Inferno

The defining moment arrived at 11-10 - xertioN won a critical 1v3 post-plant clutch that secured the map point for MOUZ. His ability to close the clutch at 11-10 - the highest-pressure round of the entire series - gave MOUZ the round they needed to close Map 2 before Legacy could force a momentum-shifting overtime. The 3-round winning margin reflected how close Legacy pushed MOUZ on their own map pick before xertioN's clutch decided the map.

Mirage

Mirage was a complete tactical shutdown. MOUZ dominated 13-3 - silencing the Brazilian crowd with an 11-round streak that rendered Legacy's Map 1 win irrelevant.

Legacy could generate only 3 rounds across the entire map - their worst individual map performance of the series and one of the most comprehensive Map 3 dominations of IEM Rio 2026 Day 1.
