MOUZ Heavily Favored in IEM Beijing Grand Final Clash Against Resurgent TheMongolz
The Counter-Strike Grand Final of IEM Beijing 2026 sees MOUZ enter as strong favorites against TheMongolz, with prediction markets reflecting MOUZ's flawless tournament run and dominant head-to-head record.
The Counter-Strike 2 prediction market on Polymarket, centered on the IEM Beijing 2026 Grand Final between TheMongolz and MOUZ, is currently heavily skewed in favor of the European powerhouse, MOUZ. With a substantial trading volume of $340,355, current prices indicate an implied probability of 78.5% for a MOUZ victory compared to 21.5% for TheMongolz. This highly anticipated best-of-five (Bo5) series is scheduled for November 8, 2026, at 2:30 AM ET.
The IEM Beijing 2026, hosted in China from November 2nd to 8th, features a $1,250,000 prize pool, culminating in this high-stakes final at the Wukesong Arena. The market's strong lean towards MOUZ is underpinned by their exceptional performance throughout the tournament. MOUZ has enjoyed a "flawless run," advancing to the Grand Final without dropping a single map in their five matches, including a dominant 2-0 victory over BETBOOM in the semifinals. Their consistent form has also seen them secure the top spot in Group B after defeating PARIVISION 2-0. Individually, MOUZ's Dorian “xertioN” Berman has been a standout player, boasting a 1.67 Rating 3.0 and 111.0 ADR in their semifinal clash.
Conversely, TheMongolz have demonstrated a remarkable resurgence at IEM Beijing, surprising many with their strong play. They secured their spot in the Grand Final by overcoming Natus Vincere 2-0 in the semifinals, having also bested FURIA 2-1, HEROIC 2-0, and Legacy 2-1 earlier in the tournament. The Mongolian squad, which underwent a roster rebuild in October 2026 with the additions of nin9 and cobrazera, has shown significant improvement, even winning the 1win Private Club Season 2. Their captain, Garidmagnai “bLitz” Byambasuren, delivered a stellar performance against NAVI with a 1.49 rating.
Despite TheMongolz's impressive tournament run, the head-to-head record favors MOUZ, who have won three of their four encounters against TheMongolz in 2026, including a recent 2-0 victory at PGL Masters Bucharest 2026 on October 26. This historical advantage, combined with MOUZ's current undefeated streak in Beijing, reinforces their position as the clear favorite in the prediction market. The market odds imply that while TheMongolz have certainly "leveled up their game", overcoming MOUZ's formidable form in a best-of-five series will be a significant challenge.
