Group Red sees South Korea’s Nongshim RedForce come out on top

Nongshim Red Force was the team that made headlines in Group Red. They started off their path in the PMGC 2023 with a chicken dinner in the first match itself. From here, they carried on their momentum to lead all through the four days and achieve first place in the group.

What makes their victory even more impressive is that they finished above China’s Six Two Eight, which came in second place at the PMWI earlier this year. China is known for its absolute dominance in the PUBG Mobile esports scene. Additionally, the region is the best performing one in the history of the PMGC.
