As we mentioned earlier, 18 teams will be participating in the All-Stars Stage. Fourteen of these squads will be determined through community voting, taking place between May 26 and 30. Fans from around the world can vote in-game for the teams to represent their region.

The other four teams will be invited from South Korea, Japan, and Saudi Arabia, along with one undisclosed “special invite.”

For the Main Tournament Stage, only 16 teams will be participating. Five teams qualified from the All-Stars Stage. The other eleven will be determined through the 2023 PMPL Spring Championship, 2023 PMSL Spring tournament, and invites.

It’s possible that the special invite could be reserved for India as it's the only major region not included in the slot distribution.
