MOUZ swept BetBoom in the groups on Tuesday and have not dropped a map in Beijing. BetBoom answered by knocking FURIA out in Friday's quarter-final.

The Matchup

MOUZ and BetBoom meet again in the second semi-final of IEM Beijing 2026 on Saturday, four days after MOUZ swept the group meeting between them. That sweep is the reason MOUZ are here rested: they beat TYLOO, BetBoom and PARIVISION without dropping a map, won Group B on Wednesday, and skipped the quarter-finals entirely.

BetBoom took the long road. They lost that Tuesday series, dropped into the lower bracket, and have won three straight elimination series since, over Aurora, Liquid and, on Friday, FURIA, the top-ranked team in the world.

Both teams field their regular five, with no stand-in on either side: torzsi, Spinx, xertioN, PR and xelex for MOUZ, and Boombl4, zorte, S1ren, d1Ledez and Magnojez for BetBoom. MOUZ are ranked No. 4 in the world on HLTV, BetBoom No. 7. The winner plays Sunday's grand final. The loser goes home.

Key Factors

BetBoom's run starts with their AWPer. zorte was the best player in Friday's quarter-final by a distance, with a 1.35 series rating against FURIA, 62 kills against 36 deaths, and a 1.84 rating on Ancient, the map BetBoom picked and won 13-5. Around him, Magnojez carries a 1.14 rating over the past three months with 81.0 damage per round, ahead of Spinx's 79.2 on the other side, and S1ren backed the FURIA series up at a 1.11 rating across all three maps.

That is not a one-man team catching a good day. It is a five that has now won three straight series with its season on the line.

MOUZ have been flawless in Beijing, and the flaw in the sweep case is how close their one real test ran. Their Tuesday win over BetBoom was a 13-6 on Ancient and a 16-14 on Mirage: BetBoom took MOUZ's own map pick to overtime before it closed.

Spinx, at a 1.16 rating over the past three months, is MOUZ's steadiest rifle, and torzsi owned the Tuesday AWP duel, 38 kills against 17 deaths across that series. But zorte arrives in better form than the player torzsi faced on Tuesday, and BetBoom's likeliest pick, Ancient, is the map they just dismantled FURIA on. One map is a realistic ask. Two is where MOUZ's depth should tell.

The schedule cuts the other way, and it is the honest counterweight. MOUZ have not played since Wednesday and have had three days to prepare for an opponent they already know. BetBoom played three maps on Friday, the last of them an overtime decider, and turn around the next morning.

If the rest gap shows anywhere, it shows late in a second map, and a MOUZ sweep is the obvious way this pick dies: they have won every series this week in two maps, and a fresher, better team repeating Tuesday's result is no stretch. What BetBoom have going for them is that Tuesday's sweep was never comfortable, and nothing about their Friday form says they fold in two this time.

Our Pick
BetBoom +1.5 maps-136

MOUZ swept this series on Tuesday and have not dropped a map all week in Beijing, so the case against this pick writes itself. But BetBoom are a different side three days later, with three straight wins and a quarter-final taken off the top-ranked team in the world in an overtime decider.

MOUZ should still win the series. Asking them to win it in straight maps, with BetBoom's Ancient pick in the way, is the part that asks too much. What beats this pick is a fourth straight MOUZ sweep. Take BetBoom +1.5 maps at -136.

Final Result
2-0 (13-7, 13-8)
