The competitive Call of Duty: Mobile esports scene reached another thrilling milestone as the Garena Masters X concluded on March 15, 2026. After weeks of intense battles, it was Elevate who emerged victorious, defeating Alula Club in a dramatic Grand Finals showdown.
With a final score of 4-2, Elevate secured not only the championship title but also a prize of $20,000 USD, half of the tournament’s total prize pool of $40,000.
A Grand Finals to Remember
The Grand Finals between Elevate and Alula Club delivered exactly what fans expected — high-level gameplay, intense momentum swings, and a fierce rivalry that defined the tournament.
Representing Elevate were KenDy, Susanoo, Yop1, kLo, and Peejay, under the guidance of coach Mark “Olea” Olea. The team showcased exceptional coordination, discipline, and composure throughout the series.
Their clash against Alula Club was far from straightforward. Prior to the Grand Finals, Elevate had already faced their rivals in the Upper Bracket Finals, where they narrowly secured a 3-2 victory. However, Alula Club refused to back down, battling through the lower bracket to force a Grand Finals reset.
In the final series, Elevate proved why they remain one of the most dominant teams in the region, ultimately closing out the match 4-2 to claim the title.
Elevate’s Continued Dominance
This victory adds another chapter to Elevate’s already impressive legacy in the CODM esports scene. The team has consistently performed at the highest level, previously winning Garena Masters Seasons 6, 7, and 8, and finishing as runners-up in Season 9.
Their triumph at Garena Masters X reinforces their reputation as one of the strongest teams in Southeast Asia, particularly within the Philippines’ highly competitive CODM ecosystem.
Team captain Yop1 highlighted the squad’s mental strength as a key factor behind their success.
“This win reflects the strong mentality of our team. Even in a long and difficult series, we stayed calm, trusted each other, and remained locked in from start to finish.”
Peejay Earns MVP Honors
A standout performer throughout the tournament was Peejay, who was awarded the Most Valuable Player (MVP) title.
At just 21 years old, Peejay continues to build an impressive résumé, having previously secured MVP titles at the CODM World Championship 2025 – Garena Finals and Garena Masters Season 8.
Known for his aggressive playstyle and sharp mechanical skills, Peejay played a crucial role in Elevate’s championship run, delivering consistent performances when it mattered most.
Top 6 Teams Advance to GSI 2026
With the conclusion of Garena Masters X, the focus now shifts to the international stage — the Garena Summer Invitational 2026 (GSI 2026), set to begin on April 10.
The tournament will feature a $60,000 USD prize pool and bring together top teams from across the region, including Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao.
