The PMRC Rondo Cup 2025 wrapped up this past weekend, culminating in an electrifying victory for team Yangon Galacticos. The team clinched the title, and with it, the lion's share of the $20,000 prize pool provided by PUBG, due to their overwhelming points lead. This thrilling conclusion took place on PUBG's latest and largest map to date, Rondo, which hosted 16 teams that earned their spots through various qualifiers such as D'Xavier at PMSL SEA Spring, Rangers at PMCL Spring, and R3GICIDE at PMSL CSA Fall.

The tournament introduced the innovative SMASH format rules, where teams needed to accumulate 30+ points and secure a victory in a different match to win. However, after six intense matches, no team managed to meet these criteria, leading to Yangon Galacticos' win based on their superior points total.

With HORAA Esports and Bigetron Esports securing second and third places respectively, the Rondo Cup has undoubtedly been a triumph for PUBG Mobile and its growing esports aspirations since 2024. Interestingly, the first tournament to implement the SMASH rule did not see a winner under this new format, sparking discussions on whether it will make a comeback in future events to foster more skilled and engaging gameplay.

For dedicated PUBG Mobile fans looking for a change of pace from high-octane action, consider exploring the latest edition of Ahead of the Game. You might find the upcoming tower defense release, Sushimon, an intriguing alternative to try out.
