Aslaa Esports did not perform well in the same Invitational tournament, as they came 18th in the Semifinals and didn't qualify for the next stage. UDOG India was eliminated in the League Stage after a disappointing performance. Bad Evils also had a poor outing as the squad finished 16th in the Grand Finals of the event.

Reckoning Esports, a well-known Indian organization, began competing in PUBG New State esports in November. This will be a great opportunity for the team to showcase their skills and emerge as one of the top squads in the scene.

ESL has also disclosed a list of invited teams that will directly participate in the Mobile Challenger phase that is set to take place on January 5. The next round will showcase some great battles between the invited and qualified teams.
