The Ukrainian Esports Federation (UESF) has officially confirmed the roster of the national team that will represent the country at the 2026 Esports Nations Cup in the PUBG MOBILE discipline. Prior to this, the head coach of the team first announced the roster during a live broadcast, and the information was later posted on the federation’s official channels.
LEMON, TULIKA, SLONIK, and Lmntrixxxwill represent Ukraine on the international stage. DEFOLT and FLIP have been named to the reserve roster, while coach Bamb1ni will oversee the team’s training and performance.
The Ukrainian national team received an invitation to the main stage
Ukrainian esports players will not have to go through qualifying matches. Thanks to the results the country’s representatives have achieved at international tournaments recently, the national team has earned enough ranking points to secure a direct invite to the final stage of the 2026 Esports Nations Cup.
For Ukraine, this is already the fourth discipline in which the organizers have granted a spot without requiring participation in the qualifiers. Previously, similar invitations were extended to the national teams for Dota 2 and PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, as well as to Ukrainian grandmaster Oleksandr Bortnyk.
The PUBG MOBILE competition will bring together 32 national teams, comprising 128 professional players. The tournament will be held in Riyadh, and its prize pool will total 1.32 million U.S. dollars.
Along with Ukraine, Turkey, Mongolia, Brazil, Pakistan, Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, Nepal, South Africa, Madagascar, Argentina, China, South Korea, India, and Japan.
This invitation is yet another confirmation that the Ukrainian PUBG MOBILE scene remains competitive on a global level. Ahead, the national team will face off against the world’s strongest teams, where it will have the opportunity to prove its status directly on the server.
