Running from November 7 to 8, seven Philippine squads go head-to-head against three regional contenders for a slice of the $40,000 USD prize pool.

Announced in the Philippines on November 4, 2026, Manila is gearing up to host a major regional esports showdown. The offline Grand Finals of the Call of Duty®: Mobile – Garena Battle Royale Cup (COD:M GBRC) 2026 will take place from November 7 to 8 at the Activity Centre in Ayala Malls Manila Bay. Seven Philippine squads will face off against contenders from Indonesia, Thailand, and Taiwan as they battle for the inaugural crown and the biggest share of the $40,000 USD prize pool.

Building on May’s Garena Elite Philippines 2026 Battle Royale Championship, COD:M GBRC 2026 elevates the competition from a domestic tournament to a full regional stage. The two-day Grand Finals will span up to 12 maps and introduce the new EndGame Protocol format. Following six maps on Day 1, the Championship threshold will be established at 10 points higher than the Day 1 leader’s total. On Day 2, any squad that crosses that point threshold unlocks Championship eligibility, with the first eligible team to secure a map victory immediately claiming the trophy and concluding the tournament.

Beyond the main stage, attendees can watch the action live, explore community booths, participate in fan activities, and score merchandise giveaways. Additionally, November 8 will feature a 32-player KOL mini-tournament bringing together 12 creators from Indonesia, Thailand, and Taiwan alongside prominent Philippine personalities including Myrtle Sarrosa, Sharlene San Pedro, and Izzy Canillo.

Meet the Grand Finalists

Leading the Philippine contingent is POISON IVY GIZY, which dominated both the Group Stage and Playoffs, alongside ADMT MAIN, which staged an impressive comeback from last place in the Playoffs to book its ticket. All seven local squads earned their spots through online qualifiers that kicked off on September 8, advancing past the Group Stage and Playoffs where only the top seven out of 20 teams survived.

Philippine Teams

  • POISON IVY GIZY: Assembled in June before adding VOID in July, the squad claimed first place in both the Group Stage and Playoffs, amassing 342 points and seven victories over 12 Group Stage rounds.
  • ADMT PYRITE: Overcoming early roster shuffles and team chemistry hurdles, ADMT PYRITE dedicated weeks of intensive practice prior to the qualifiers to punch its ticket to the Grand Finals.
  • GNR ESPORTS LEGACY OMEN: With roots tracing back to Vagabonds Esports and Blackfyre Esports prior to joining GNR, this veteran squad—boasting nine straight championship titles and a string of recent runner-up finishes—is hungry to reclaim the throne.
  • M12 SYN MAIN: Despite being a rookie lineup, M12 SYN MAIN has already reached the Garena LAN stage twice and looks to catch rivals off guard with patient rotations, sharp sniping, and calculated engagements.
  • LEAP MAIN: Featuring a five-man roster of ASPECT, IVHO, KLEPT, JEYEM, and CAMO, LEAP MAIN is forging its own path while upholding the LEAP banner and the legacy of LEAP UNBOUND’s Garena Elite Philippines triumph.
  • ROYAL GEMINI JA LN: Bouncing back from a sluggish playoff start, Royal Gemini rallied to finish sixth and lock in a Grand Finals berth, pairing aggressive early fights with disciplined late-game execution.
  • ADMT MAIN: Competing with a lineup formed roughly a month prior, ADMT MAIN climbed all the way back from the bottom of the Playoff standings to claim a spot in the Grand Finals.

Regional Teams

  • REVENANT ECLIPSE (Indonesia): Reuniting four former teammates, Revenant Eclipse captured the LMS Winter 2026 title in its very first official tournament under the organization’s banner.
  • ASC (Thailand): Originally formed by a group of friends playing casually before transitioning into structured competitive practice, ASC has established itself as a perennial championship force in Thailand.
  • CHANGE WORLD (Taiwan): A proven regional powerhouse, CHANGE WORLD has collected multiple international titles between 2022 and 2026, highlighted by its recent 2026 Winter Cup S7 victory.
