The top five sides from the PMPL Season 2 LATAM Finals also qualified for the upcoming PMPL Americas Championship Season 2. The competition will feature 16 teams, and along with teams from the LATAM region, other participants will include sides from North America and Brazil.

Buluc Chabtan and Team Queso also played quite well to secure the 4th and the 5th spots. The former had earlier won the League Stage of the event but fell short in the finals, failing to qualify for the PMGC.

On the other hand, Team Queso had a horrendous run in the League Stage, finishing 12th. However, come the finals, the team held its nerve and, as a result of previous experience of competing under pressure, qualified for the Americas Championship with a decent finish.

Royals of War and Estorm Gaming, two sides who had done quite well in the League Stage, failed to emulate the same success in the finals. In fact, the latter was unable to gain any momentum and finished at the last place in the finals with just 88 points.
