Malaysia’s esports scene has achieved another significant milestone as Team Vertice emerged victorious at the Samsung #PlayGalaxy Cup Southeast Asia Regional Qualifiers on 13 June 2026. The Malaysian team of four were crowned regional champions and are slated to compete at the #PlayGalaxy Cup World Finals to be held during Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, Germany.
The #PlayGalaxy Cup is a global tournament league highlighting the gaming performance of Galaxy devices. In 2026, the tournament expands into a yearlong global esports league in collaboration with PUBG Mobile — shifting from standalone events to a full-season format.
Team Vertice showcased exceptional skill, teamwork and consistency throughout the competition, overcoming some of Southeast Asia's strongest PUBG Mobile teams from Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines.
Teams were equipped with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is built to deliver 39% more powerful neural processing unit (NPU) and a 19% faster central processing unit (CPU), to keep up with high-action gaming performance.
With their championship victory, Team Vertice will represent Southeast Asia on the global stage at the #PlayGalaxy Cup World Finals. They will also be joined by Team Vonzy from Indonesia, who came in second at the regional qualifiers. Both teams will compete against #PlayGalaxy Cup champions from other regions at Gamescom 2026, one of the largest gaming and interactive entertainment events in the world.
