THE journey to global Call of Duty Mobile supremacy begins now.
Philippine representatives Elevate PuK and Stalwart Esports have officially arrived in Poland to begin their campaign at the 2025 Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship, where the best teams from across the globe will battle for the ultimate prize and bragging rights as the world’s top CODM squad.
Familiar Faces, New Battles
After months of preparation and training, both Elevate PuK and Stalwart Esports are carrying the Philippine flag with pride – and a mix of unfinished business and renewed hunger.
For defending world champions Elevate PuK, the mission remains clear: defend the crown and make history.
Head coach Mark Alexis Olea previously noted that the team’s daily grind and discipline have brought them back to this stage, promising an even stronger version of Elevate for this year’s competition.
Meanwhile, Stalwart Esports, whose breakthrough came after defeating Elevate during the regional finals, are entering the Worlds stage once again but this time with high confidence and unity. The addition of Jhai has elevated their playstyle and mentality, giving them the firepower needed to challenge the best from every region.
The Group Draws: Path to the Knockout Stage
The group stage of the 2025 CODM World Championship will feature four groups of four teams each, with only the top two teams per group advancing to the knockout stage. Each matchup will be crucial, as early momentum can define a team’s entire campaign.
Elevate PuK finds itself in a stacked Group A, facing tough competition from multiple regions:
- Exclusive (Europe)
- OUG (China)
- UnMythic Dream (North America)
As the defending champions, Elevate will have a target on their backs, with every opponent eager to take down the reigning kings.
On the other side, Stalwart Esports joins Group D, where they’ll clash with:
- TLE Esports (North America)
- B34R Clan (Africa)
- Street Gaming (Latin America)
It’s a balanced yet dangerous group – one that will test Stalwart’s composure, adaptability, and teamwork against a diverse field of playstyles.
The rest of the groups are found here:
While both teams have established themselves as fierce rivals in the Philippines, their mutual respect remains at the forefront.
Their budding rivalry has pushed both organizations to reach new heights, and now, both squads have the chance to shine on the world’s biggest CODM stage once again.
The 2025 CODM World Championship is powered by the OnePlus 15, the tournament’s official gaming smartphone. The flagship device is designed for peak performance, ensuring that every competitor can play with zero lag and maximum precision – a vital advantage in a tournament where milliseconds can decide championships.
Both Philippine teams are set to kick off their group stage matches on Friday, November 7. Matches can be watched live on YouTube, streaming at the official CODM Esports channel (@CODMesports). The 2025 CODM World Champs runs from November 7 to 9.
Anticipation is brewing among local and international fans alike as Elevate PuK aims to prove their dominance once again, while Stalwart Esports seeks to make their mark and show the world that the Philippines remains a powerhouse in CODM esports.
No matter the outcome though, one thing is certain: both teams carry the same mission – to bring home glory and continue writing Philippine CODM history on the world stage.
