MOUZ secured the IEM Beijing 2026 title earlier this week by winning all 11 maps, earning five EVP-tier or higher awards in a single event for the first time in three years, as reported by HLTV.org.
The championship run in Beijing establishes a rare statistical milestone for the organization. MOUZ became the first team since Liquid at IEM Chicago in 2019 to place all five players above a 1.15 rating at a major tournament.
Dominance Across Every Map
Dorian “xertioNBerman claimed the Most Valuable Player award after posting a 1.53 rating in the playoffs. According to HLTV.org, xertioN stands as the first rifling in-game leader to win a Big Event MVP since Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander in 2019.
The roster encountered little resistance on the path to the trophy. Only one of the 11 maps played exceeded 22 rounds. Spinx finished as the highest-rated player on the team during the group stage, while torzsi maintained a steady impact, finishing 58% of rounds with positive round swing.
W0nderful and B1t Deliver Stellar Individual Performances
Natus Vincere sniper w0nderful delivered a stellar performance, earning nine player of the map awards and a 1.42 tournament rating. His teammate b1t matched that form in the groups, highlighted by a 1.78 rating across three maps in an elimination series against Falcons.
The MongolZ reached the grand final behind strong performances from Techno, who secured his career-first EVP award with a 1.18 rating against top 10 opponents. PR and xelex completed the EVP selections for MOUZ, cementing a tournament where historic statistical thresholds were rewritten.
