MOUZ enters the IEM Beijing 2026 grand final as the clear favorite at 81% implied probability due to an undefeated 8-0 map run through the playoffs and consistent dominance across recent events. The European roster secured semifinal advancement with a 2-0 sweep of BetBoom on Ancient and Mirage, extending a five-match win streak while posting elite ratings from torzsi and Spinx. Head-to-head results favor MOUZ 3-1 this year, including a recent 2-0 victory, alongside superior map pool control on Mirage and Inferno. The MongolZ reached their first S-tier final in over a year after a 2-0 semifinal win over Natus Vincere, fueled by bLitz’s standout play and prior playoff victories, yet their record against top competition remains limited. The best-of-five format on November 8 amplifies MOUZ’s depth advantages in the decisive series.
