Guilty Gear -Strive- returned to CEO for its sixth consecutive year, with the tournament once again bringing together a strong mix of North American and international talent. The Top 8 featured RedIAmNot, Ticklememour, Cheryo, Peluna, NitroNY, Hotashi, UMISHO, and Kshuewhatdamoo, with several of Strive's established names making the final stage.

Peluna ultimately took the title, capping off the weekend with a standout run for Dizzy, the character she has become closely associated with since her return to Strive. The result makes Peluna the latest major winner in an increasingly competitive 2026 season, while CEO's Top 8 provided another strong showing for one of Arc System Works' flagship fighters.
