Teams to watch at the PMGC Survival Stage
There were a lot of standout and surprising performances in the Group Stage, especially in the PMGC Group of Death, Group Green. The green group still has some standout teams which are ones to look out for.
First up, Bacon Time and Vampire Esports. Thailand is one of the strongest regions in PUBG Mobile esports currently and these two teams are some of the favorites to win the entire PMGC. In fact, Vampire Esports won the last global tournament for PUBG Mobile, the PMWI in Saudi Arabia in August. Both teams expected to make it directly to the Grand Finals from their group but couldn’t get past South Asian champions GodLike Stalwart and defending two-time world champs Nova Esports. They placed fourth and fifth in Group Green.
Besides them, Bigetron RA are another team to watch out for. The Indo team hasn’t been able to perform really well in 2022 and barely made it to the PMGC. However, with power twins Zuxxy and Luxxy, paired with deep experience and a huge and loyal fanbase, the team is definitely hungry for reclaiming its lost glory.
Lastly, LGD Gaming from China are a team to look out for. Chinese teams have a history of dominating in international competitions and LGD Gaming will be looking to not end that streak. Coming in as China’s third seed, the team has impressed locally and will be looking to show other international teams what they are made out of. Especially, after a disappointing group stage where they placed fourth.
