The eight champions of the Weekly Finals are given the seed for LVUP SHOWDOWN: PUBG Grand Final.

If the winner of the previous week wins the Weekly Final again, the seed for the week is given to the runner-up.

 - ex: Week 4 Champion (Week 1 Champion) / Runner-up (Week 2 Champion) / 3^rd Place (Week 3 Champion) -> 4^th Place qualifies for the Grand Final

Also, six teams with highest total LVUP SHOWDOWN: PUBG Weekly Final points up until Week 8 are provided seeds to LVUP SHOWDOWN: PUBG Grand Final.

If there exists a Week Final champion in the top six teams, the seed will be provided to the next team on the total point rankings.

 - ex: Total score rankings – 1^st to 8^th Place (Week 1~8 Winners) -> 9^th ~ 14^th Place teams qualify for Grand Final

However, if amateur teams participating in PWS: EAST ASIA Pre-Season fail to qualify for PWS: EAST ASIA Phase 1 and participate in LVUP SHOWDOWN: PUBG Grand Final, these teams shall be guaranteed seeds, and thus the number of seeds provided based on total point ranking may be changed.
