Hora Esports secured its place among the top teams after finishing fourth in Group B at the conclusion of the group-stage matches on Sunday.

The Nepali team finished the group stage with 98 total points, including one Chicken Dinner, and earned a $57,500 prize for its performance.

Across the competition, Hora Esports recorded:

The consistent performance was enough to secure one of the direct qualification spots for the Grand Finals.

Hora Esports Among Group B Finalists

Vitality dominated Group B, finishing at the top of the standings with 148 points.

Alongside Vitality and Hora Esports, IDA, S2G and GodLike also secured direct qualification for the Grand Finals from Group B.

The results demonstrate the competitiveness of the tournament, with several internationally recognised PUBG Mobile teams fighting for limited places in the final stage.

Four Thrivers and Other Teams Qualify From Group A

The teams competing in Group A completed their qualification earlier.

Four Thrivers, Orangutan, Aurora, Team Flash and Nigma Galaxy secured direct qualification for the Grand Finals after finishing among the leading teams in their group.

With five teams qualifying from each group, 10 teams have now secured their places directly in the 16-team Grand Finals.

Survival Stage to Decide the Remaining Finalists

Not every team has been eliminated after the group stage.

Teams finishing between sixth and 13th place in Groups A and B will compete in the Survival Stage.

The Survival Stage is scheduled for August 11 and 12.

A total of 16 teams will participate in this stage, with the top six teams earning the remaining places in the Grand Finals.

The teams finishing at the bottom of the Survival Stage will be eliminated from the competition.

This gives several teams another opportunity to fight their way into the biggest stage of the tournament.

Grand Finals Set for August 14–16

The PUBG Mobile World Championship Grand Finals will feature 16 teams.

The final stage is scheduled to take place from August 14 to August 16.

With Hora Esports already securing its place, Nepal will have a representative competing directly against some of the world's strongest PUBG Mobile teams.

The Grand Finals will also feature a massive financial incentive, with the tournament champion set to receive $500,000 in prize money.

A Major Achievement for Nepali Esports

Hora Esports' qualification is an important achievement for Nepal's growing esports industry.

PUBG Mobile has become one of the country's most popular competitive gaming titles, with Nepali players and teams increasingly appearing in international tournaments.

Hora's direct qualification means the team does not have to go through the Survival Stage and can instead focus on preparing for the Grand Finals.

The fourth-place finish in Group B also provides the team with valuable momentum heading into the final stage.

What Comes Next for Hora Esports?

Hora Esports will now prepare for the Grand Finals, where 16 teams will compete for the PUBG Mobile World Championship title.

The Nepali team will need to maintain its consistency while competing against teams that have also demonstrated strong performances throughout the tournament.

With $500,000 awaiting the champion, the Grand Finals are expected to be highly competitive.

For Nepal, Hora Esports' qualification represents another significant moment for the country's esports scene and gives Nepali fans an opportunity to support their team on one of the biggest international PUBG Mobile stages.
