Pakistan’s premier PUBG Mobile squad, 4Thrives, has concluded their historic run at the PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC) 2026 Grand Finals. The team secured a solid 6th-place finish among the world’s elite squads. Consequently, they earned a massive $161,000 prize payout along with 150 Club Championship (CC) points.
Earlier in the tournament, 4Thrives dominated the Group Stage, dismantling the ‘Group of Death’ to book their direct spot in the finals. They brought that exact aggressive momentum onto the grandest stage in Paris.
The 4Thrives PMWC 2026 Grand Finals Run in Paris
The Grand Finals took place from August 14 to 16, 2026. The stage featured 16 world-class teams, including 10 rosters from the Group Stage and 6 qualifiers from the Survival Stage. The teams battled across 18 high-intensity matches.
However, the tournament faced immediate logistical disruptions on Day 1. Several players fell ill due to the catering provided by the organizers. Because of these health concerns, tournament officials postponed Matches 5 and 6 to Day 2. Despite these disruptions and challenging conditions, 4Thrives remained completely locked in on the competition.
Incredible Firepower Meets Unforgiving Circle Luck
Throughout all 18 matches, 4Thrives showcased unmatched gunpower and aggressive dueling skills. They continuously dismantled enemy squads in direct combat, racking up an impressive 88 Elimination Points.
Unfortunately, harsh circle shifts repeatedly worked against them during crucial endgame rotations. Unfavorable zone pulls stripped away valuable positioning, robbing the Pakistani squad of potential Winner Winner Chicken Dinners (WWCDs). Nevertheless, their relentless elimination hunt and consistency kept them high on the leaderboard, pushing their total tally to 112 points.
Meanwhile, Day 3 implemented the high-stakes “Smash Rule” format with a Match Point threshold set at 122 points. Thailand’s eArena became the first team to cross this threshold. Ultimately, Turkey’s S2G Esports clinched the championship with 154 total points. Nongshim RedForce followed in second place with 149 points.
