Alpha7 Esports wins PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2025 title

Alpha7 Esports claimed the $500,000 first prize at the PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2025 on Sunday in Bangkok, Thailand.

Alpha7 finished the three-day Grand Finals with 142 points, nine clear of second-place ULF Esports. Alpha Gaming (not related to Alpha7) rounded out the top three with 130 points.

Alpha Gaming's Burenbayar "TOP" Altangerel of Mongolia was named Grand Finals MVP and took home a Porsche Cayenne as his prize.

The 16 teams to make it to the Grand Finals played 18 games from Friday through Sunday, six per day. Taking first place in a game netted a team 10 points, a big gap over the six awarded to second place and five for third. All teams tallied one point per kill in every game.

Alpha7 opened a big lead in the standings with a red-hot run during Saturday's action, which they started by finishing fourth, first, first and second in the first four matches and racking up 25 points from kills along the way.

Come Sunday, Alpha7's best finish was third place in Game 17, and they only added 12 points on kills over the six games, but it was still enough to come out on top.

Forty teams began the tournament with a $3 million prize pool, and 16 qualified for this weekend's grand finals in Bangkok: seven through the opening stage called The Gauntlet, six through the Group Stage, two more from the Last Chance matches and one final team (Vampire Esports) as the host country's invite.

Prize money was distributed to all teams at each stage of the tournament. R8 Esports placed first in The Gauntlet and won $60,000; Alpha Gaming and DRX each received $46,000 for finishing atop their respective groups in the Group Stage; and Team Flash and Alter Ego Ares picked up $10,000 and $9,500 for winning the two Last Chance spots.
