The Baggies drew 1-1 with Leicester in Hong Kong, but lost the semi-final on penalties and now play Crystal Palace on Saturday in a third-placed play-off.
Pulis, though, was pleased with how his players coped with the humid conditions after a gruelling training schedule.
“We overload our players enormously in the first two weeks,” he said. “The lads have done a morning, an afternoon, and an evening session.
“We do two weeks of overloading and then we cut back and get a lot of short sharp stuff in.
“The first two weeks are important, so you get the strength into their legs so they don’t pick up muscular injuries.
“We played in very difficult conditions with the humidity and we got all the players through, so we’re pleased.”
The Baggies boss only had three senior outfield players on his bench, including Nacer Chadli, who refused to go to Austria.
Pulis is keen to sign 'three or four' more players before the transfer window shuts, but admitted that the squad was not going to swell much beyond that.
“They [Leicester] are bringing on multi-million pound players," said Pulis. "We’re bringing on young kids. But that’s West Brom.
“We’re hoping to get three or four more added to the squad, they’re going to be three or four players we hope that are better than what we’ve got so we improve it.
“But we won’t and we can’t get an enormous squad of players.”
