Yangon Galacticos Win PUBG Mobile 2025 Regional Clash

The PMRC Rondo Cup 2025, a highlight in the PUBG Mobile esports calendar, concluded this past weekend with an exhilarating finish. Team Yangon Galacticos emerged as champions, securing their victory through a dominant performance that led to an overwhelming points lead. Their triumph earned them the lion's share of the tournament's $20,000 prize pool, courtesy of PUBG.

The competition unfolded on PUBG's newest and most expansive map to date, Rondo. This map hosted 16 teams, all of whom 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' win was particularly notable as it was the first tournament to implement the innovative SMASH format rules. Under these rules, a team needed to accumulate 30+ points and secure a victory in a separate match to clinch the title. However, after six intense matches, no team managed to meet these criteria, leading to Yangon Galacticos' victory by virtue of their superior points tally.

Around the worldIn the race for the top spots, HORAA Esports and Bigetron Esports claimed second and third places, respectively. This outcome underscores the success of the Rondo Cup and highlights the growing momentum of PUBG Mobile's ambitious esports initiatives since 2024.

Interestingly, the inaugural use of the SMASH rule did not result in a win through this method, sparking discussions on its future in the sport. Whether the SMASH format will return in future tournaments hinges on the organizers' assessment of its impact on fostering skilled and engaging gameplay.
