Pakistan’s PUBG Mobile team, 4Thrives, continues to impress on the global Esports stage by securing seventh place at the PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC) 2025.

 

In the grand finals, 4Thrives earned 109 points and walked away with $80,000 in prize money. Combined with their group stage performance, where they finished second overall and secured $77,000, the team ended the tournament with total earnings of $157,000 (over 4 crore Pakistani rupees).

 

In the PMWC final, FALAK stood out individually, finishing as the sixth top fragger and the third highest in total damage dealt.

 

Their journey to the PMWC finals began in the survival stage, where they delivered a consistent and confident performance to qualify directly for the grand finals. In the group stage, 4Thrives had taken the second position in the overall standings with 111 kills, 65 eliminations, and two Chicken Dinners.

 

It merits mention that this was the first time a Pakistani team reached the finals of an S-tier PUBG Mobile tournament.

 

The lineup includes Falak Sher “FALAK,” Sameer Khan “Nocki,” Hasnain Rehman “T24OP,” Shayan Asad “IQ,” and Niash Hassan “CAIRO.” Usman Tariq “SHAHEEN” serves as the team’s manager and analyst.

 

IQ is the IGL (in-game leader) of the team, while FALAK is the team’s owner.

 

Formed on December 1, 2024, the team is less than nine months old and competes without any sponsorship. Unlike most top-tier teams backed by major organisations, 4Thrives made their mark through raw talent, hard work, and self-management.

 

Their breakthrough came earlier this year when they finished third at PMSL CSA Spring 2025, securing $18,750 and becoming the first Pakistani team to qualify for the Esports World Cup. Their steady rise through domestic and regional tournaments like PMNC Pakistan laid the foundation for this global success.

 

Looking ahead, 4Thrives is are strong contender to receive a partner team slot in the upcoming PMSL Fall 2025. With the PMGC points they have earned, they are also likely to qualify for the prestigious PUBG Mobile Global Championship 2025.

 

PMWC is part of the larger Esports World Cup (EWC) 2025, which features a total prize pool of $70 million across various popular titles including Tekken, Free Fire, Dota 2, Valorant, and others. The PUBG Mobile World Cup itself offered a massive $3 million prize pool, attracting the best teams from around the globe.
