The South Asia finals, which took place from April 15 to 18, went down to the last match to decide the champions.

DRS put up a consistent performance across the 24 matches in the finals. They got four chicken dinners, the most by any team in the event, 158 placement points, and 115 kills. Second-placed Z3US, on the other hand, played more aggressively. They got 129 placement points but accumulated a staggering 142 kills. In the end, it was just a two-point differential that decided the champions. 

The top nine teams have now made it to the PMPL South Asia Championship Finals, which will happen from May 14 to 16.

It has a prize pool of three million Chinese Yuan (about $460,000) and will happen later this month. Sixteen teams from across Asia will battle in the invitational. It will be played on Peacekeeper Elite (also known as Game for Peace), which is the Chinese version of PUBG Mobile.
