Unlike the previous season of PMCO earlier this year, in PMCO Fall Split, Indian PUBG Mobile teams now no longer have their own separate Regional Qualifiers. Instead, India is now merged into the new combined South Asia region, which means Indian teams would have to fight against PUBG Mobile teams from all over the South Asia region. Thus, the battles will be much more challenging for Indian teams to get a slot in the PMCO Fall Split Grand Finals. That being said, it seems that they are doing just fine, at least in the Group Stage
Yesterday was the last day of PMCO South Asia Group Stage. Orange Rock, MegaX, Xspark took all the top 3 spots thanks to their consistent performance in the last 6 days. Many other Indian teams also made it to Semi-Finals such as 8Bit, MEGA Stars, Team Insidious, Team SouL,... In fact, half of the teams which will go to Semi-Finals are Indian Teams. You can check out South Asia Group Stage overall standings list below.
Team Orange Rock claimed dominance with a total of 4 Chicken Dinner and almost 50 points lead ahead of the second-place team, MegaX. Team Orange Rock is on the rise with many great achievements recently such as the first place at Yuvin Community Cup, PMIT Pune Group C Grand Finals and now PMCO Regional Group Stage. Other teams should better be watch out for them as they might be one who takes the crown this year.
Right after MegaX is Xspark at the third place with a close result to MegaX. With 2 ex-member of team SouL, Ronak and Owais along with Sc0utOP, team Xspark didn't fail the expectation of their fans with 2 Chicken Dinner and 88 kill points.
SOLTISQUAD did a great job catching up and placed 4th. All the top 4 teams will be going to the Semi-Finals in a very dominance fashion.
8Bit, MegaStars, SynerGR Retribution, and MaximusX are the next on the list with only a few points apart from each other.
INS down to Reckoning Esports will also be in the Semi-Finals as well, including Team SouL in the 10th position. With the recent team shuffle, team SouL seems to need some more time to train and cooperate to become better.
ENITY GAMING recently did a great job in the first few days of the Group Stage. However, they couldn't play on the last day because they were participating in the Vodafone 5G ESL Mobile Open in Milan. Yet, even though they didn't even play in the last day, they got 98 points in total. They also achieved third place in Milan and got ₹7.7 lakh.
Team SynerGE made an unbelievable comeback to the 21st position from the 30th position (50 points to 82 points) along with 1 Chicken Dinner and now they are going to the Semi-Finals as well.
IND, the previous qualifier for Global Finals prelims is going to the Semi-Finals too.
Team HYDRA and PAiN ESPORTS with only 76 points and 74 points respectively, unfortunately, did not make it through. Even though HYDRA got an amazing total of 46 kill points, it just was not enough.
Now, as all the Reginal Group Stages have concluded, the PMCO Semi-Finals will start from October 1 to October 6. Only the 16 best teams will be able to make to the South Asia Region Finals. Stay tuned to see who will make it to the Regional Finals and eventually the Grand Finals.
