The teams from the fourth to 11th places have qualified for the Survival Stage of the PMGC League competition, where they will be joined by 16 other squads from the other two groups: Green and Yellow.

South Asian squads Agonxi8 Esports and DRS Gaming showed their mettle and finished in the 5th and 6th spots to give themselves a fighting chance in the Survival Stage.

Veteran Indonesian squad Bigetron RA, too, displayed glimpses of their old form and qualified for the Survival Stage. They are in the seventh spot after Day 4. Liquid from Bigetron came in clutch for the team on multiple occasions and was able to rescue the squad from quite a few unfavorable situations.

Unfortunately, the 12th to 16th-ranked teams from the Group Red standings have been knocked out of the PMGC competition. Among the top contenders, the elimination of The Infinity came as a shock to many. The squad was in fantastic form before the start of the competition and was among the favorites in the Global Championship.

However, they faltered and folded in extremely poor fashion, ending up in the 12th spot with just 146 points. Apart from The Infinity, the elimination of MadBulls and Team Queso also came as a surprise to the community.
