The MongolZ’s win over FURIA in the Group A seeding match put the Brazilian team on MOUZ’s side of the IEM Beijing 2026 playoff bracket. If both teams win their quarterfinals, they could meet in the semifinals. FURIA and BETBOOM will contest one quarterfinal, while MOUZ already has a semifinal place after going unbeaten on maps against TYLOO, BETBOOM, and PARIVISION in group play.
FURIA secured its playoff berth with a 2-1 win over Natus Vincere, then lost to The MongolZ in the seeding match. The decider on Dust2 went to the maximum number of rounds. The MongolZ will now face the winner of NAVI and PARIVISION for a place in the final.
NAVI reached that quarterfinal by eliminating Falcons. Falcons had already fallen to NAVI in the lower bracket, then recovered with wins over FaZe and HEROIC before their final playoff bid ended. After Falcons took a close opening map, NAVI won Inferno 13-4 and Mirage 13-3.
BETBOOM also came through the lower bracket, beating Aurora 2-0 before edging Liquid in the lower-bracket final. Its reward is a quarterfinal against FURIA, with MOUZ waiting for the winner.
The quarterfinals begin November 6, with PARIVISION versus NAVI at 07:30 and FURIA versus BETBOOM at 10:45. The semifinals follow on November 7, when The MongolZ face the PARIVISION-NAVI winner at 07:30 and MOUZ play the FURIA-BETBOOM winner at 10:45. The grand final is scheduled for November 8 at 08:30.
