PMGC 2025 Grand Finalists: First 7 Teams Officially Confirmed

After​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ the decisive milestone where the Gauntlet Stage comes to an end and the first seven PMGC 2025 Grand Finalists are announced, the PUBG MOBILE Global Championship 2025 is in full swing. The teams achieved their entries through continuous fight performance, effective rotations, and from-the-upside-down game strategies, and thus didn’t the other 16 teams of the Gauntlet lobby have a chance to catch up with them?

The Gauntlet was the first elimination stage of PMGC 2025, where only seven seats for the Grand Finals were up for grabs. Almost from the very beginning, the competition was fierce, and the teams that quickly adapted to the pace and positioning were those who finally made it. The top performers will be flying to Bangkok this December to compete for the world title.

PMGC 2025 Grand Finalists Revealed: All 7 Teams

These teams qualified directly from the Gauntlet after delivering consistently strong overall placements:

• R8 Esports
• ThunderTalk Gaming
• MadBulls
• Kara Esports
• Alpha7 Esports
• ULF Esports
• D’Xavier

Besides, each squad qualified through various kinds of power. R8 Esports delivered the highest level of consistency across the broad series of maps, and FireZone Gaming took advantage of the most pressurised end-core situations. MadBulls and Kara Esports focused on executing well-planned rotations. At the same time, Alpha7 Esports coordinated the veterans' plays, and ULF Esports and D’Xavier secured tickets for the next challenge with their dominating mid-game and rapid, decisive endings in the PUBG MOBILE Global Championship 2025.

What​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ the Gauntlet Results Mean for the Tournament

There are only seven PMGC 2025 Grand Finalists, and the rest of nine slots are open. The standings that led to these early qualifications are summarised in the PMGC 2025 Gauntlet Stage Day 3 Points Table. These will be decided through the Group Stage and Last Chance rounds, which will feature regional champions and top-performing international squads fighting for qualification.

The teams that have already qualified can, of course, use the early qualification to prepare for the Final and polish their strategies.

It is a fact that competitive pressure is heightened due to the early meeting of the qualifications of Alpha7 Esports and D’Xavier.

The remaining teams may be influenced in their strategies by the possibility that a certain team may skip further elimination rounds, which take place at the quarters, where every match left will be the last one to determine the Grand Finals lineup.

What’s Next on the Road to the Finals

The final list of the PMGC 2025 Grand Finalists will be figured out after the six qualifiers from the Group Stage, and the Last Chance two slots will be determined. The focus will then be on the December Grand Finals in Bangkok after confirming all 16 teams.

Good combinations of seasoned players and rising talents, along with strong synergy, are evident in the first wave of qualifiers, which in turn set high expectations for the championship's concluding phases.

The tournament will be ongoing, and the race to complete the full list of PMGC 2025 Grand Finalists will be the main focus, leading to what will probably be one of the most competitive global finals in PMGC ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌history.
