Yangon Galacticos Win PUBG Mobile 2025 Regional Clash

The PMRC Rondo Cup 2025, the latest thrilling chapter in PUBG Mobile's esports saga, wrapped up this past weekend, crowning Yangon Galacticos as the triumphant victors. Their stellar performance not only secured them the championship title but also the lion's share of the tournament's $20,000 prize pool, courtesy of PUBG.

The competition unfolded on PUBG's newest and largest map to date, Rondo. This expansive battleground hosted 16 elite teams that 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 their victory under the innovative SMASH format rules introduced at the PMRC Rondo Cup. According to these rules, a team needed to amass over 30 points and subsequently secure a win in a different match to claim the championship. However, after six intense matches, no team managed to meet these criteria, leading to Yangon Galacticos' win due to their commanding points lead.

Securing second and third places were HORAA Esports and Bigetron Esports, respectively, underscoring the success of the Rondo Cup and affirming PUBG Mobile's ambitious esports strategy that has been gaining momentum since 2024.

Interestingly, the inaugural tournament to feature the SMASH rule did not see a winner emerge through this method, sparking curiosity about its future in PUBG Mobile tournaments. Whether the SMASH format will return likely hinges on its potential to foster more skilled and engaging gameplay, a decision left to the event organizers.
