Brazil's Alpha7 Esports maintained their sublime status by lifting the PMPL Americas Championship 2023 Spring title. The powerhouse club gradually accelerated their progress in the competition and dominated on Day 3. At the end of 24 high-octane matches, the side collected 223 points, including 139 frags. Alpha7 also sealed their spot in the highly anticipated World Invitational (PMWI).

The roster was also the second-best performer in their regional PMPL Spring this year. Intense Game, a Brazilian team that topped the table after Day 3, fell to third place with 198 points after disappointing in their last six matches.
