Why K Gee, a team comprising some of the best athletes from the North American region, emerged as the champions of the PUBG Mobile Pro League (PMPL) NA Spring 2023. The squad secured 165 points in eighteen matches, including 32 headstart points that rolled over from their league stages. Although they did not secure any chicken dinner in the finals, the squad managed to claim a position among the top three teams from the first day.
The Panthers were initially declared the champions with a total of 170 points but were later penalized 17 points for violating the official rules and regulations. Two players in the squad were found to have turned off the GAC screen share despite warnings, which dropped them to fifth position in the overall standings with 153 points.
N Hyper (previously part of Nova Esports) was the top-performing team in the league stage and began the finals impressively, maintaining their lead for two days. However, a few poor games caused them to slip to second position in the overall rankings, with 161 points.
Despite facing some challenges, Dope Slayers remained consistent throughout the tournament and finished third with 158 points. The Chosen, who had a below-average performance in the league stage, were fourth with 157 points.
Although Mezexis Esports secured a podium finish in the league stage, they were unable to maintain the same level of performance in the finals and finished in eighth position. Execute, a popular team that performed well on the first day of the finals, slipped to seventh position in the overall rankings.
QZZ from N Hyper bagged the MVP award of the PMPL NA Spring for his 149 eliminations with more than 33k hp damage and 18 minutes of average survival time.
