A few days back, Galaxy Racer, a UAE-based organization, signed ex-Fnatic stars Owais and Maxkash. The former is one of the most successful PUBG Mobile players and has won three major trophies.

Galaxy Racer entered PUBG Mobile in mid-2020 by signing PMPL South Asia S1 champion Celtz. In September 2020, after the game was banned in India (due to security reasons), they merged their PUBG Mobile team with SynerGE. Indian fans would be stoked to see how Galaxy Racers perform in this tournament.

The Star Challenge is a top-tier PUBG Mobile tournament where the top teams from the region compete for the crown and vast prize money.

The 2020 edition was won by Moroccon team Gunz Esports. Rico Infinity secured second place while Frag Machines grabbed the third spot.

However, in the 2019 edition, the format was slightly different.

The top 16 teams from the MENA region battled against the top 16 teams from around the world. Team Unique from the CIS region was crowned as the champion that year.
