NOVA Esports are now two-time Peacekeeper Elite League champions, having won the two inaugural seasons of the tournament. Previously going by the name 'X-Quest Force', the talented Chinese PUBG MOBILE team took up the name 'NOVA' right before PMWL Spring Split commenced. The Chinese team did not have the best run in PMWL 2020, finishing ninth in the West Zone. However, the talented side bounced back by winning their national tournament.
