The PUBG Mobile SEA Tournament 2025 brought together the best teams from across Southeast Asia, and Malaysia entered the competition with six representatives — four partner teams and two PMNC qualifiers. With a mix of seasoned organizations and fresh challengers, Malaysia carried strong expectations but faced a tough road against dominant squads from Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Malaysian Teams at SEA 2025-PUBG Mobile SEA Tournament 2025
- CelcomDigi Alliance (Top 8 Finish)
Malaysia’s most consistent performer, CelcomDigi Alliance regularly advanced into Super Weekends and secured a Top 8 finish. Their disciplined rotations and clutch late-game survivals marked them as Malaysia’s best hope for PMWC, though it wasn’t quite enough. - SEM9
A veteran name in Malaysia’s PUBG Mobile esports, SEM9 showed flashes of brilliance but battled inconsistency throughout the league. Despite star players like uHigh, the team ended up in the lower half of the standings. - Todak
Known for their fast-paced, aggressive style, Todak were entertaining to watch but couldn’t find the stability to translate early leads into podium finishes. - HomeBois
Backed by passionate supporters, HomeBois had momentum but were eliminated early, struggling to adapt to the tournament’s shifting meta. - New Era (PMNC Qualifier)
Representing Malaysia’s rising talent, New Era gained invaluable international experience, though they couldn’t progress beyond the group stage. - Maqna Esports (PMNC Qualifier)
Another promising challenger, Maqna Esports fought hard but ultimately fell short of finals qualification. Their debut still hinted at potential for future seasons.

- Oliyo (CelcomDigi Alliance)
A consistent fragger and reliable presence in gunfights, Oliyo anchored CDA’s Top 8 run with steady eliminations across Super Weekends. - uHigh (SEM9)
One of Malaysia’s most recognizable PUBG Mobile talents, uHigh reminded fans why he’s regarded as a star with clutch performances, even as SEM9 struggled overall. - Trexy (SEM9)
A stabilizing force for SEM9, Trexy’s composed support role kept the team competitive in tense late-game circles.
Why Malaysia Missed PMWC Qualification
Despite sending six teams, Malaysia did not secure a PMWC 2025 slot. Stronger depth from Thailand and Indonesia, coupled with Vietnam’s consistency, meant Malaysia’s best efforts fell just short. The Top 8 placement from CelcomDigi Alliance was a bright spot, but not enough to crack the qualification threshold.
Still, Malaysia’s participation proved the depth of its talent pool, and with players like Oliyo, uHigh, and Trexy continuing to shine, the future of Malaysian PUBG Mobile remains promising.
Malaysia’s run in the PUBG Mobile SEA Tournament 2025 was a story of hope, experience, and lessons learned. While the nation missed out on PMWC qualification this year, the performances of CelcomDigi Alliance and standout players kept the Malaysian flag flying high. With continued development and tournament exposure, Malaysia could well return stronger in upcoming international stages.
