A Pakistani PUBG Mobile team, “4thrives Esports”, has successfully secured a place in the Grand Finals of the PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC) 2025, representing a significant milestone for the nation’s esports community. The tournament is taking place as part of the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The team earned their position among the top 16 finalists after competing in the Survival Stage, where eight teams progressed to join another eight that qualified directly from the Group Stage.
Team Roster and Player Profiles
The roster includes four young talents, all aged 18 years or younger.
Shayan “IQ” Asad (21):
Falak “FALAK” Sher (18)
Sameer “Nocki” Khan (19)
Hasnain “T24OP” Rehman (19)

Grand Finals Schedule
The PMWC 2025 Grand Finals are scheduled to occur from August 1 to August 3 in Riyadh. Teams will engage in several matches to vie for the world title and a portion of the multi-million dollar prize pool. A “Smash Rule” will be implemented on Day 3, permitting a team to secure an early victory if it achieves a specific Match Point target and wins a match.
This qualification represents a significant achievement for Pakistan’s competitive gaming community. With increasing investments and a growing interest in esports throughout the country, the team’s performance on the international stage is expected to motivate further involvement and recognition for local players. Notably, this is taking place on a mobile gaming platform rather than the traditional console or PC.
