Filipino squads Hyve International and Team Nemesis secured qualification to the PUBG Mobile Global Open (PMGO) 2026 Southeast Asia Finals after finishing inside the top three of the PUBG Mobile Challengers League – SEA 2026 Spring.
Both teams locked in their spots following consistent three-day performances, placing second and third, respectively, in the regional tournament.
Myanmar’s Yangon Galacticos claimed the championship after outlasting a 20-team field, finishing with 208 total points. Hyve International pushed for the title with 183 points but fell short after a mid-game wipe in the final round. Team Nemesis followed with 164 points, securing third place and completing the list of SEA Finals qualifiers from the event.
Both Filipino teams relied on strong late-stage performances and key WWCDs to separate themselves from the chasing pack.
Four Philippine teams finished inside the top half of the standings, reinforcing the region’s depth in PUBG Mobile competition. 214 Esports narrowly missed qualification in fourth place, while NotSoGoodGamez and Misfit International placed fifth and seventh, respectively.
Meanwhile, Skull Collector finished 15th with 67 points, and Athrafstos Esports failed to reach the 16-team Grand Finals.
Hyve and Nemesis now move on to the PUBG Mobile Global Open 2026 Season 1 – Southeast Asia Finals, set to begin on May 15. They will join 16 teams from across Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, competing for just five slots in the global stage.
Only the top five teams from SEA will advance to the PMGO Main Event in Jakarta scheduled for June.
