This will be the first time since the PUBG Mobile World League (PMWL: 2020) that an Indian team will compete globally. In the PMWL: East 2020, the Indian squad of OREsports secured the 2nd spot among top teams from the East region. Indian teams were not Invited to the PMGC: 2020 due to the ban of PUBG Mobile in India during that period.

Some speculations that the slot will go to the winner are there in the market, although no official announcement regarding this has been made yet.
The performance of the Invited Indian team will also be a point of interest. With the special invite given to the Indian region, all eyes will be on the team throughout the finals.
