The PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC) 2025 Gauntlet Stage has wrapped up with Saudi Arabia’s R8 Esports being the standout performer.

The team, which placed 18th at the World Cup earlier this year, came out on top during the Gauntlet Stage, ahead of favourites like China’s ThunderTalk Gaming and Brazil’s Alpha7.

PMGC Gauntlet Stage – How it Happened

The PMGC 2025’s Gauntlet took place from November 24th to 26th as 16 teams competed across three days for seven slots to the grand finals.

There was breathing room for teams, as not placing in the top seven didn’t mean elimination, but instead falling to the group stage.
