Perera and Sons in partnership with Gamer.LK launched the second edition of its Esports
championships, the PUBG Mobile P&S Series and the P&S Free Fire Contenders. With a prize
pool of Rs. 200,000, the tournament brought together over 500 teams for competing in the
event.
Sri Lanka’s top 16 PUBG Mobile teams made their way to the Grand Finals of the PUBG Mobile
P&S Series where they challenged each other in a six map encounter. “Opex Lanka” emerged
victorious with a 35-point lead over “Maximum Esports Hitxerbiv” which came in second place.
Team “Wolfgang Esports Bullet Track” finished in third place. Team Opex Lanka was
represented by Opx Legend, LND Dila, OPX Tauter, OPX Jay and RN PODDS SIR.
The P&S Free Fire Contenders saw the top 12 Free Fire teams in the country make it to the
Grand Finals across six maps in a battle to the finish. “Alpha Esports HOB” were crowned the
Champions with a 43-point lead over “Maximum Esports Brotherhood”. “Team Noob Alliance
NEGU SL” was placed third at the event. Alpha Esports HOB were represented by Sachintha
“HB Kalu 98” Kalana, Ishara “HB 9inch” Chandunu, Oshada “HB OSAA” Adithya, Hirusha “HB
NICKY” De Silva and Dulana “XPOLA” Nuwanjith.
Both championships were officially endorsed by the Sri Lanka Esports Association and the
results contributed to the national player rankings. These rankings not only earn fame locally but
also open up opportunities to be enlisted for national Esports team roster consideration.
Both tournaments were well received by the community, generating a massive social reach of
over 1.5 million as fans and Esports enthusiasts rallied behind their favourite teams cheering
them on to victory.
