Some projects are not just a "job" — they are a test of engineering and endurance. The PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC) held in 2023 within the massive volume of Ülker Arena was exactly that kind of challenge for Sahneva.
In this monumental event, we served as the technical solutions partner under the visionary leadership of Dimi Agency. Here is the success story of that 7-day sleepless marathon — stitched together with Google Translate and finished with millimetric precision.
1. The Calculation of 1 Millimeter at 20 Meters
In a corporate production, "margin of error" is just a theory for us; on the ground, that margin is zero. When building the 20-meter-long mega stage, we knew that a 1 mm deviation at the start would create a geometric nightmare by the end — and the LED screens would not fit together perfectly.
For 7 days, we joined every single MDF panel with the precision of a watchmaker. When the stage was complete, despite the tons of weight passing over it, the surface was as smooth as a razor blade. Because we know: digital eyes at a 4K-broadcast world final never lie.
2. Responsibility Suspended in the Air: Rigging and Industrial Climbers
The delicate balance we established with our industrial climbers working in the void of the arena ceiling was the riskiest part of the job. Lifting tons of LED cubes and lighting systems into the air required not just engineering, but extraordinary synchronization. As the Sahneva team, we managed the safety of every motor and truss connection with millimetric discipline.
3. Our Common Language: Technology and Global Coordination
When the event owner is a global giant, our language on the ground becomes "universal." While discussing technical details with the Chinese engineering team, we overcame the language barrier with Google Translate. Messages like "Signal flow" and "Rigging points" translated on phone screens eventually gave way to a genuine technical understanding. Our languages were different, but our goal was one: a flawless opening ceremony.
4. Project Recognition: Best Audio, Visual & Lighting Application
The official ACE of M.I.C.E. winners list records DİMİ / PUBG MOBILE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2023 in the "Best Audio, Visual & Lighting Application" category at the 12th Masters of Events ceremony in 2024. Sahneva's role described on this page is the documented on-site and technical production scope; the official award recipient is DİMİ.
The recognition belongs to the project and its officially listed recipient. This article focuses separately on the stage, LED, rigging and field work that Sahneva documents as its contribution to the production.

Why Sahneva?
We don't just rent equipment; we become the "reliable technical muscle" for major agencies and global brands in their most complex projects. Just as we did at PMGC 2023, we continue to build world-class work by breaking down language barriers and never compromising on millimetric precision.
