At World Cup Asia in Langkawi on 11 November 2012, Infernal defeated STK 4–2 in the Division 1 final. Team manager Wasitpon Tanrungsri also confirmed the team's overall PALS championship.[2]

Infernal finished third in Division 1 at 2013 PALS Thailand. Its PBLeagues history additionally records third place at the 2013 PALS Malaysian Open and tenth at World Cup Asia that year.[3][5]
