Call of Duty®: Mobile (CODM) – Garena Masters X concluded last March 15, 2026 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. The seasoned team from the Philippines comprising of KenDy, Susanoo, Yop1, kLo, and Peejay, with Coach Mark “Olea” Olea guiding the squad, demonstrated exceptional coordination and composure throughout the tournament, culminating in a decisive Grand Finals performance to secure the championship title and US$20,000 — 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. Even in a long and difficult series, we stayed calm, trusted each other, and remained locked in from start to finish,” said Elevate's team captain Yop1. The Most Valuable Player (MVP) award was presented to Peejay of Elevate, recognizing 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.
With the conclusion of Garena Masters X, the top six teams have secured their places in the Garena Summer Invitational (GSI) 2026 commencing on April 10, 2026.
