The grand finals of Call of Duty: Mobile – Garena Battle Royale Cup (GBRC) 2026, held at Ayala Malls Manila Bay on November 7-8, have ended, with the Filipino squad POISON IVY GIZY being crowned the first-ever GBRC champion after they capped their dominant Playoffs campaign with a Map 8 win on the last day of the tournament.

Under the EndGame Protocol, the Grand Finals transpired over a two-day period. The Championship threshold was established at a level that was 10 points higher than the leader's total on Day 1. On the second day of the tournament, any team that achieved that threshold was eligible to win. The tournament was concluded when the first eligible squad to win a map claimed the Championship.
POISON IVY GIZY maintained its dominance throughout the entire tournament, culminating in a first-place finish in the Playoffs after securing 342 points and seven victories in the Group Stage within 12 rounds.
Six encounters were played on four maps: Isolated, Blackout, Rebirth Island, and Krai, during Day 1 of the Grand Finals. Each of the teams, including ADMT MAIN, LEAP MAIN, CHANGE WORLD, ROYAL GEMINI JA LN, ADMT PYRITE, and POISON IVY GIZY, has won a map. The standings were topped by POISON IVY GIZY with 106 points, followed by GNR Esports (99) and ADMT PYRITE (82). This established the Day 2 Championship threshold for GBRC 2026 at 116 points.
POISON IVY GIZY was the first team to surpass the threshold on Day 2, scoring 116 points on Map 7. In Map 8, GNR Esports and the other team remained neck-and-neck. The map win and the title were secured by POISON IVY GIZY with 132 points, as they were the final two squads in the final circle.
SecreGIZY, a member of POISON IVY GIZY, was awarded the title of Finals MVP for achieving the highest number of eliminations on the map that determined the title.
