In a significant milestone for Pakistan’s growing esports scene, 4thrives Esports, a PUBG Mobile team from the country, has officially qualified for the Grand Finals of the PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC) 2025. The event is being held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of the Esports World Cup — the largest international gathering of competitive gamers this year.
This remarkable achievement places 4thrives Esports among the top 16 teams in the world, competing for the world championship title and a multi-million dollar prize pool.
Climbing the Ranks: From Survival to Grand Finals
The road to the Grand Finals was anything but easy. 4thrives Esports had to fight their way through the Survival Stage, where only the top-performing teams earned the right to progress. Out of several contenders, just eight teams advanced from the Survival Stage, joining another eight who qualified directly through the Group Stage.
The team displayed impressive coordination, firepower, and strategic gameplay throughout the qualifiers. Their consistent performance under pressure won the admiration of fans and analysts alike, showcasing that Pakistan has what it takes to compete at the highest level of mobile esports.
Team Roster: Rising Stars of Pakistani Esports
What makes this achievement even more impressive is the young age and fresh talent of the players. The 4thrives Esports squad features a roster of five skilled individuals, many of whom are barely out of their teens:
- Shayan “IQ” Asad (21) – Team Leader and IGL, known for his calm composure and clutch plays.
- Falak “FALAK” Sher (18) – The youngest in the team, a fierce entry fragger with a sharp eye.
- Sameer “Nocki” Khan (19) – Versatile support player, often leading rotations and healing strategies.
- Hasnain “T24OP” Rehman (19) – The team’s scout and map-reader, known for quick decisions.
- Niash “CAIRO” Hassan (22) – Experienced anchor player, holds positions and finishes rounds.
Their teamwork, discipline, and communication have played a crucial role in taking them this far in the competition.
