The PMRC Rondo Cup 2025, a highly anticipated PUBG Mobile esports tournament, concluded this past weekend with a thrilling finish. Team Yangon Galacticos emerged as the champions, securing their victory through an overwhelming points lead. As a result, they claimed the lion's share of the $20,000 prize pool generously provided by PUBG.
The tournament unfolded on PUBG's newest and largest map to date, Rondo. This expansive battleground hosted 16 teams, each having earned their spot through various qualifying tournaments such as D'Xavier at PMSL SEA Spring, Rangers at PMCL Spring, and R3GICIDE at PMSL CSA Fall.
A significant highlight of the PMRC Rondo Cup was the introduction of the innovative SMASH format rules. According to these rules, a team needed to accumulate over 30 points and secure a victory in a separate match to clinch the title. However, since no team managed to meet these criteria after six matches, Yangon Galacticos were crowned champions based on their superior points total.
With HORAA Esports and Bigetron Esports securing the second and third positions respectively, the Rondo Cup has undoubtedly marked a significant milestone in PUBG Mobile's ambitious esports strategy, which has been gaining momentum since 2024.
Ironically, the first tournament to introduce the SMASH rule did not see a winner emerge through this format. Whether the SMASH rule will return in future tournaments remains to be seen, as organizers will assess if it encourages more skilled and entertaining gameplay.
For dedicated PUBG Mobile fans looking for a change of pace from intense shooting action, consider exploring the latest edition of Ahead of the Game. You might find the upcoming tower defense game, Sushimon, an intriguing alternative to try out.
