The landscape of professional Counter-Strike 2 has a new, undisputed king. MOUZ have officially etched their name into the history books at IEM Beijing 2026, securing the championship title in a display of dominance rarely seen in the modern era. By dismantling The MongolZ with a clean 3-0 sweep in the Grand Final, the European squad finished the entire tournament without dropping a single map.
This wasn't just a win; it was a statement. On November 8, MOUZ closed out the series with clinical precision, taking Mirage 13-5, Dust2 13-6, and Inferno 13-4. For The MongolZ, the tournament was a massive success despite the final result, marking their return to a major international Grand Final after a challenging year of rebuilding.
The individual brilliance of the MOUZ roster was the story of the week. Dorian "xertioN" Berman walked away with the DHL MVP award, but the team's success was a collective effort. In a rare statistical feat, all five members of the MOUZ lineup finished the event with a rating above 1.15. This level of internal consistency is the first of its kind at an MVP-awarded event since 2019, cementing this iteration of the roster as one of the most balanced and dangerous in the world.
With the trophy secured, MOUZ now turn their attention to the BLAST Rivals Hong Kong 2026 event, arriving as the clear team to beat. Meanwhile, the scene continues to move at a breakneck pace, with teams like G2 looking to find their footing after recent struggles and FURIA aiming to maintain their momentum.
