal loss.
- Make sure cables are secured firmly to avoid accidents, especially in areas accessible to staff, players, or the audience.
4. Technical and Production Equipment
Your production setup is what transforms a good event into a legendary one. For this, you’ll need:
High-End Gaming PCs:
These are essential for:
- Observers (in-game cameras and angles)
- Replay operators
- Broadcast graphics
- Production directors
Cameras and Capture Cards:
Invest in high end cameras with HDMI/SDI output and high-quality capture cards (like Atem or Blackmagic). These allow you to stream crisp, lag-free footage directly into your production software.
Audio Equipment:
Good microphones and audio mixers are a must. Include ambient mics for the crowd and casters, as well as headsets with noise-canceling features for commentators.
5. Internet and Network Management
Even though it’s a LAN/offline tournament, internet still plays a critical role — from connecting backend services to supporting online broadcasts and tournament APIs.
Best Practices:
- Have a separate link for each of the task
- One for players
- One for production
- One for live streaming
- One for audience/public WiFi (optional)
- Use managed switches and routers with monitoring features.
- Always have a backup ISP or failover connection.
6. Tournament Production and Broadcast
Let’s not forget — most of your audience will be watching online. So the broadcast quality is just as important as the event itself.
Key Production Elements:
- Graphics & Overlays – Invest in animated, dynamic overlays that reflect game stats, team info, brackets, kill leaders, etc.
- Professional Casters – Having knowledgeable, energetic shoutcasters can elevate the viewer experience.
- Replays & Highlights – Capture key moments in real-time and replay them during breaks or post-match.
- Observer Team – Trained in-game observers help catch the best angles and fights.
Using API and Official Support:
If you want a tournament that mirrors PMNC or PMSL standards:
- Coordinate with PUBG MOBILE Esports for PCOB support
- Use tools like TournaLink to integrate real-time game data into your stream. These platforms automatically generate complex stat overlays, kill counts, players’ and teams’ rankings, and more.
Organizing a PUBG Mobile LAN tournament is a massive undertaking — but with the right planning, gear, and attention to detail, you can create a truly unforgettable event. Whether you’re targeting local esports communities or planning something on a national scale, always prioritize:
- Player experience
- Fair competition
- Smooth technical operations
- High-quality production
And most importantly, make sure your viewers — both online and offline — leave with a wow factor. That’s what makes tournaments like PMNC and PMSL stand out, and that’s what you should aim for too.
Final Tip:
Build a strong team behind the scenes — event managers, production crew, admins, and technical support staff. The smoother your backstage runs, the better your frontstage will look.
