The MongolZ finished IEM Beijing 2026 as runners-up to MOUZ — the biggest international LAN final in Mongolian CS history.

The pivot — Mirage over-peek
HLTV: The MongolZ led early on Mirage. A cobrazera over-peek let MOUZ into B, and the map unravelled from there — 13-5 MOUZ, pace set for the series.
