The Peacekeeper Elite League 2026 Spring Grand Finals wrapped up on April 26 at the Qicai Convention & Exhibition Operations Center in Changsha. After three days and 18 matches, Chengdu AG claimed the championship with 150 total points, overturning a 14-point deficit in the very last game.
Sixteen teams competed for a share of the ¥16.4 million (~$2.4M USD) prize pool. The margin of victory was a single point. Here is the full breakdown.
PEL 2026 Spring Finals Results: How AG Pulled It Off
Chengdu AG entered the Grand Finals as Regular Season favorites after winning five out of seven weekly titles. Their star fragger HuaHua (Chen Yumeng) had already been the most talked-about player in the league. But Grand Finals lobbies are a different beast, and the road to the trophy was anything but smooth.
On Day 1, AG opened strong with 18 eliminations in Game 1, and HuaHua picked up the tournament’s first single-game MVP award with eight frags. Despite that hot start, Suzhou KSG took over the Day 1 leaderboard by winning back-to-back Chicken Dinners in Games 4 and 5, closing the day at 81 points.
Day 2 belonged to Wuxi KONE. The squad grabbed two wins in a single session and jumped to first place overall. Their fragger KONE Diao topped the elimination chart across all three days and never let go of that spot.
Heading into the final day, the top five were separated by a handful of points. Nothing was settled.
The Final Game That Decided Everything
This is where the Grand Finals earned its place in PEL history. Going into Game 18, Beijing WBG held a 14-point lead on the overall scoreboard. Guangzhou TT sat in second. AG were not even in a podium position at that point.
AG responded with a fully committed zone rotation, took high ground early, and methodically picked off remaining squads until they secured the Chicken Dinner. That single win was enough to flip the entire standings. Final score: AG 150 points, one point ahead of WBG.
It is the 17th championship trophy in the PEL’s history since the league launched in 2019.

HuaHua Makes History With Five Awards in One Season
HuaHua transferred to Chengdu AG as the biggest acquisition of the offseason, and plenty of critics questioned the price tag. He answered all of them.
At the Regular Season awards ceremony held on Day 1 of the Grand Finals, HuaHua became the first PEL player ever to sweep four individual awards in the same season: Regular Season MVP, Kill Leader, Most Improved Player, and Best Free Role. He then closed the tournament with the Grand Finals FMVP on top of those four, bringing his total to five trophies in a single split.
His teammate Linyu also set a record of his own. The AG veteran is now the first three-time PEL champion in the league’s eight-year existence.
One more detail that went viral on Chinese social media after the win: HuaHua revealed he had been carrying a picture of Faker clipped from a ramen package as a good-luck charm. He credited the League of Legends legend for inspiring him to stay composed under pressure during the Grand Finals.
What This Means for the Road to PMWC 2026
China is not participating in the PUBG Mobile Global Open in Jakarta this June, so the PEL pathway to international competition runs through a different route.
Seven PEL teams have qualified for the Game for Peace Macau Invitational (June 29 to July 5). Chengdu AG, as the top team in PEL Annual Points, will skip directly to the Invitational’s Grand Finals stage. The remaining six squads, Guangzhou TT, Hangzhou LGD, Beijing WBG, Suzhou KSG, Suzhou Tianba, and Wuxi KONE, enter at the Group Stage.
The combined PEL Annual Points and Macau Invitational standings will determine the three teams that represent China at the PUBG Mobile World Cup 2026 later this year. Every point from this Spring split feeds directly into that calculation.
Quick Reference
Champion: Chengdu AG, 150 points, last-game comeback, one-point margin. FMVP: HuaHua (Chen Yumeng), also swept four Regular Season individual awards.
