Horaa Esports and Nepal's PUBG Mobile Rise

Who are Horaa Esports, and how far has Nepal's PUBG Mobile team progressed in 2026? They reached 3 global finals, improving from 12th in Jakarta to 8th at the World Cup and 4th in Lahore.

I think their strongest improvement is how often they earn placement points in global finals. Their Lahore result came with fewer finishes than Jakarta, and that changes what I'd watch when they reach PMGC.

Horaa Esports Results

Horaa's 2026 global results have improved at each final. Liquipedia's Jakarta placement list puts them 12th, and the later published standings record their climb.

The World Cup total comes from Sports Digest's published final standings. The PMGO totals also match the complete map records in Datagrounds.

Those final positions are encouraging, but the points need their match counts beside them. The World Cup offered 18 maps, while each PMGO final ran for 12. Jakarta and Lahore give us the cleaner scoring comparison.

Jakarta Groups and Finals

Horaa's Jakarta group performance already showed they could win fights against an international field. According to Datagrounds' Season 1 records, they topped Group A before losing scoring pace in the final.

• Group A produced 53 finishes in 6 maps, or 8.83 per map.
• The Grand Finals produced 49 finishes in 12 maps, or 4.08 per map.
• Horaa won 1 group match and none in the final.

They earned more finishes in the shorter group stage than in the entire final. So, I'd be cautious about using a strong qualifying day to predict a title challenge.

Horaa Esports in South Asia

Horaa remained near the top of South Asia, although their regional results were less consistent than their global-final progression. Liquipedia lists them 2nd in the first regional final, followed by 3rd in September.

Datagrounds records complete 20-map results for both finals. The published placements and source match scores agree with these totals.

4Thrives won both regional titles. Trained to Kill finished 2nd in September on 188 points, putting another Nepali team 13 ahead of Horaa.

That gives Horaa a useful regional benchmark. Their global results improved even while their gap to the South Asia champion grew.

Nepal also hosted the second final. The organizer's event page places it at Dashrath Rangasala Covered Hall, with 16 teams competing from September 16 to 19.

The first South Asia final and second South Asia final have separate Datagrounds records. I'd compare them separately from the global events, because the opponent fields change.

Placement Points

Horaa's largest improvement between the PMGO finals came from placement scoring. Datagrounds' complete Jakarta and Lahore final records cover 12 maps each.

The scoring change works out like this:

• Placement points increased by 29: 39 minus 10.
• Finish points fell by 2: 47 minus 49.
• Total points increased by 27: 29 minus 2.

Horaa reached a scoring placement in 9 Lahore matches, compared with 3 in Jakarta. That gave them more ways to build a useful match score when their finish count was low.

I wouldn't turn those placements into a claim about better rotations or a new tactical system. The results establish what improved; they don't establish which decisions caused it.

PMGO Season 2 Title Race

Horaa led the Lahore final after Day 1, then struggled to turn that position into a championship. Sports Digest's result report confirms their overnight lead and 4th-place finish.

Datagrounds' match records put numbers on the missed opportunity:

• The first 6 maps brought 57 points.
• Match 7 added 11, taking Horaa to 68 against a match-point threshold of 67.
• Matches 8 to 12 brought another 18 points and no chicken dinner.
• Their only final-map win came in Match 4, before the title-winning phase.

Horaa had reached the threshold, but the winning chicken dinner never followed. The Smash Rule explainer covers that distinction without treating the points leader as the automatic champion.

Wolves won Match 12 and the title on 86 points. AK Gold finished 2nd on 94 and 4K finished 3rd on 88, ahead of Horaa's 86.

Horaa added 29 points on Day 2 after earning 57 on Day 1. For me, that drop is the clearest qualification beside their best global finish of the year.

Horaa Esports Roster

Liquipedia's 2026 South Asia event entries list the same 5 player handles across both seasons. The September organizer page corroborates the player list, with some differences in capitalization and handle styling.

• JiGGL3, listed as captain
• SkY
• NoFear
• SleepY
• HaitDami

Dev1ce is listed as coach. These are event roster records, rather than confirmation of the playing lineup for every match at PMGC.

I'd keep individual player comparisons within the event being discussed. Datagrounds' team directory provides a starting point for exploring the team results without treating event-specific player entries as career totals.

Nepal at PMGC 2026

Horaa and Trained to Kill both qualified for the PMGC Group Stage through South Asia points, as listed by Liquipedia. The official PUBG Mobile Esports group draw places them in different groups.

• Horaa play in Group Green on November 29 and 30.
• Trained to Kill play in Group Red on December 2 and 3.
• Horaa's named opponents include FURIA, eArena and Team Flash.

That gives Nepal 2 teams with separate opportunities to advance. It also gives Horaa another global lobby in which to test whether their Lahore placement scoring holds up.

The PMGC 2026 guide covers the stages and qualification routes. I'd use it for the format while judging Horaa on how often they stay in scoring positions.

What I'd Watch Next

I'd watch Horaa's low-finish games in Group Green on November 29 and 30. If those matches still produce placement points, the Lahore improvement has a better chance of surviving a different lobby.

A repeat of the Jakarta drop would make me more cautious. For now, I think their placement scoring gives Nepal's fans a concrete reason to expect another competitive global run.
