Team Poison Ivy won the championship title at the inaugural LAN tournament Call of Duty: Mobile – Garena Battle Royale Cup, which took place at a home venue in Manila, Philippines. The competition became the first major offline event fully dedicated to the Battle Royale mode in CODM.
The Grand Final took place on November 7–8, 2026, with 10 of the best teams from the Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Indonesia participating after passing qualifying rounds that began as early as September 26.
The tournament introduced the new Endgame Protocol rules for the first time, under which the point threshold for victory was determined as the leader’s score at the end of the first day plus 10. Since Poison Ivy finished the first day with 106 points, the winning threshold was set at 116 points.
On the second day of the competition, Poison Ivy were the first to cross this threshold on the 7th map, and secured the final victory and trophy on the 8th map, defeating their closest pursuers from GNR Esports in the final round.
Representatives of Poison Ivy stated that the key to their success was strict discipline and daily training, while the team’s next goal is to participate in world-level tournaments and win an international championship title.
The organizers from Garena announced the launch of a new open Rookie Circuit system in 2027 for the Battle Royale and Multiplayer modes. The competitions will take place four times a year and will give players the opportunity to qualify for the highest tier: the World Championship and the regional Garena Battle Royale Cup.
As a reminder, the full list of invited teams for PGL Cluj-Napoca 2027 has been announced.
