ThunderTalk Gaming won PEL Spring 2025 ahead of Tianba

ThunderTalk Gaming won PEL Spring 2025 in Jinan, closing a season that ran from 20 February to 18 May 2025 across Chengdu and Jinan. Twenty three teams entered the Chinese league, and the ¥16,600,000 prize pool was shared across the full season rather than the finals alone. Tianba finished second, with Regans Gaming third, KuaiShou Gaming fourth and LGD Gaming fifth after a tie on 123 finals points between the three teams placed third to fifth. The finals table on this page carries the full 18 match standings, including headstart points carried into the finals.

A pre-season stage from 20 to 23 February opened the season, where breakout matches and finals set the week one finals field. Regular season play ran from 27 February to 27 April in Chengdu, at the Quantum Media VSPO E-sports Center, with breakout matches on day one and weekly finals across the next three days. Weekly finals points accumulated into the overall regular season standings, sending the top seven teams straight to the finals and the bottom sixteen into the playoffs. Playoffs ran from 1 to 4 May, with nine teams advancing to join the seven regular season qualifiers in the sixteen team finals.

Prize money on this page is shown as season totals, so a lower placed team can show more prize money than a team placed above it. ThunderTalk Gaming collected ¥4,550,000 across the season, ahead of Tianba on ¥2,030,000, while LGD Gaming in fifth collected ¥1,660,000, more than third placed Regans Gaming on ¥1,040,000. The ¥900,000 gap between the published pool and the placement rows is covered by season awards: finals most valuable player Xing of ThunderTalk Gaming earned ¥500,000, regular season most valuable player Xing earned ¥200,000, best rookie Aching of Four Angry Men earned ¥100,000, and most improved player of LGD Gaming earned ¥100,000.

Finals ran from 16 to 18 May at the Jinan Sunac International Sports Center, with eighteen maps split six per day in Sanhok, Erangel and Miramar order. ThunderTalk Gaming closed the finals on 196 points, seventy ahead of Tianba on 126, with three chicken dinners across the eighteen maps. The season also carried a qualification slot: the team placed first after five weeks of regular season play earned a place at the PUBG Mobile Global Open 2025, a slot that went to the five week leader rather than the season champion.
