A 3-0 final against The MongolZ capped a map-perfect IEM Beijing 2026 campaign for MOUZ. The title ends their long wait for an IEM trophy and makes them a leading contender for the PGL Singapore Major.
MOUZ won IEM Beijing 2026 on November 8 without losing a map at any point. Their series wins came against TYLOO, BETBOOM twice, PARIVISION and The MongolZ. The grand final ended 13-5 on Mirage, 13-6 on Dust2 and 13-4 on Inferno. It is the club’s first IEM title of the CS:GO/CS2 era.
The trophy is MOUZ’s second of 2026, after BLAST Bounty in August. The team arrived in Beijing ranked #1 in Valve’s regional rankings. The event was a Tier 1 ESL Grand Slam stop and one of the last big events before Singapore.
MOUZ removed Anubis in the final’s veto and picked Mirage and Inferno. The MongolZ removed Nuke and picked Dust2. In the final, xertioN posted a 1.44 rating with 47 kills, 32 deaths and 98.1 ADR, according to KeenGamer. Spinx, xelex, PR and torzsi were rated between 1.23 and 1.35.
HLTV’s award makes xertioN the first rifling in-game leader to win a Big Event MVP since Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander in 2019. The result puts MOUZ in a small group of teams to win a Big Event map-perfect. The team’s payout combined $125,000 in player prize money with a $235,000 team share. The MongolZ received $210,000, Natus Vincere $160,000 and BetBoom Team $120,000.
