The participants will have to modify their gameplay to collect more points as the new scoring rules lower the placement points compared to the 15-point system.

The previous stage of the PUBG New State event ran across eight match days, with 32 teams fighting for 24 slots in this phase. Some well-known names like Enigma Gaming, TSM, and Marcos Gaming were among the bottom eight teams who failed to progress to the upcoming Finale.

Team ESN has acquired the roster of Bad Devils, who was in 12th place in the PUBG New State Mobile Challenger. Team XO and S8UL had good outings in the last phase and are considered top contenders in the tournament. Global Esports and Skylightz will also aim to maintain their momentum.

Team XSpark struggled in the previous phase as they secured only 139 points in 22 games and placed 20th in the overall rankings. Revenant, Chemin, and Hyderabad Hydras also had a difficult time and barely managed to get a spot in the PUBG New State Finale.
