Four Angry Men put up an exceptional showing at the event, winning the league state with 631 points. To secure the number one spot, they had to win over the reigning champions, Bigetron Red Aliens. Their victory saw them pocket $300,000 out of the $700,000 prize pool generated in the league stage.

The reason the win by the Chinese team is worthy to note is that they use Peacekeeper Elite in China, which is a toned-down version of the PUBG Mobile that was used for the league stage. The regulation law in China is what forced the Chinese team to use the toned-down version. There are a lot of similarities in the games, but the standout difference is the zone rotations. However, Four Angry Men were not deterred by this as they went ahead to get eight chicken inners and 298 point kills in 60 matches. That was the most by any team in the league stage.
