PUBG Mobile\'s 2025 Regional Clash concludes with Yangon Galacticos crowned winners

The curtains fell on the PMRC Rondo Cup 2025 this past weekend, marking a thrilling conclusion to the latest PUBG Mobile esports tournament. Team Yangon Galacticos emerged victorious, securing the championship title and claiming the lion's share of the $20,000 prize pool offered by PUBG.

The tournament unfolded on PUBG's newest and expansive map, Rondo, which provided a fresh battleground for the competition. Sixteen teams, including standout qualifiers like D'Xavier from PMSL SEA Spring, Rangers from PMCL Spring, and R3GICIDE from PMSL CSA Fall, battled it out for supremacy.

Yangon Galacticos' triumph was facilitated by the introduction of the innovative SMASH format rules. Under these rules, a team needed to accumulate 30+ points and secure a victory in a separate match to clinch the win. However, after six matches, no team achieved this milestone, leading to Yangon Galacticos being crowned champions due to their commanding points lead.

With HORAA Esports and Bigetron Esports securing second and third places respectively, the Rondo Cup has undoubtedly been a resounding success for PUBG Mobile's ambitious esports initiatives, which have been gaining momentum since 2024.

It's noteworthy, albeit ironic, that the inaugural tournament to feature the SMASH rules did not see a winner emerge via this method. The future of this ruleset in upcoming tournaments will hinge on whether the organizers believe it fosters more skilled and engaging gameplay.
