Yangon Galacticos Win PUBG Mobile's 2025 Regional Clash

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

This prestigious event was hosted on PUBG's newest and largest map to date, Rondo. The map saw intense competition among 16 teams, all of whom had earned their place in the Cup through rigorous qualifiers, including D'Xavier at PMSL SEA Spring, Rangers at PMCL Spring, and R3GICIDE at PMSL CSA Fall.

Yangon Galacticos clinched the victory under the tournament's newly introduced SMASH format rules. According to these rules, a team needed to accumulate 30+ points and secure a win in a different match to claim the championship. However, after six matches, no team met these criteria, and the title was awarded to Yangon Galacticos due to their overwhelming points lead.

In the race for the podium, HORAA Esports and Bigetron Esports secured second and third places, respectively, showcasing the competitive spirit and success of the Rondo Cup. This event underscores PUBG Mobile's ambitious esports trajectory, which has been on an upward trend since 2024.

Interestingly, despite the introduction of the SMASH rule, no team won through this new format, adding an ironic twist to the tournament's outcome. Whether the SMASH rule will return in future events remains to be seen, as organizers will likely assess its impact on promoting skilled and entertaining gameplay.
