PMNC 2022 South Asia Wildcard Finals Day 1: Overall standings, highlights, and more

The Grand Finals of the PMNC 2022 South Asia Wildcard commenced on December 27, with NB Esports leading the overall standings after six matches. The underdog Mongolian team scored 97 points, after consistent outings on the opening day. They clinched two Chicken Dinners in the second and fourth matches, which helped them take a 35-point lead over the second-placed team. As a result of their aggressive gameplay, the team scored 40 kills, the highest number of kills so far.

SITM, who was the top squad in the Semifinals, made some good exploits and obtained 62 points despite not claiming a Chicken Dinner. The side had three podium finishes in the six matches they played. Their aggressive gameplay in the fourth match, where they gained 24 points, helped them secure the second place in the table. Their player, Roguei, clinched 12 eliminations.

SEAL Esports looked great today and earned 56 points with the help of 32 eliminations. The Mongolian squad has not had good performances in recent tournaments. They will definitely hope to grab a good place in the competition. In 2021, they lifted the trophy in the PMCO Spring Wildcard and have been looking for their second title ever since.
