Pakistan's PUBG Mobile team Asi8 has become the number one team in South Asia.
Founded in Pakistan, AS i8 Esports has been a prominent name in the PUBG Mobile circuit for years. The team’s journey to becoming South Asia’s top team has been anything but easy. They have consistently delivered strong performances in major tournaments, including the PUBG Mobile Pro League (PMPL) Pakistan and South Asia events. Their ability to adapt, strategize, and maintain composure under pressure has been key to their success.
AS i8 Esports is not just a team; it’s a family of talented individuals who excel in their roles. The roster includes players like Uzair Ahmed (UZM), the team captain, and Raja Haseeb (CRYPTO), a star player known for his tactical gameplay. Under the guidance of Shahbaz Ahmed (TRYNDA), the team’s founder, CEO, and coach, they have developed a winning formula that combines skill, strategy, and teamwork.
The team also benefits from a strong support system, including content creators and managers who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the players can focus on their game.
AS i8 Esports’ rise to the top has had a significant impact on the esports landscape in South Asia. They have proven that with determination and hard work, teams from this region can compete on a global stage. Their success has inspired a new generation of players in Pakistan and beyond to pursue esports as a viable career.
i8 Esports has firmly established itself as a powerhouse in the South Asian esports scene. Their rise to prominence is credited not only to their exceptional teamwork and strategy but also to their star players, IQ and FALAK, who have played pivotal roles in the team's success.
FALAK & IQ's performance
IQ's ability to make high-pressure decisions has often resulted in game-changing moments, such as winning critical 1v3 or 1v4 battles. FALAK has consistently been one of the top fraggers in tournaments, racking up kills and securing key eliminations for the team. Both players excel in communication, ensuring smooth coordination during high-stakes matches.
Pakistani PUBG players facing sponsor and visa issues for PMGO Brazil
Pakistani Player Unknown Battlegrounds (PUBG) players faced sponsor and visa issues for the PUBG Mobile Global Open (PMGO) Brazil, which was a LAN event.
Pakistan’s PUBG Mobile teams, including one of the best teams, Agonxi8, and Seventh Elements, likely missed out on the opportunity to play in the PUBG Mobile Global Open (PMGO) Brazil. PMGO was an offline tournament, and the offline qualifiers of this event took place from 28 March to 30 March.
The Pakistani teams did not get their visas on time due to Pakistan’s visa policies. Even if they had managed to get a visa, they would have had to manage travel, hotel, and other costs themselves in Brazil, an amount close to PKR three to four million. The prize pool of the LAN qualifiers was just $2,000 for each team, and unfortunately, if they could not qualify for the next stage, they would have borne a heavy loss.
The Pakistani government was not supportive of eSports. There was no platform to grow the eSports community in the country.
The government needed to take serious notice of this problem because eSports was a huge income source for many players.
