In a landmark moment for Pakistan’s esports scene, local team 4thrives Esports has qualified for the Grand Finals of the PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC) 2025, being held as part of the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The team secured their spot in the top 16 after a strong performance in the Survival Stage, where eight teams advanced to join eight others already qualified from the Group Stage.
Team Players Profile:
- Shayan “IQ” Asad (21)
- Falak “FALAK” Sher (18)
- Sameer “Nocki” Khan (19)
- Hasnain “T24OP” Rehman (19)

These young players, as young as 18, will represent Pakistan in the Grand Finals set to take place August 1–3. Teams will battle across multiple matches for the world title and a share of a multi-million dollar prize pool.
A key highlight of the final day is the “Smash Rule,” which allows a team to win early if it hits a Match Point target and secures a victory in the same game.
This achievement is a major boost for Pakistan’s growing mobile esports community and shows the country’s potential on the global gaming stage.
The success of 4thrives Esports is expected to inspire more young talent and attract further investment in the esports sector.
