The esports organization Virtus.pro, in partnership with the Esports World Cup 2025, has made a groundbreaking move by hosting the very first PUBG Mobile match played in the skies on paragliders. This extraordinary event was inspired by the desire to take gaming challenges to new heights—quite literally! The match featured talented players from various teams, creating a vibrant atmosphere of competition and excitement. Among the standout competitors were Alexander “MILKYWAY” Trishin representing Virtus.pro and Muhammadali “EZ4BADBOY” Botyrov from ARCRED.
Both athletes took to the skies, soaring hundreds of meters above the ground in the breathtaking Charvak mountains, located just outside of Tashkent. The stunning landscape provided a dramatic backdrop as they engaged in a thrilling aerial showdown. This unique match not only showcased their gaming skills but also highlighted the adventurous spirit of esports, proving that the boundaries of gaming can indeed extend beyond traditional settings. With the wind in their faces and adrenaline pumping, these esports warriors redefined what it means to compete in the digital age.
How Virtus.pro Rewrote PUBG Mobile History While Paragliding
Preparations for the flight were carried out with pinpoint precision: seat belts were checked, communications were tested, every detail was verified down to the millimeter. But nature decided to make its own adjustments – a sudden powerful wind blew up and ruined the crew’s plans. The pilots, concerned about safety, made a tough but correct decision – to cancel the takeoff, leaving everyone in anxious anticipation mode. The minutes dragged on like an eternity, while the team hoped for better weather.
Meanwhile, the e-sportsmen, as if having felt the taste of adrenaline, plunged headlong into the TDM (Team Deathmatch) format in PUBG MOBILE. A tense duel unfolded on the screens of smartphones connected to compact routers hidden in the pilots’ backpacks: two teams fought to the death for every point. Each click on the screen was like a shot in a real battle – precise, verified, decisive.
The wind was getting more and more aggressive, forcing the paragliders to swing in a chaotic rhythm. Some players felt a slight nausea mixed with irritation from the growing ping — 120+ ms turned every shot into a test of reaction and patience. But MILKYWAY and EZ4BADBOY were glued to the match: their fingers never left the screens, their eyes were burning with excitement. They played as if it were the final of a world tournament — neither lags nor weather cataclysms could knock them out of their rhythm. The last bullet was like the last chance, and it was used masterfully. Victory? For them, it was not just a goal, but a mandatory result.
The flight lasted for over 15 minutes, allowing an exhilarating view of the groundbreaking collaboration between Virtus.pro and EWC as they make history together. You can witness this remarkable event right here.
- In this thrilling matchup, EZ4BADBOY emerged victorious with a score of 20:16. However, the game had to be paused due to two significant reasons:
- EZ4BADBOY began to feel unwell, experiencing dizziness, which necessitated his descent to safety.
Additionally, strong winds suddenly picked up in the area where the challenge was taking place, creating a hazardous situation for the players involved.
Despite these unforeseen challenges, this event marked a historic milestone, as it was the first time such a challenge had ever been executed. No one had attempted anything like this before, making it a record-setting moment in competitive gaming history. The significance of this event cannot be overstated, as it showcases the innovative spirit and determination of all participants.
“If it weren’t for the ping, I’d happily play like this every day without a second thought. It feels pretty chill, honestly—not scary at all. The free-fall effect only lasted about a second, and after that, everything returned to normal.” — Alexander “MILKYWAY” Trishin
