PMGC Winners List From 2020 to 2025
Who tops the PMGC winners list, and who won the latest completed edition? Nova Esports lead with 2 titles. Alpha7 Esports are the latest champions, winning PMGC 2025.
I'd compare those titles through the final margins and placement points. Nova's 2021 lead was 47 points, while Dplus won 2024 by 1 despite trailing the runner-up in eliminations.
PMGC Winners List
The PUBG Mobile Global Championship is PUBG Mobile's season-ending global title. These are the completed champions, with scores from the Grand Finals only. The champion's score comes first.
Edition | Champion | Runner-Up | Final Points | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
2020 | Nova Esports | Four Angry Men | 319 to 294 | 25 |
2021 | Nova Esports | Natus Vincere | 222 to 175 | 47 |
2022 | S2G Esports | DRS Gaming | 190 to 158 | 32 |
2023 | IHC Esports | Stalwart Esports | 142 to 138 | 4 |
2024 | Dplus KIA | Regnum Carya Bra Esports | 153 to 152 | 1 |
2025 | Alpha7 Esports | ULF Esports | 142 to 133 | 9 |
The margin is the champion's final score minus the runner-up's: 153 - 152 = 1 for 2024. No league-stage points are added.
Nova's 47-point lead in 2021 is the largest of these 6 finals. The 2023 and 2024 championships were decided by 4 points and 1 point respectively.
PMGC Finals by Year
The edition name follows the competitive season. That puts the first 3 finals in the following calendar year, which explains why PMGC 2022 ended in January 2023.
PMGC 2020
Nova Esports won the inaugural championship for China. Liquipedia's 2020 finals record lists 29 matches, a much longer final than the 18-match editions that followed.
- Finals dates: January 21 to 26, 2021.
- Finals city: Dubai, UAE. Teams played in isolation on a dedicated network after the arena plan changed.
- Finals MVP: Suk of Four Angry Men, as listed in Liquipedia's edition awards.
- Result: Nova finished 25 points ahead of Four Angry Men.
PMGC 2021
Nova retained the title for China. NAVI's final standings confirm 222 points for Nova and 175 for the runner-up.
- Finals dates: January 21 to 23, 2022.
- Finals location: online across multiple locations, with no single finals city. NAVI were among the teams playing from a Singapore hotel.
- Finals MVP: Order of Nova Esports, according to Liquipedia's 2021 awards table.
- Result: a 47-point lead over Natus Vincere.
Nova took only 1 chicken dinner, meaning 1 match win, to NAVI's 3. Their title came from scoring more across the full final.
PMGC 2022
S2G Esports brought the title to Turkey. Level Infinite's championship recap confirms their 190 points and TOP's Finals MVP award.
- Finals dates: January 6 to 8, 2023.
- Finals city: Jakarta, Indonesia, at Jakarta International Expo.
- Finals MVP: TOP of GodLike Stalwart, the Mongolian roster listed under that name for the event.
- Result: S2G beat DRS Gaming's 158 by 32 points.
GodLike Stalwart were a separate entry from India's GodLike Esports. I'd keep the roster distinction in mind when comparing this result with Indian teams' PMGC history.
PMGC 2023
IHC Esports won for Mongolia, with Stalwart Esports making it a Mongolian top 2. PUBG Mobile's official recap names Zyol as the finals MVP.
- Finals dates: December 8 to 10, 2023.
- Finals city: Istanbul, Turkey, at Ulker Sports and Event Hall.
- Finals MVP: Zyol of IHC Esports.
- Result: IHC's 142 beat Stalwart's 138 by 4 points.
The published final scores give IHC 110 eliminations to Stalwart's 83, a 27-point edge. Stalwart earned 23 more placement points, reducing that advantage to 4.
PMGC 2024
Dplus KIA won for South Korea by the narrowest margin on the list. Field Level Media's final report records the 153 to 152 finish and Nolbu's MVP award.
- Finals dates: December 6 to 8, 2024.
- Finals city: London, United Kingdom, at ExCeL London.
- Finals MVP: Nolbu of Dplus KIA.
- Result: Dplus finished 1 point ahead of Regnum Carya Bra Esports.
Both teams won 3 matches. Regnum Carya also had more eliminations, so the title depended on the placement points earned outside those wins.
PMGC 2025
Alpha7 Esports won for Brazil, with ULF Esports second and Alpha Gaming third. PUBG Mobile's 2025 recap confirms the champion and the finals MVP.
- Finals dates: December 12 to 14, 2025.
- Finals city: Bangkok, Thailand, at Siam Paragon.
- Finals MVP: TOP of Alpha Gaming.
- Result: Alpha7's 142 beat ULF's 133 by 9 points.
Alpha7 Esports and Alpha Gaming are different teams. Alpha Gaming scored 100 eliminations but only 30 placement points, finishing 12 points behind the champion.
PMGC Prize Money
The whole-event prize pool and the champion's earnings answer different questions. The figures below are team earnings across the edition, including earlier stages, as listed in Liquipedia's tournament prize tables.
Edition | Whole-Event Prize Pool | Champion's Listed Team Earnings |
|---|---|---|
2020 | $2,000,000 | $712,500 |
2021 | $6,000,000 | $1,596,250 |
2022 | $4,000,000 | $521,000 |
2023 | $3,000,000 | $453,500 |
2024 | $3,000,000 | $457,250 |
2025 | $3,000,000 | $555,000 |
Nova's 2020 finals first prize was $700,000. Their listed tournament earnings were $712,500, a $12,500 difference from earlier stages.
The prize distribution also changed while the total pool stayed level. Alpha7's 2025 earnings exceeded Dplus's 2024 earnings by $555,000 - $457,250 = $97,750, with a $3 million pool in both years.
I'd use the team-earnings column for an organization's tournament return. A comparison of finals first prizes needs the separate finals-only payout for each year.
How the Champions Won
Datagrounds has complete 18-match finals tables for 2021, 2024 and 2025. Each team's points below matches the published final standings, with every match total recorded.
Edition | Team | Wins | Eliminations | Placement Points | Total Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2021 | Nova Esports | 1 | 101 | 121 | 222 |
2021 | Natus Vincere | 3 | 95 | 80 | 175 |
2024 | Dplus KIA | 3 | 94 | 59 | 153 |
2024 | Regnum Carya Bra Esports | 3 | 102 | 50 | 152 |
2025 | Alpha7 Esports | 2 | 76 | 66 | 142 |
2025 | ULF Esports | 4 | 73 | 60 | 133 |
Nova's edge in the 2021 final came mostly from placements. They gained 41 more placement points and 6 more elimination points, producing the 47-point margin.
- Nova: 222 / 18 = 12.3 points per match.
- NAVI: 175 / 18 = 9.7 points per match.
The London result is even clearer in Datagrounds' 2024 final. Dplus gained 9 placement points over Regnum Carya but lost 8 elimination points: 9 - 8 = 1.
For Alpha7's 2025 final, the difference was 6 placement points plus 3 elimination points. ULF's 4 wins doubled Alpha7's 2, yet Alpha7 scored more across all 18 matches.
I wouldn't rank these champions by raw points across years. The 2020 final had 29 matches, and a win paid 15 placement points in 2021 and 2022 versus 10 from 2023 onward.
The 2020, 2022 and 2023 comparisons use published final standings. Datagrounds lacks a 2020 finals table and usable 2022 totals, while its 2023 final covers 17 of 18 matches.
FAQs on PMGC Winners
Has an Indian team won PMGC?
No Indian team won PMGC from 2020 to 2025. GodLike Esports' 13th-place finish in the 2021 Grand Finals remains India's best result across those completed editions.
Does a PMWC title count as a PMGC win?
No. The PUBG Mobile World Cup and PUBG Mobile Global Championship are separate competitions. This winners list counts only PMGC titles.
Can a player win PMGC Finals MVP without winning the championship?
Yes. Suk won the 2020 finals award with runner-up Four Angry Men. TOP won it with GodLike Stalwart in 2022 and Alpha Gaming in 2025, while other teams won those championships.
Do the champion earnings include the MVP's individual award?
The prize figures here follow the team prize tables. Individual MVP awards are listed separately, including TOP's Porsche Cayenne prize in 2025, and aren't added to the champion's team earnings.
What I'd Watch Next
I'd watch whether Alpha7 can become the first team since Nova to defend this title. The PMGC 2026 schedule and format is the next stop for the Istanbul final on December 11 to 13.
For the final itself, I'd compare placement points alongside eliminations. London's 1-point finish is enough reason to keep both columns in view.
