Garena has announced the Call of Duty: Mobile Grand Battle 2021 for players in Thailand. The top two teams from here will represent the region in the Garena Invitational 2021.
The Garena Invitational will be an international competition featuring top teams from the Southeast Asia region. Last year, the CGI was supposed to be played from March 31 to April 5 in Bangkok, Thailand. Teams from Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and Taiwan were participating. It had a prize pool of $65,000. The LAN event was canceled, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
