MOUZ claimed the IEM Beijing 2026 championship after dominating The MongolZ 3-0 in the grand final on November 8. Led by Dorian "xertioN" Berman, the European squad completed the entire tournament without dropping a single map, securing their second trophy of the year. The convincing victory also marked the organization's first Intel Extreme Masters title in Counter-Strike.
MOUZ delivered one of their strongest performances of the season, defeating The MongolZ on Mirage, Dust2, and Inferno to secure the championship. The team had already demonstrated impressive consistency throughout the tournament, overcoming TYLOO, BETBOOM, and PARIVISION on their way to the final. Their perfect run highlighted the roster's tactical discipline and strong individual form ahead of PGL Major Singapore 2026.
The grand final began on Mirage, where The MongolZ initially looked capable of challenging MOUZ. The Mongolian squad established an early advantage and applied pressure to their opponents' economy, creating opportunities to take control of the opening map. However, a costly aggressive play from Anarbileg "cobrazera" Uuganbayar allowed MOUZ to break through the B site and shift the momentum.
Following that crucial round, MOUZ took complete control of the game, winning ten of the next eleven rounds. xertioN led his team's efforts with effective attacking plays and consistent individual contributions, helping MOUZ establish a comfortable advantage. The European squad eventually closed out Mirage 13-5, putting itself one map ahead in the best-of-five series.
The MongolZ surprised their opponents by selecting Dust2, hoping to recover from their disappointing opening-map performance. Usukhbayar "910" Banzragch delivered several important AWP kills during the first half, helping his team remain competitive. Both sides reached halftime tied at 6-6, leaving the outcome uncertain heading into the second half.
However, MOUZ completely dominated after switching sides. Their attacking strategies proved too effective for The MongolZ, who failed to win a single defensive round. Seven consecutive victories allowed MOUZ to close out Dust2 13-6 and move within one map of the championship. The result placed enormous pressure on the Mongolian squad, who now needed three consecutive map victories to complete a comeback.
Inferno became the final map of the tournament, with MOUZ immediately establishing control through an aggressive and well-coordinated attacking performance. The European team secured a 9-3 lead in the opening half, leaving The MongolZ with another difficult recovery attempt. Oldřich "PR" Nový played an important role, delivering several impactful rounds that helped maintain his team's advantage.
The MongolZ struggled to respond after halftime, managing only one additional round before MOUZ secured the championship. A convincing 13-4 victory completed the 3-0 sweep and confirmed the European organization as IEM Beijing 2026 champions. Across the entire grand final, The MongolZ won just 15 rounds, demonstrating the scale of MOUZ's dominance.
Dorian "xertioN" Berman delivered the strongest individual performance in the grand final, finishing the series with 47 kills, 32 deaths, and a 1.44 rating. The Israeli in-game leader also recorded 98.1 average damage per round and an impressive 85.2% KAST. His contribution was particularly significant because he combined strong individual statistics with the responsibilities of leading the team's tactical decisions.
Lotan "Spinx" Giladi also impressed, recording 46 kills and a 1.35 rating, while Adrian "xelex" Vincze finished with a 1.33 rating. PR contributed a 1.28 rating, and Ádám "torzsi" Torzsás completed the team's balanced performance with a 1.23 rating. For The MongolZ, Sodbayar "Techno" Munkhbold was the only player to finish with a rating above 1.00, recording 41 kills and a 1.13 rating.
MOUZ's victory was particularly remarkable because the team completed the entire IEM Beijing tournament without dropping a single map. They defeated TYLOO in their opening series before overcoming BETBOOM in the group-stage upper-bracket final. Their impressive performances continued in the playoffs, where they eliminated PARIVISION and defeated BETBOOM again to reach the championship match.
The grand final against The MongolZ extended that flawless record to eleven consecutive map victories across five series. The achievement placed MOUZ among a small group of teams that have won major international Counter-Strike tournaments without losing a map. It also demonstrated the progress made under xertioN's leadership following the team's earlier roster adjustments.
The IEM Beijing championship represents MOUZ's second title of 2026 following their victory at BLAST Bounty in August. It also marks an important milestone for the organization, which had previously struggled to convert strong tournament performances into major trophies. After finishing as runners-up at ESL Pro League Season 24, the squad successfully returned to championship form in China.
For The MongolZ, the defeat ended an otherwise impressive tournament campaign that included a semi-final victory over NAVI. Despite failing to challenge MOUZ in the grand final, the Mongolian team demonstrated its potential to compete against leading international opponents. Both organizations will now turn their attention to PGL Major Singapore 2026, where MOUZ will enter with significant confidence following their undefeated championship run.
