A look at NOVA Esports, the peacekeeper of PUBG Mobile

In this week's spotlight, we take a look at NOVA Esports, once a conqueror in PUBG Mobile, now trying to find their purpose back.

NOVA Esports, a prominent name in the competitive mobile gaming scene, has etched its mark in the annals of Peacekeeper Elite (PEL), the Chinese version of PUBG Mobile. Intertwined with triumphs and tribulations, their journey paints a captivating narrative of resilience, strategic prowess, and unwavering dedication.

The X-Quest F to NOVA Legacy: 2019-2020

Before Nova Esports, there was X-Quest F, a team formed in 2019 that quickly established itself as a force to be reckoned with in PEL. Spearheaded by Paraboy, a player known for his aggressive playstyle and clutch moments, X-Quest F secured a second-place finish in the first-ever PEL in 2019. 

High on their runner-up achievement, Paraboy and the rest of X-Quest F showed their prowess in the Peacekeeper Elite scene in the following major tournament, The Peacekeeper Elite Championship 2019. They snatch three "Chicken Dinner" (first-place finish in a round of PUBGM/PEL) with 61 kills overall. This show of talent made them the first-ever PEC Champion. 

NOVA's foray into PEL began in July 2020 with the acquisition of X-Quest F (XQF) to form NOVA XQF. The team was riding their momentum from their championship win and looked like the favourite to win the PEL Season 2 after failing to in the first season. This strategic move instantly propelled NOVA into the spotlight, inheriting a roster brimming with talent like Paraboy, Coolboy, Jimmy, and Order.

The expectations were immense, and NOVA XQF delivered. With Paraboy crowned "Best Player of the World" and securing MVP and Highest Kill titles, the team dominated PEL Season 2, emerging victorious on the coveted grand stage. This feat solidified NOVA's position as a powerhouse in the PEL.

Dominant Ascent: Raising the Bar of Excellence

They tried to defend their title in the third season of PEL in 2020. However, they failed to do so and finished in 6th. But by no means did they fail in 2020. This was just the beginning of their rise to global dominance. They completely dominate the 2020 edition of Peacekeeper Elite Championship, eclipsing the runner-up, Royal Never Giveup, by a whopping 39 points difference.

In 2021, NOVA embarked on a global conquest, capturing the prestigious PUBG Mobile Global Championship (PMGC) 2020 with a display of tactical mastery and clutch firepower. Trying to secure their legacy, NOVA grabbed the crown of the 2021 PEL Season 3 after missing the chance to defend their title in the first and second seasons. 

NOVA's reign continued in 2022. They successfully defended their PMGC crown, cementing their status as the first-ever back-to-back champions of the tournament. Throughout their journey, NOVA adapted to the ever-changing meta, strategically integrating new talents into the roster while retaining the core strengths of Paraboy, Order, Jimmy, and Coolboy.

Beyond Victories: A Legacy of Innovation and Collaboration

NOVA's impact extends beyond mere tournament victories. The team actively fosters a culture of innovation and collaboration within the PEL ecosystem. Their partnership with Tencent Video paves the way for cross-promotional ventures, generating fresh content and engaging the broader esports community.

Furthermore, NOVA actively invests in grassroots initiatives, nurturing young talent and contributing to the overall development of the esports scene in China, as proven by their award from the Chengdu Executive Committee of the China Internet. Their commitment to sustainability and long-term growth sets them apart, solidifying their position as champions and pillars of the PEL community.

The Future Unfolds

As NOVA Esports embarks on a new chapter, their hunger for success remains undimmed. With a seasoned roster, a proven track record of adaptation, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, the future holds immense promise for this dominant Peacekeeper Elite force.

Whether they continue to rewrite PEL records or inspire the next generation of champions, one thing remains certain: NOVA Esports has cemented its legacy as a true titan of the Peacekeeper Elite landscape.
