4Thrives Finish Sixth at PUBG Mobile World Cup 2026
4Thrives Esports finished sixth at the PUBG Mobile World Cup 2026 Grand Finals, the best World Cup result a Pakistani PUBG Mobile team has produced on home soil in this era, even if it fell short of the podium the team believed they were capable of.
“Sixth in the world but far from where we believed we would finish,” the team wrote after the Grand Finals concluded. Not a celebration. Not quite a lament either. A team that knows the difference between a good result and the result they came for.
How the Grand Finals Ended
4Thrives closed the tournament in sixth place with 112 points, behind S2G Esports (154), NS RedForce (149), Aurora (146) and eArena (140) at the top of the table, and Tianba (125) just above them in fifth.
| Rank | Team | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | S2G Esports | 154 |
| 2nd | NS RedForce | 149 |
| 3rd | Aurora | 146 |
| 4th | eArena | 140 |
| 5th | Tianba | 125 |
| 6th | 4Thrives | 112 |
Four days earlier, 4Thrives sat fifth on 105 points with the tournament still open. They picked up 7 points across the remaining games, enough to stay in the fight but not enough to climb. Tianba passed them. The teams above stayed above.
What 4Thrives Said Afterward
The team’s statement after the Grand Finals read in full:
“This wasn’t the ending we expected, nor the result we fought for. Still, we leave the EWC 2026 Grand Finals with our heads held high and a fire stronger than before. To every fan who believed, cheered, and stood beside us through every battle, thank you. Your support carried us further than you’ll ever know. We’ll take the lessons. We’ll carry the hunger. And we’ll return stronger. This story is far from over.”
There is a difference between a team performing disappointment for its fans and a team that is genuinely recalibrating. The line about lessons and hunger, rather than excuses, points toward the second.
Who Are 4Thrives Esports
4Thrives are a Pakistani PUBG Mobile organisation founded in December 2024, built around a core roster that has stayed largely together across two different team names.
Active roster:
| Player | Real name |
|---|---|
| FALAK (Captain-level presence) | Falak Sher |
| IQ (Team Captain) | Shayan Asad |
| Nocki | Sameer Khan |
| T24 OP | Hasnain Rehman |
| HUZAIFA | Muhammad Huzaifa |
The core four, Falak, IQ, Nocki and T24 OP, played together at a different organisation before the group moved to 4Thrives in December 2025. Huzaifa joined a week later. Falak Sher owns the organisation and Usman Tariq, competing under the tag Shaheen, manages and analyses for the team.
A Team With Genuine Pedigree
This is not a new roster chasing its first result. 4Thrives, under this core group, have already:
- Finished 7th at the PUBG Mobile World Cup 2025, taking home $157,000
- Won the PUBG Mobile Global Open 2026 Season 1 outright, an S-Tier title worth $62,500
- Won the South Asia Finals of that same tournament, an A-Tier event worth $9,000
Career prize winnings across the roster sit above $259,000. Falak Sher has picked up MVP honours at four separate events across 2025 and 2026, and the Finals MVP award at the South Asia Finals in May.
This is, in South Asian PUBG Mobile terms, as credible a roster as Pakistan currently fields.
Why the World Cup Matters More Than Any Domestic Title
Everything else on this roster’s résumé, the national championships, the regional opens, exists inside South Asia. The PUBG Mobile World Cup is the one event where they are measured against the entire world.
A repeat of last year’s 7th-place finish would be a strong result. A finish inside the top three would be the best result a Pakistani PUBG Mobile team has produced on the sport’s biggest stage. Fifth place with the tournament still open leaves both outcomes possible.
