MOUZ win IEM Beijing without dropping a single map: 3-0 over The MongolZ in the final

MOUZ are the IEM Beijing champions, and they won it in the most emphatic way possible. The European side beat The MongolZ 3-0 in the grand final on Sunday 8 November and finished the event without losing a single map.

A one-sided final

The MongolZ started well on Mirage, but a cobrazera overpeek opened the door to B for MOUZ, the Mongolian side lost control of their economy and the map ended 13-5. On Dust2, 910's AWP kept them in the game early on, until MOUZ took over and closed it 13-6. And on Inferno, MOUZ posted a 9-3 T half before sealing it 13-4.

xertioN was the best player of the final, with a 1.44 rating, 47 kills to 32 deaths and 98.1 average damage per round, and took the event MVP. The whole team finished above 1.20: Spinx on 1.35, xelex on 1.33, PR on 1.28 and torzi on 1.23.

A perfect event

The road to the title was flawless. In Group B, MOUZ beat TYLOO, BETBOOM (with their only real scare, a Mirage settled 16-14 in overtime) and PARIVISION, earning a direct semi-final place. There they beat BETBOOM again, and in the final they gave The MongolZ no chance.

Earlier in the week, xertioN made a claim that sounded bold at the time: "I think this is the best MOUZ we have ever seen." After the title, coach sycrone struck the same note: if anyone earned this trophy, it's MOUZ.

Second title of the year, and straight into the Major

It's MOUZ's second trophy of 2026, after BLAST Bounty in August, and comes a week after finishing third at PGL Masters Bucharest. The team will play the Singapore Major from Stage 3, and will do so as one of the big favourites.

For The MongolZ, the final caps a strong event: it was their first big final in fourteen months, and along the way they knocked out FURIA in the group stage and NAVI in the semi-finals.
