History

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

At first, the organization of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang team was founded as the team Resolution in 2017. [16] They initially competed Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Southeast Asia Cup (MSC) 2017. They also competed in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League Myanmar (MPL Myanmar) season 1 2018 and finished as 4th place. Then, they competed in MPL Myanmar season 2 2019 and won it. [17] They also competed in MSC 2019 together with Burmese Ghouls. [18] Then, they changed its name to "Yangon Galacticos" [19] in MPL Myanmar season 3 2019. They finished as 4th place in MPL Myanmar season 3 and 3rd places in MPL Myanmar season 4 and 5. [20] [21] They competed many tournaments, but due to COVID-19 and the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, MPL Myanmar didn't celebrate and YG's MLBB team was suspended. Later, YG's MLBB team was re-formed with new players in March 2025. On 14 March 2025, the Mobile Legends Super League season 1 was held in Myanmar by Moonton, they competed and finished in second place. [22] [23] [24]

PUBG Mobile

YG's PUBG Mobile team founded in 2019 [25] and first competed in PUBG Mobile Myanmar Championship 2019. They won the first prize in local and regional tournaments such as PUBG Mobile Myanmar Championship Fall 2022, PUBG Mobile National Championship Myanmar Fall 2024, PUBG Mobile Challenger's League – Southeast Asia Spring 2025, PUBG Mobile Regional Clash 2025 – Rodo Cup, PUBG Mobile Challenger's League – Southeast Asia Summer 2025. On July 25, 2025, they competed in the PMWC 2025 at EWC, [26] held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. They only finished 11th in the Group Stage, so they had to compete again in the Survival Stage, finishing 8th with one point and advancing to the Grand Final Stage. In the Grand Final Stage, they showed different skills from the previous stages, winning two Winner Winner Chicken Dinner (WWCD)s on Day 1 and two more WWCDs on Day 2, and finishing with the highest points. On the final day, Day 3, a new rule was introduced, the "Smash rule", which was that the team with the most points after Day 1 and Day 2 was added to 10 points to determine the match point. The team that reached the match point would be the champion if it achieved the WWCD in the next match. On Day 3, YG reached the match point first, then Alpha Gaming reached the match point again, and Weibo Gaming also reached the match point again, but until the final match, none of the teams that reached the match point could achieve the WWCD, so YG with the most points became the Champion and the first international title of the Myanmar Esports.
