Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been a strict rule of 28 days of quarantine for every global team attending the PEC 2020 tournament. Fourteen days of quarantine on arrival at Shangai and 14 days of quarantine after the teams go back to their respective countries.

The competition in the tournament is expected to be fierce as it has always been when it comes to Chinese tournaments. The four Chinese teams have been a constant favorite of the tournament. However, the invited teams won’t let them win that easily and will put up an intense fight in PEC 2020.

4AM (4 Angry Men) and ELG (Elite Esports) are in a strong form as they have recently emerged as winners and runner ups in the Peacekeeper Elite League (PEL) S3, respectively. However, Nova XQF, the winners of the first season's tournament, have been struggling in the recent tournaments. But, one can count on them as they are known to put on great shows when the pressure is at its peak. It would be interesting to see who will come out as the winner in the power-packed PEC 2020 tournament.
