PMWC 2026 Player Stats Leaders
Who leads the PMWC 2026 player stats, and who did the most damage in the Grand Finals? Tianba's Qzz finished the finals with 35 eliminations and won Finals MVP. Datagrounds lists ULF Esports' Eren7 as the finals damage leader with 6,974.
I'd start with those separate answers when judging the players. Qzz finished 4 eliminations ahead of his closest challenger, while damage and utility identify other performances worth your attention.
PMWC 2026 Player Stats
Datagrounds, The Dew Lab's tournament database, lists Qzz ahead of SleepY in its overall Grand Finals player table. Every player below played 18 finals matches, so their elimination rates share the same denominator.
Elimination Rank | Player | Team | Eliminations | Per Match | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Qzz | Tianba | 35 | 1.94 | 6,731 |
2 | SleepY | Horaa Esports | 31 | 1.72 | 6,695 |
T3 | HYUNBIN | Nongshim RedForce | 30 | 1.67 | 6,261 |
T3 | TIZ1 | Nongshim RedForce | 30 | 1.67 | 6,016 |
T3 | IQ | 4Thrives Esports | 30 | 1.67 | 5,677 |
T3 | Spower | GodLike Esports | 30 | 1.67 | 5,403 |
T7 | Scarface | ULF Esports | 28 | 1.56 | 6,109 |
T7 | Jowker | eArena | 28 | 1.56 | 6,058 |
9 | MORMAN | eArena | 27 | 1.50 | 5,478 |
T10 | Eren7 | ULF Esports | 26 | 1.44 | 6,974 |
T10 | Lost | S2G Esports | 26 | 1.44 | 4,592 |
T means tied on eliminations. Both players tied for 10th are included. Damage orders the tied rows for display only; it doesn't establish an official tiebreak or MVP ranking.
Qzz's rate comes from 35 divided by 18, rounded to 1.94 eliminations per match. His 5-elimination advantage over the players tied at 30 matters more than their order within that tie.
HYUNBIN and TIZ1 both reaching 30 gives Nongshim 2 players in that group. The official EWC standings place Nongshim RedForce 2nd overall.
I'd treat that pairing as a reason to study their fights together. The totals alone can't identify which player called a rotation or created an opening.
Damage and Utility Leaders
Eren7 produced the highest finals damage total in Datagrounds, finishing 243 ahead of Qzz. Qzz and SleepY were separated by just 36 damage despite their 4-elimination gap.
The other metric leaders came from the same overall finals scope. A knock downs an opponent, who can still be revived before elimination.
Metric | Player | Team | Finals Total |
|---|---|---|---|
Eliminations | Qzz | Tianba | 35 |
Damage | Eren7 | ULF Esports | 6,974 |
Knocks | SleepY | Horaa Esports | 34 |
Knocks | HYUNBIN | Nongshim RedForce | 34 |
Assists | MORMAN | eArena | 23 |
Grenade Eliminations | Spower | GodLike Esports | 9 |
Smokes Used | TernyK | eArena | 112 |
Eren7 averaged 387.4 damage per match, calculated as 6,974 divided by 18. Qzz averaged 373.9 by the same calculation. These rates come from total damage, with rounding to 1 decimal place.
The Level Infinite finals release confirms Qzz's 35 eliminations and 6,731 damage alongside his FMVP award. The EWC organizer's report also confirms his 32 knockdowns.
For utility, I'd give Spower's grenade share more weight than a raw throw count. His 9 grenade eliminations divided by 30 total eliminations equals 30%, according to Datagrounds' finals figures.
TernyK's 112 smokes show how much utility he used. They don't show whether each smoke protected a crossing or arrived too late. MORMAN's assist lead also deserves attention, but an assist total can't explain a player's entire role.
Qzz's Final-Day Stats
Qzz earned more than half his finals eliminations on the last day, according to Datagrounds' daily player tables. His full weekend included a sharp drop on Day 2 before the final-day recovery.
Finals Day | Matches | Eliminations | Per Match |
|---|---|---|---|
Day 1 | 6 | 14 | 2.33 |
Day 2 | 6 | 2 | 0.33 |
Day 3 | 6 | 19 | 3.17 |
His first 2 days added up to 16 eliminations. He beat that combined total by 3 on the last day, with 19 divided by 35 giving a 54.3% share.
That concentration changes how I'd describe his finals. The weekend average hides how much of his elimination lead came from the last 6 matches.
Player output also needs the team's competitive situation beside it. The Smash Rule explainer covers how the title can be decided separately from an individual elimination race.
Group and Survival Stage Leaders
Reyzak led the combined group-stage elimination table, while MiLu led the Survival Stage table in Datagrounds. Both recorded 30 eliminations over 12 matches in their respective stages.
Stage | Elimination Leader | Team | Matches | Eliminations | Per Match |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Group Stage | Reyzak | Bigetron by Vitality | 12 | 30 | 2.50 |
Survival Stage | MiLu | Tianba | 12 | 30 | 2.50 |
Grand Finals | Qzz | Tianba | 18 | 35 | 1.94 |
The group table covers both groups, so Reyzak's Group B entry is already included. Adding it again would count the same matches twice.
I'd compare these rates within their stage first. Each stage had a different field, and qualification routes gave players different numbers of matches. A higher rate in 12 matches doesn't settle who performed best over the whole event.
Player Stats Coverage
Datagrounds' overall finals table contains 68 distinct player records across 16 teams. Of those, 59 played 18 matches and 9 made fewer appearances.
Those records need a few boundaries when you compare them:
- Participation: a substitute's short run has fewer opportunities and a less stable average than an 18-match run.
- Scope: an overall stage table already includes that stage's daily tables. Adding both would duplicate performances.
- Units: survival and distance fields retain unspecified source units. They don't support a reliable comparison in minutes or meters.
- Identity: the records belong to this event. A matching handle elsewhere doesn't establish a player's career total.
The player aggregates and team match results also have different coverage. Datagrounds' team match record is incomplete for this final; the player comparisons above use the separate overall player tables.
FAQs on PMWC 2026 Player Stats
Did Qzz play for the PMWC 2026 winning team?
No. Qzz played for Tianba, who finished 5th. S2G Esports won the tournament, as listed in EWC's official standings. The individual Finals MVP award went to Qzz.
How much did Qzz receive for the PMWC MVP award?
EWC's organizer report says Qzz received $25,000 for the MVP award. That is the individual award payment, separate from Tianba's team prize money.
When were the PMWC 2026 Grand Finals played?
Level Infinite's release dates the Grand Finals to August 14 to 16, 2026 in Paris. The final had 16 teams playing 18 matches.
Where can I watch the PMWC 2026 finals replay?
The official EWC competition page links to a Finals VOD on YouTube. I'd start there to examine the fights behind these player totals.
What I'd Watch Next
I'd follow Eren7's damage alongside his elimination count in his next international final. That would help assess whether his damage lead develops into a stronger elimination rate against another finals field.
For the upcoming championship, I'd use the PMGC 2026 schedule and format to identify each team's stage before comparing player totals. Qualification routes can change the size of that comparison before anyone takes a fight.
