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 as the champions, securing the victory with their overwhelming points lead. This win means they will take home the lion's share of the $20,000 prize pool provided by PUBG.

The tournament was hosted on PUBG's newest and largest map to date, the Rondo map. It featured 16 teams who earned their spots through various qualifying tournaments, including D'Xavier at PMSL SEA Spring, Rangers at PMCL Spring, and R3GICIDE at PMSL CSA Fall.

Yangon Galacticos' triumph came under the newly introduced SMASH format rules. According to these rules, a team needed to accumulate 30+ points and then secure a victory in a different match to win. However, since no team managed to meet these criteria after six matches, the victory was awarded to Yangon Galacticos due to their significant lead in points.

Around the worldHORAA Esports and Bigetron Esports claimed the second and third spots, respectively, highlighting the success of the Rondo Cup and PUBG Mobile's ambitious esports plans that have been gaining momentum since 2024.

Interestingly, despite being the first tournament to introduce the SMASH rule, no team won under this new ruleset. The future of the SMASH format in upcoming tournaments will likely depend on whether organizers believe it will foster more skilled and entertaining gameplay.
