The PMWC 2025 Grand Finals will take place from August 1 to August 3 in Riyadh. Teams will compete across multiple matches for the world title and a share of the multi-million dollar prize pool. A “Smash Rule” will be enforced on Day 3, allowing a team to win early if it meets a specific Match Point target and secures a win.
This qualification is a proud moment for Pakistan’s competitive gaming community, reflecting the growing interest and investments in esports in the country. The team’s achievement, especially in a mobile gaming platform, is expected to inspire greater participation and recognition of local talent in the esports industry.
