Yangon Galacticos Win PUBG Mobile's 2025 Regional Clash

The PMRC Rondo Cup 2025, the latest PUBG Mobile esports tournament, concluded this past weekend with team Yangon Galacticos emerging as the champions. Their victory was secured through an overwhelming points lead, earning them the lion's share of the $20,000 prize pool provided by PUBG.

The tournament unfolded on PUBG's newest and largest map to date, the Rondo map. Sixteen teams, including qualifiers like D'Xavier from PMSL SEA Spring, Rangers from PMCL Spring, and R3GICIDE from PMSL CSA Fall, competed fiercely for the title.

Yangon Galacticos clinched the win under the tournament's innovative SMASH format rules, which required a team to accumulate 30+ points and secure a victory in a separate match. However, after six matches, no team met these criteria, resulting in Yangon Galacticos' triumph due to their dominant points tally.

Around the WorldThe Rondo Cup also saw HORAA Esports and Bigetron Esports securing second and third places, respectively, underscoring the event's success and the growing ambition of PUBG Mobile's esports initiatives since 2024.

Ironically, the first tournament to introduce the SMASH rule did not see a winner through this method. Whether this rule will return in future events remains to be seen, as organizers will need to assess its impact on promoting skilled and entertaining gameplay.
