Yangon Galacticos Win PUBG Mobile's 2025 Regional Clash

The PMRC Rondo Cup 2025, the latest thrilling PUBG Mobile esports tournament, concluded this past weekend, marking a significant event in the mobile gaming community. The prestigious tournament culminated in a resounding victory for team Yangon Galacticos, who clinched the title and the lion's share of the impressive $20,000 prize pool sponsored by PUBG.

The tournament unfolded on PUBG's newest and largest map to date, Rondo, which served as the battleground for 16 highly competitive teams. These teams earned their spots through a series of qualifying tournaments, including notable performances by D'Xavier at PMSL SEA Spring, Rangers at PMCL Spring, and R3GICIDE at PMSL CSA Fall.

Yangon Galacticos' triumph was especially notable as the PMRC Rondo Cup introduced the innovative SMASH format rules. Under this new ruleset, a team needed to accumulate 30+ points and secure a victory in a separate match to win the tournament outright. However, after six intense matches, no team managed to meet these criteria, leading to Yangon Galacticos' win due to their overwhelming points lead.

The competition was fierce, with HORAA Esports and Bigetron Esports securing the second and third places, respectively, showcasing the high level of skill and strategy at play. The success of the Rondo Cup underscores PUBG Mobile's ambitious esports plans, which have been gaining momentum since 2024.

Interestingly, the inaugural use of the SMASH rule did not result in a win through this format, sparking discussions on its future in the esports scene. Whether the SMASH format will be reintroduced in future tournaments will depend on the organizers' assessment of its impact on promoting skilled and entertaining gameplay.
