The Grand Final Round at PMPL MY/SG Season 3, which was broadcasted live for three consecutive days from 23 April going through 25 April 2021, was a very competitive tournament! It was filled with epic action from all players. There were many unpredictable surprises for the audience, for instance, RSG Malaysia who suddenly seized victory in PMPL MYSG S3 with a total of 196 points, just 19 points above Geek Fam. RSG’s appearance was very surprising as the team only sat in 14th place in the regular season stage. They secured 5 Winner Winner Chicken Dinner and 92 kill points more than any other team. The defending champions Team Secret had to give up their title and settle for 8th place, while the winner of Regular Season, Dingoz MPX finished in 9th position.
“All teams have shown such great performances throughout this tournament, starting from the regular season up to the finals. We’re happy and grateful for all their enthusiasm. Congratulations to the teams who advanced to the next tournament. We are looking forward to welcoming them to a bigger stage with bigger tournament prizes where they will have the opportunity to showcase their skills against more professional players. It’s their chance to seize glory in the world of mobile esports,” said Gaga Li, Head of PUBG Mobile SEA Esports.
In this tournament, the Malaysian RSG team member, Amirol “Kim” Hakiem Sabaruddin was also awarded the Most Valuable Player title winning a cash prize of USD$2,000 for his achievements. Amirol achieved this with 40 total kills dealing damage of 8,773 and with an average of survival for 357 minutes 37 seconds during this competition.
Unfortunately, those teams which ranked 13th to 16th (i.e. iPhongWanted LX, JPNSEA, DMS.FV, and Yoodo Gank) will need to qualify for the next PMPL season. In order to qualify for the upcoming season of PMPL MYSG, they must restart from the PUBG MOBILE Malaysia National Championship.
The PMPL MYSG series is a competition that expands the scope of the esports ecosystem in Malaysia, especially for PUBG MOBILE scene. This competition is also a proving ground for the PUBG MOBILE esports team to be the best.
