The PUBG MOBILE Global Championship (PMGC) 2025 concluded with one of the most dramatic and unforgettable Grand Finals in the tournament’s history, delivering a nail-biting finish that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the very last match.
Held on 16 December 2025, the global showdown brought together the world’s elite PUBG MOBILE teams, including five representatives from Southeast Asia, all competing for ultimate supremacy on the international stage.
Emerging victorious was Brazilian powerhouse ALPHA7, who lifted the PMGC trophy for the first time after six consecutive appearances at the prestigious tournament.
Their triumph marked a defining moment for the organisation, showcasing resilience, consistency, and composure under immense pressure. Despite the SMASH Rules being in effect, all six matches were played on the final day, with the championship only decided in the final game — a fitting conclusion to an already intense tournament.
ALPHA7’s Long-Awaited Breakthrough
ALPHA7’s journey to the PMGC 2025 title was built on steady performances and strategic discipline throughout the Grand Finals. While several teams threatened to trigger SMASH conditions, ALPHA7’s ability to consistently secure valuable placement points proved decisive.
Their calm execution in high-pressure situations ultimately allowed them to maintain a commanding points lead and secure the championship when it mattered most.
Adding to their success, TOP from ALPHA GAMING was crowned Finals MVP, earning his second PMGC MVP title. His outstanding individual performance throughout the finals highlighted his elite-level skill and leadership, and he was rewarded with a Porsche Cayenne, underlining the scale and prestige of the global tournament.
Strong Competition and Standout Performances
The Grand Finals saw intense competition across the leaderboard. ULF Esports delivered an impressive comeback on Day 3, finishing as runners-up after mounting late pressure on the leaders.
Although they came close, they fell just short of overtaking ALPHA7’s points total or triggering SMASH, settling for a well-earned second place.
The Mongolian squad continued to prove their consistency at the highest level, finishing once again within the overall Top 3, reinforcing their reputation as one of PUBG MOBILE’s most reliable global contenders.
Southeast Asia Shines on the Global Stage
Teams from Southeast Asia delivered commendable performances across the tournament, reflecting the region’s growing competitiveness in the global PUBG MOBILE ecosystem.
Indonesia’s Alter Ego secured an eighth-place finish overall, with standout player ROSEMARY receiving the Best IGL (In-Game Leader) award for his strategic leadership.
Malaysia’s ALLIANCE showed significant improvement compared to last year’s showing. The team successfully battled through the Group Stage and advanced to the Last Chance stage before narrowly missing out on a Grand Finals berth, where only the top two teams qualified.
Their performance highlighted Malaysia’s continued progress on the international esports stage.
Vietnam experienced mixed results, with D’XAVIER emerging as the highest-ranked team from the country, while Team Flash made a strong impression as a PMNC representative. In their first-ever PMGC appearance, Team Flash successfully qualified for the Grand Finals, marking a major milestone for the organisation.
Host nation Thailand faced a challenging conclusion to the tournament, as invited team Vampire Esports and Group Stage qualifiers eArena were unable to replicate their earlier form during the Finals.
Looking Ahead to the Future of PUBG MOBILE Esports
Reflecting on the tournament, Eugene Chin, Country Manager for Tencent Games in Malaysia, praised the teams’ efforts and reaffirmed the company’s commitment to esports development.
“We are extremely proud of ALLIANCE for their resilience and determination in competing among the world’s best. Their journey reflects the growth and potential of our local esports ecosystem.”
As PMGC 2025 comes to a close, the thrilling finale and rising regional talent signal a promising future for PUBG MOBILE esports, with fans already looking forward to the next chapter of global competition.
