Team GodLike was the best team in the previous stage, showing great exploits throughout their 22 matches. They clinched four Chicken Dinners and scored 244 points at an average of around 11. Gods Reign was only two points behind them and put up a tough fight.

Nexgen and Big Brother have also had mesmerizing outings, managing their consistency till the end. Skylightz Gaming and Global Esports peaked at the right time and finished in fifth and seventh place respectively.

Two big names, Team XO and S8UL, did their job well and earned their spots easily in the PUBG New State Challenger Finale. Both powerhouses will target the title in the event. 7SEA, Team Tamilas, and WSF had a mediocre run in the previous edition, as they struggled in some games.

Team Xspark, Revenant, and Chemin were inconsistent but eventually qualified. These teams need to work on their strategies to bounce back in the Finale. Udog India, the top team in the PUBG New State Qualifier Finale stage, couldn't deliver the same performance and finished 24th in the table. The team will certainly hope to return to their natural form.
