The artists were also seen playing show matches with super supporters of the MENA region on Nov 14 to lift the spirit of the tournament.
“It brings me great joy to have come on board such a huge tournament that encompasses two big regions in the world of competitive PUBG Mobile. It would be fun to get back with Rap Demon with another sick track to support the region. We’re on the grind for our showmatch as well, we’re eyeing victory and pride for South Asia on all fronts.”, said Toshi, DJ/Producer.
“South Asia is full of talented gamers and it’ll be great to sing for them on an international platform. The teams in the region are quite aggressive and stand a good chance to win the title," said Rap Demon.

Deadeyes: One of the fan favourites and runner-up of PMPL SA Season 4, the team gathered a good lead in the league stages.
