9z sweep PARIVISION 3-0 to claim XSE Pro League Guangzhou 2026

<p>9z have claimed the XSE Pro League Guangzhou 2026 title after a decisive 3-0 sweep of PARIVISION in the best-of-five grand final on July 12. The result earned 9z the winners share and their first-ever international LAN trophy, a milestone moment for South American Counter-Strike in 2026.</p><h3>The road to the final</h3><p>9z beat Alliance on July 11 to secure their spot in a notable event grand final for the first time in the organization's history. PARIVISION, meanwhile, arrived in the final after arguably the stronger semifinal performance, dispatching FaZe 2-0. But the 3-0 scoreline on July 12 was a reflection of 9z's peak form on the day rather than a ceiling on PARIVISION.</p><h3>HUASOPEEK MVP</h3><p>Argentine star Matias 'HUASOPEEK' Ibañez Hernandez earned the HLTV MVP for the event, ending the tournament with a 1.19 rating. It was his career-first MVP award, and the individual recognition mirrors the collective breakthrough for the entire 9z project.</p><h3>Prize distribution</h3><p>PARIVISION took home the runner-up share for the runner-up finish, still a meaningful haul in a tournament running on a $1,000,000 total prize pool. XSE Pro League Guangzhou 2026 was a Chinese LAN staged as part of Asia's growing CS2 event calendar.</p><h3>Big-picture significance</h3><p>Post-match, 9z head coach and management stressed that the title 'validates the rebuild' after months of roster iteration. HUASOPEEK himself told HLTV in an earlier interview: 'We're close to being a tier-one team, but I don't think we're there yet' — a comment that will now age against the July title in Guangzhou.</p>
