THE PHILIPPINES – Call of Duty: Mobile – Garena Masters X concluded on Sunday, March 15, with Elevate emerging victorious after a thrilling 4-2 Grand Finals win against Alula Club. The tournament’s Final Four also featured Team StarMagic and Elunari Esports, highlighting the depth of competitive CODM talent in the Philippines.
Representing Elevate were KenDy, Susanoo, Yop1, kLo, and Peejay, with Coach Mark “Olea” Olea guiding the squad. The seasoned team from the Philippines demonstrated exceptional coordination and composure throughout the tournament, culminating in a decisive Grand Finals performance to secure the championship title and $20,000 USD — half of the tournament’s prize pool.
The victory marks another milestone to Elevate’s dominant run in the regional scene. The team previously claimed Garena Masters Seasons 6, 7, and 8, and narrowly missed the title in Season 9 to Stalwart Esports. The rivalry between Elevate and Alula Club proved to be one of the defining storylines of Season 10 (Garena Masters X). Featuring core members of the former Stalwart Esports roster, Alula Club pushed Elevate to their limits throughout the Playoffs. Elevate secured a narrow 3-2 victory in the Upper Bracket Finals before Alula Club forced a Grand Finals reset. In the deciding series, Elevate ultimately prevailed 4-2 to claim the championship.
“This win reflects the strong mentality of our team,” said Elevate’s captain, Yop1. “Even in a long and difficult series, we stayed calm, trusted each other, and remained locked in from start to finish.”
The Most Valuable Player (MVP) award was presented to Peejay of Elevate, recognising his outstanding performance and impact throughout the tournament. The 21-year-old slayer adds another accolade to his growing resume, following previous MVP titles at the CODM World Championship 2025 – Garena Finals and Garena Masters Season 8.
