Regional quotas: PMSL/PMCL

In 2025, the regional competitions PMSL (PUBG Mobile Super League) and PMCL (PUBG Mobile Challenger League) will play an important role. The best teams with the most points in the season (Spring/Fall) and overall rankings will win tickets to the PMGC. Key details:

• South Korea: 1 slot
• Japan: 1 slot
• Special Invite: 2 slots (the organizers will determine who will receive these invitations)
• PEL (Peace Elite League): 3 slots

All of these teams will start their journey from the group stage, where they will compete with the winners of the PMSL/PMCL for the right to advance to the playoffs.

Finals and a slot for the host country

The final part of the PMGC 2025 in Thailand provides for 1 slot for the host country, which guarantees the local team participation in the decisive matches. Therefore, the strongest representatives of the regions and invited teams will meet in the finals to determine the main champion of the year. The prize pool and playoff format will be revealed closer to the start of the tournament.
