PMWC 2026 Awards: Qzz Wins MVP as Five Players Take Individual Honors
S2G Esports lifted the trophy, but the individual honors went somewhere else entirely. Tianba's Qzz was named PMWC 2026 Grand Finals MVP, and the rest of the award list spread across four different teams, none of them the champions.
PMWC 2026 Individual Award Winners
| Award | Player | Team | Achievement |
|---|---|---|---|
| MVP | Qzz | Tianba | 35 eliminations |
| Best IGL | DOK | Aurora Gaming | 22 eliminations |
| Grenade Master | Spower | GodLike Esports | 9 grenade eliminations |
| Field Medic | Morman | eArena | 12 rescues |
| Eagle Eye | TernyK | eArena | 394m longest elimination |
Qzz Takes MVP From a Fifth-Place Team
Tianba finished fifth overall, but that didn't stop Qzz from taking the tournament's biggest individual award.
His numbers carried the case on their own: 35 eliminations, 6,731 damage, 32 knockouts and just under 51 minutes of total survival time, averaging 1.94 eliminations and 373.94 damage per match.
Tianba also recorded two WWCDs, including the final match of the tournament, strengthening Qzz's case for the MVP award.
DOK Wins Best IGL After Aurora's Match 16 Swing
Aurora Gaming's DOK earned Best IGL off the back of the run that actually reshaped the championship.
His 22 eliminations and averages of 1.22 eliminations and 311.56 damage per match backed up the calling that took Aurora to their Match 16 win, the one that denied S2G an early trophy and pushed Aurora to 140 points and Match Point eligibility.
Aurora eventually finished third overall with 146 points.
Spower Gives India Its Award
GodLike Esports finished 13th, well outside the title race, but Spower still walked away with something.
Nine grenade eliminations earned him the Grenade Master award, adding another highlight to a campaign already defined by his 1v4 clutch against Team Vitality earlier in the Grand Finals.
For Indian fans, Spower's award was one of the biggest individual takeaways from the tournament.
eArena Take Two Specialist Awards
eArena picked up both remaining honors.
Morman's 12 rescues won Field Medic, while TernyK's 394-meter elimination took Eagle Eye, the longest elimination recorded in the tournament.
Neither statistic appears in the main standings, but both highlight the different ways players can impact a PUBG Mobile match beyond simply collecting eliminations.
The Takeaway
S2G won the World Cup.
The individual honors went to a fifth-place MVP, a third-place IGL, a 13th-place specialist and two players from a team that finished fourth.
PMWC 2026's trophy had one name on it. Its award list had five.
