Team Aryan’s journey at the PUBG Mobile World Cup 2025 came to an end before the grand finals, with Team AxTMG earning a respectable prize despite the tough competition.
The PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC) 2025 has been one of the most thrilling esports events of the year, featuring top teams from around the globe competing for a massive prize pool of $3 million.
India’s Team AxTMG, led by Aryan, made its debut on this grand stage after winning the BMPS 2025 earlier this month. Unfortunately, their journey ended before the PMWC 2025 Grand Finals, leaving fans both proud and disappointed.
What Happened to Team Aryan, aka AxTMG?
Team Aryan, representing Team AxTMG, fought hard in the Group Stage and Survival Stage of the PMWC 2025. The Group Stage, held from July 25 to 27, saw 24 teams battle for eight spots in the Grand Finals. Team AxTMG had a rocky start, placing 15th overall with 62 points, including one impressive 18-point Chicken Dinner in their last group match.
After missing the top eight in the Group Stage, Team AxTMG entered the Survival Stage along with 15 other teams. The Survival Stage, which took place on July 29 and 30, was the last chance for teams to qualify for the Grand Finals. Unfortunately, Team AxTMG ranked 14th in this stage with 37 points, which was not enough to make the cut for the final event.
Despite their elimination, Team AxTMG showed great skill and promise. Their performances included several high-scoring matches, and they managed to stand out in a fiercely competitive environment filled with world-class squads.
How Much Money Did Team AxTMG Win?
Even though Team AxTMG did not qualify for the Grand Finals, the team still walked away with a decent cash prize.
According to official reports, Team AxTMG earned a total of $38,500 (approximately ₹33,76,450). This prize reflects their efforts throughout the tournament, including their strong showing at the BMPS 2025 and their competitive spirit during the World Cup stages.
The prize money is a significant reward for a team playing their first international event and competing against some of the best PUBG Mobile teams globally. It also lays a foundation for Team AxTMG to build on for future competitions.
Other Notable Performances
Team AxTMG was not alone in missing the Grand Finals despite strong performances. Other well-known teams like Alpha7 Esports (the 2024 PMWC champions), Influence Rage, and R8 Esports also failed to advance past the Survival Stage.
As the tournament moves forward, 16 teams remain in the Grand Finals from August 1 to 3, 2025, battling for the coveted PMWC trophy and the $500,000 top prize.
