Team Pride Clinches PMNC Nigeria Title, Earns Spot in PMGO Africa
Team Pride secured the 2026 PUBG Mobile National Championship (PMNC) title in Nigeria on September 13, claiming the top prize of $3,000 and a coveted spot to represent the country at the PUBG Mobile Global Open (PMGO) Africa stage. The four‑player roster—Oluwadamilola “Begho” Oladele, Kwila Obadiah, Maude “Chico” Usman, and Farid “Finish” Mahri—outplayed runner‑up Neon Outlaws and third‑place Tribe Warriors in a high‑stakes final that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Begho earned the tournament’s Most Valuable Player award for his clutch plays and strategic leadership. The championship was backed by major sponsors, including Infinix, which supplied the GT 50 Pro as the official tournament device, and Oraimo and itel, which provided gaming accessories and even home air conditioners to the winning squad.
In a surprise twist, PUBG Mobile rolled out Version 4.6 during the finals, featuring the new Vampire Hunters theme and an Afro‑pop collaboration with Nigerian artist Magixx under the “Be the One” campaign. Players can now unlock exclusive Magixx‑styled rewards by participating in the in‑game event from September 24 to October 23.
For the Nigerian gaming community, Team Pride’s triumph is a source of national pride and a reminder that local talent can shine on the global stage.
