Yangon Galacticos Win PUBG Mobile's 2025 Regional Clash

The PMRC Rondo Cup 2025 concluded with an exciting finish this past weekend, as team Yangon Galacticos emerged as the champions. Their victory earned them the lion's share of the impressive $20,000 prize pool, courtesy of PUBG.

The tournament was held on PUBG's newest and largest map to date, Rondo. Sixteen teams qualified for the Cup through various tournaments, including D'Xavier at PMSL SEA Spring, Rangers at PMCL Spring, and R3GICIDE at PMSL CSA Fall.

Yangon Galacticos clinched the win under the newly introduced SMASH format rules. These rules required a team to accumulate over 30 points and secure a victory in a different match to claim the title. However, after six matches, no team met these criteria, leading to Yangon Galacticos' triumph due to their substantial points lead.

Around the world, HORAA Esports and Bigetron Esports secured second and third places, respectively, underscoring the success of the Rondo Cup and PUBG Mobile's ambitious esports initiatives that have been gaining momentum since 2024.

Interestingly, the first tournament to implement the SMASH rule did not see a winner through this method, raising questions about its future use. Whether the organizers will bring it back will depend on its potential to enhance skilled and engaging gameplay in upcoming events.
