MOUZ are the IEM Beijing 2026 champions after beating The MongolZ 3-0 in Sunday's grand final: 13-5 on Mirage, 13-6 on Dust2 and 13-4 on Inferno. They conceded only 15 rounds across the series and finished the event 11-0 in maps, five series without a single map loss.

In-game leader Dorian "xertioN" Berman was named DHL MVP after leading the final with 47 kills, 98.1 ADR and 85.2% KAST.

According to pley.gg, MOUZ had come close at IEM level for years without finishing the job, and xertioN had lost all five IEM finals he had played before Sunday. The wait ended in under three hours.

pley.gg also reports that ESL's on-stage host told the players no team had ever won an IEM event of 16 or more teams without dropping a single map before.

pley.gg reports that The MongolZ won the opening pistol on Mirage, but a sycrone timeout turned the map as MOUZ led 8-4 at the break, with xertioN going 23-10 with 126.1 ADR.

The underdogs picked Dust2 — MOUZ's second-weakest map of the last three months — and fought level at 6-6 with four AWPs bought in one round, but MOUZ won all seven second-half T rounds, Spinx finishing 22-8 with 102.2 ADR.

On Inferno, xelex pulled out a 2v5 and PR went 17-10 with 100.0 ADR in a 13-4 close.

pley.gg reports that MOUZ were already first in the VRS before the final, with HLTV's calculator adding six more points for the title, while The MongolZ stay ninth. Both teams now turn to PGL Major Singapore starting 24 November, where MOUZ go straight into Stage 3 and The MongolZ begin in Stage 2.
