The PMWC 2025 Survival Stage has finally concluded its 12-match series, with Nepal’s HORAA Esports topping the leaderboard. I feel really bad for the team that missed qualification by just 1 point — a truly heartbreaking moment for them. In the Survival Stage, the cutoff was set at 70 points, and unfortunately, one team managed to collect only 69, leading to their elimination from the tournament.
