IEM Beijing 2026 EVP and All-Star players revealed

MOUZ became the first team to have all five of its players rated above 1.15 in an MVP event since 2019. The team won all 11 maps it played in Beijing, and only one map went past the 22-round limit.

Dorian "xertioN" Berman was named the event's MVP with a 1.53 rating in the playoffs, and the trophy went home with MOUZ. Winning this award as an in-game leader (IGL) is rare. xertioN became the first rifler IGL to be named MVP at a Major event since Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander in 2019.

Dennis "sycrone" Nielsen's decision to give the captaincy to the 22-year-old opener is part of this result. The decision was risky, but MOUZ is doing very well right now.

Natus Vincere's sharpshooter w0nderful was also one of the tournament's standout names. He was named map MVP nine times, posting a 1.42 rating and a 1.08 KPRW. He beat Falcons twice, played very well against PARIVISION in the quarterfinals, and put up a fight in the losses to FURIA and The MongolZ.

xertioN's playoff performance also blocked a third-place MVP award for w0nderful, which is extremely rare. This clearly shows the level of the tournament.
