Yangon Galacticos Win PUBG Mobile's 2025 Regional Clash

The PMRC Rondo Cup 2025 concluded this past weekend with an electrifying finale, crowning team Yangon Galacticos as the champions. This victory not only showcased their prowess but also secured them the lion's share of a $20,000 prize pool, courtesy of PUBG.

The tournament unfolded on PUBG's latest and most expansive map to date, Rondo. This new battleground hosted 16 teams, all of whom earned their spots through various qualifiers including D'Xavier at PMSL SEA Spring, Rangers at PMCL Spring, and R3GICIDE at PMSL CSA Fall.

Yangon Galacticos clinched the title under the PMRC Rondo Cup's innovative SMASH format rules. This format required a team to accumulate 30+ points followed by a victory in a different match to claim the championship. However, since no team achieved this feat after six matches, Yangon Galacticos' overwhelming points lead propelled them to victory.

Around the world, the Rondo Cup has been hailed as a success, with HORAA Esports and Bigetron Esports securing the second and third positions, respectively. This achievement underscores PUBG Mobile's ambitious esports initiatives, which have been gaining momentum since 2024.

Ironically, the inaugural tournament to introduce the SMASH rule did not see a winner under this new system. Whether the SMASH format will return in future tournaments remains to be seen, as organizers will likely assess its impact on promoting skilled and entertaining gameplay.
