Apart from the aforementioned names, the top five squads from the Playoffs Round 1 have already reserved their Grand Finals seats. Team Pai had an amazing run in that phase and came first in it.

Defending champions Wolves (SMG) delivered an underwhelming performance in the Playoffs and fell short of securing a spot in the PEL Finals. Their form has been disappointing since the 2022 PMGC Finals. Show Time and J Team also had a below-par outing this season. The same applies to JDE and TEC, who obtained the 14th and 15th places in Round 2.

For all PUBG Mobile fans, the four-day PEL Grand Finals will be a contest that can't be missed. Given the Chinese teams' disappointing results in the previous PMGC, Nova Esports, 4AM, and LGD will be eager to boost their confidence by achieving a respectable position for that tournament.
