torzsi, Spinx, xelex and PR join MVP xertioN among the honours, and MOUZ fill the maximum three places in the IEM Beijing All-Star team.
Four of HLTV’s seven EVPs from IEM Beijing 2026 play for MOUZ. Ádám “torzsi” Torzsás, Lotan “Spinx” Giladi, Adrian “xelex” Vincze and Oldřich “PR” Nový were named on Monday, a day after Dorian “xertioN” Berman took the MVP award for the 3-0 grand final win over The MongolZ. Every player in the winning five now has an individual award from the event.
The other three EVPs went to NAVI‘s Ihor “w0nderful” Zhdanov and Valeriy “b1t” Vakhovskiy from the third-placed side, and to Techno, the only player from the runners-up on the list.
HLTV’s reason for the clean sweep is in its own numbers: MOUZ are the first team since 2019 to have all five players above a 1.15 rating at an MVP event, according to HLTV.
Three places is the limit
The All-Star team followed later on Monday evening. HLTV picks the best player in each of five roles from positional data, using the same method as for MVPs and EVPs, and no team can have more than three players in it. MOUZ reached that limit.
| Role | Player | Team |
|---|---|---|
| IGL | xertioN |  MOUZ |
| Opener | xelex | MOUZ |
| Closer | Spinx | MOUZ |
| AWPer | w0nderful |  NAVI |
| Anchor | b1t | NAVI |
With the cap reached, torzsi and PR are the two EVPs left out, and NAVI’s pair take the AWPer and anchor places. HLTV’s card for xertioN has him on 92.3 ADR for the event, while xelex, the 18-year-old opener, kept a 77.7% KAST.
Eleven maps, none dropped
The awards reward a run that left little room for anyone else. MOUZ won all 11 maps they played in Beijing across five series, against TYLOO, BetBoom twice, PARIVISION and The MongolZ. In the grand final they conceded 15 rounds over three maps, 13-5 on Mirage, 13-6 on Dust2 and 13-4 on Inferno.
All five finished the final on a positive K-D: Spinx went 46-27, xertioN 47-32, torzsi 40-27, xelex 43-31 and PR 35-26. On the other side Techno, at 41-40, was the only MongolZ player with more kills than deaths. In the semi-final against BetBoom it was xertioN again, 40-20 with 111.0 ADR.
The award came with the first IEM title of xertioN’s career, after five lost IEM finals, and puts him alongside gla1ve as a rifler and in-game leader named MVP. He told HLTV after the final:
To be on the list with gla1ve [as a rifle IGL MVP] is an honor. He’s such a role model.
First in both rankings before Singapore
MOUZ also went top of HLTV’s world ranking on Monday, the first time they have been there in over two years, HLTV wrote. In the Valve Regional Standings they were already first. As we wrote on Sunday, the team was 11th in May, a few weeks after xertioN took over the calls, and led the 2 November snapshot with 1,960 points, 38 ahead of Vitality.
That spot gives MOUZ a Stage 3 invite to the PGL Major Singapore 2026, where the eight invited teams start on 2 December. NAVI, with two All-Stars of their own, start a stage earlier on 28 November. MOUZ arrive as the team everyone else has to beat, with an award for every player in the lineup.
