Yangon Galacticos, the Burmese team that claimed a historic win at the PUBG Mobile World Cup (PMWC) 2025, has been honoured with land plots during a two-day celebration in Taunggyi Garden City.
The team earned Myanmar its first-ever international esports win, securing the title at PMWC during the Esports World Cup in Riyadh.
The team’s victory was celebrated at the Taunggyi Garden City courtesy of its sponsor, mobile wallet platform, KBZ Pay.
On the second day, U Aung Ko Win, Chairman of the KBZ Group, awarded nine plots of land, each measuring 40×60 feet, to the team and officials of the Myanmar Esports Federation. A Level Infinite spokesperson said that the plots were worth approximately valued at $25,000 (~£18,670).
“KBZPay will always support the dreams and passions of Myanmar youth and encourage them to realise esports as a professional career,” the company said in a Facebook post.
“Currently, we continue to enthusiastically support esports from the university level to the local University Esports League and National Esports Championship competitions, Southeast Asian SEA Games, and the world-class EWC competitions.”
Earlier, in an interview with Esports Insider, Yangon Galacticos’ IGL, Swan ‘Smile’ Wint Maung, said that the team’s victory was a big moment for the country. The player added that this would bring in more sponsor interest, get more organisations in the scene, and also inspire the next generation of players.
