There, the Chinese club made it to Group A, in which they managed to finish in second place with a 1-6-0 result. The second group stage was even easier for PSG.LGD. Six wins and the only defeat by BetBoom Team guaranteed them first place and a passage to the final of the top flight play-offs. Unfortunately, the Chinese top club first lost to the aforementioned BetBoom Team, before losing 1-2 to the defending champions Gaimin Gladiators in a lively bo3 series. Bronze at DreamLeague Season 20 earned the Chinese $120,000.

Victory in the Chinese first division ensured PSG.LGD a place in the Bali Major 2023. The squad was placed in Group B. The Chinese electronic club finished 1-2-1. The only positive result for PSG.LGD was a victory over Bleed Esports. The team's players drew with nouns and Evil Geniuses.
