South Asia's PUBG Mobile Teams Ranked by 2026 Results
Which PUBG Mobile South Asia teams had the strongest regional results in 2026? 4Thrives Esports lead with both PMGO regional titles, and the same 3 teams filled both podiums.
I'd put Trained to Kill narrowly ahead of Horaa Esports among the repeat finalists. They tie on average finishing position, so September's better result gives T2K my tiebreak. PMNC Fall also puts Hidden Leaf Esports in the challenger group.
PUBG Mobile South Asia Teams Ranked
The 7 repeat finalists provide the fairest season-long regional comparison. My order uses their average final placing, with the newer result breaking ties. Every team below played 40 PMGO regional final maps.
Placings follow Liquipedia's published Season 1 results and Season 2 results. Finishes mean eliminations, and the rate divides each team's combined finishes by 40.
My Rank | Team | May Place | September Place | Average Place | Finishes Per Map |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 4Thrives Esports | 1st | 1st | 1.0 | 7.68 |
2 | Trained to Kill | 3rd | 2nd | 2.5 | 5.73 |
3 | Horaa Esports | 2nd | 3rd | 2.5 | 6.63 |
4 | LF Esports | 5th | 7th | 6.0 | 4.70 |
5 | 313 Esports | 11th | 6th | 8.5 | 4.03 |
6 | A1 RG Esports | 13th | 5th | 9.0 | 4.25 |
7 | CMF Esports | 12th | 14th | 13.0 | 2.40 |
T2K's calculation is (3 + 2) / 2 = 2.5. Horaa's is (2 + 3) / 2 = 2.5, so their September order decides the tie.
This ranks repeat-finalist consistency. Hidden Leaf and The Gaming Broskis have only the September PMGO final in this sample. Their claims deserve a separate comparison below, rather than an invented result for May.
The Events Behind the Ranking
Both PMGO regional finals brought together 16 teams. PMNC South Asia Fall supplied qualifiers to the second event, so it carried a different field and fewer final maps.
Event | Final Dates | Final Maps | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
PMGO Season 1 South Asia Finals | May 14 to 17, 2026 | 20 | 4Thrives Esports |
PMNC South Asia Fall | August 29 and 30, 2026 | 10 | Trained to Kill |
PMGO Season 2 South Asia Finals | September 16 to 19, 2026 | 20 | 4Thrives Esports |
The organizer's September event page confirms the 16-team final in Nepal. Its field included separate Pakistan and Bangladesh qualifying routes, alongside the PMNC South Asia route.
Liquipedia's PMNC Fall format and results explain the distinction:
- PMNC South Asia's playoff entries came from Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Afghanistan.
- Its top 3 reached the September PMGO regional final.
- 4Thrives and Horaa entered that PMGO final through direct invitations.
- Pakistan and Bangladesh had their own PMNC qualifying allocations.
Adding PMNC points to the PMGO totals would give T2K 10 extra maps while treating the invited teams' absence as a weakness. I'd keep those competitions separate.
The Regional Leaders
4Thrives have the strongest title record, while Horaa have the better combined finish rate than T2K. Datagrounds' complete May final records and September final records supply the match totals below.
4Thrives Esports
4Thrives won both regional finals while leading each one in finishes. Their advantage survives the change of venue and the gap between seasons.
- May: 168 finishes and 4 chicken dinners in 20 maps.
- September: 139 finishes and 3 chicken dinners in 20 maps.
- Combined: 307 finishes and 7 wins, averaging 7.68 finishes per map.
- Their finish advantage over Horaa was 42 across 40 maps, or 1.05 per map.
Their September finish rate fell to 6.95 from May's 8.40. They still finished ahead of the region's other leading teams, which makes the repeated title more persuasive than a single high-scoring weekend.
Regional results alone can't establish international form. The separate 4Thrives PMGO profile covers their global campaign and its very different outcomes.
Trained to Kill
T2K moved from 3rd to 2nd across the PMGO regional finals. Between those events, they won PMNC Fall by 21 points, as listed in Liquipedia's final results.
Their 2 PMGO finals ended on exactly the same total, but the scoring changed:
- May: 108 finishes plus 80 placement points made 188.
- September: 121 finishes plus 67 placement points made 188.
- The extra 13 finishes offset a loss of 13 placement points.
That gives me a specific reason to watch T2K's placement scoring next. They increased their eliminations, but the same total still left them behind 4Thrives.
Horaa Esports
Horaa's combined elimination output makes the argument for 2nd close. They recorded 265 finishes against T2K's 229 over the same 40 maps, a gap of 36.
- Horaa won 7 maps across the 2 finals, matching 4Thrives.
- T2K won 5 over the same sample.
- Horaa's finishes fell from 145 in May to 120 in September.
- Their September final ended 3rd, behind T2K.
I'd put Horaa ahead if the question were combined finish production. For final placing with a recency tiebreak, T2K take 2nd. That is a narrow regional judgment with a visible rule behind it.
The Horaa Esports profile follows their international results. Those results don't contribute to this regional order.
PMNC Fall's Challengers
PMNC Fall exposed how small the gap was between reaching the wider regional lobby and missing it. Datagrounds' 10-map final record matches Liquipedia's published match rows for these teams.
PMNC Place | Team | Finishes | Points | September PMGO Place |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Trained to Kill | 69 | 111 | 2nd |
2 | Hidden Leaf Esports | 59 | 90 | 4th |
3 | The Gaming Broskis | 60 | 86 | 8th |
4 | Royal Dragons Esports | 59 | 84 | Did Not Qualify |
5 | Abrupt Slayers | 50 | 82 | Did Not Qualify |
6 | DRS Gaming | 47 | 76 | Did Not Qualify |
The Gaming Broskis took the last qualifying place by just 2 points. DRS missed that place by 10 after finishing 4th in May's wider regional final. That change leaves a substantial hole in their season comparison.
Hidden Leaf Esports
Hidden Leaf are my strongest challenger outside the repeat-finalist ranking. They finished 2nd at PMNC, then 4th in the September PMGO regional final.
- They won 4 of September's 20 maps, the highest count in that final.
- Their 97 finishes averaged 4.85 per map.
- T2K recorded 121 finishes in the same lobby, averaging 6.05.
Hidden Leaf already converted more matches into wins than any opponent in September. I'd watch whether their finish rate can rise without sacrificing those late-game results.
The Gaming Broskis
The Gaming Broskis recorded 60 finishes in 10 PMNC final maps, then 85 in 20 PMGO regional final maps. Their rate fell from 6.00 to 4.25 as they moved into the wider field.
An 8th-place PMGO finish gives them a useful starting point. I'd want another regional final before putting them alongside teams that sustained results across both seasons.
The Biggest Improvements
A1 RG and 313 both climbed sharply in the second PMGO regional final. Datagrounds' match totals show different scoring changes behind those gains.
Team | Place Change | Finish Change | Placement Point Change |
|---|---|---|---|
A1 RG Esports | 13th to 5th, up 8 | 56 to 114, up 58 | 20 to 44, up 24 |
313 Esports | 11th to 6th, up 5 | 66 to 95, up 29 | 22 to 60, up 38 |
A1's larger gain came from eliminations. For 313, the placement-point gain was larger. Neither change proves a specific tactical adjustment, but each gives fans a different number to follow next time.
LF's 5th and 7th keep them ahead of both on average placing. If I were choosing on September form alone, A1 and 313 would sit above LF. Their weaker May results explain the season-long order.
FAQs on PUBG Mobile South Asia Teams
Are the PMGO South Asia finals the global PMGO finals?
No. The South Asia finals are regional qualifying events. The global PMGO main events have separate fields and results. Winning a regional final does not mean winning the global title.
Is this the official South Asia championship points table?
No. This is an editorial consistency ranking of the 7 teams that reached both PMGO regional finals. It uses average final placing and the September result to break a tie. Official championship points use their own rules.
Do these team results prove that the rosters stayed unchanged?
No. A team name across events does not establish an unchanged playing lineup. These comparisons track team results and make no claim about individual player continuity.
Can regional finish rates predict PMGC results?
They can describe regional performance, but they cannot establish a global finishing position. Different opponents and tournament formats change the comparison. A 40-map regional sample is not a PMGC forecast.
What I'd Watch Next
I'd watch whether Hidden Leaf can match their September win count with more finishes against the leading teams. Another strong shared-lobby final would justify comparing them directly with the repeat podium teams.
For the international calendar, I'd use the PMGC 2026 guide. I'd judge that event on its own matches before carrying South Asia's regional order into a global prediction.
