GodLike Esports and Team XO will also be the squads to look out for, given their experience and recent runs in multiple events. Although the teams finished seventh and ninth in the Challenger Finale, their previous experience on the big stage cannot be ignored.

Wanted Gaming and Big Brother Esports (who secured second and third spots, respectively) will also be aiming for podium finishes in the Grand Finale. Both teams will be capitalizing on the momentum they have gained, heading into the Grand Finale with a powerful drive to succeed.

Among the other squads, Team NextGen will be the dark horses going into the PUBG New State Grand Finale. Although they came 11th in the Challenger Finale, their recent performance has been commendable, which has led to the roster being acquired by OR Esports. The PUBG team will be looking to strike back in the final leg of the tournament. Team XSpark, who barely qualified after securing the 15th spot, will be hoping to improve their performance going forward.
