What does the IEM Beijing 2026 playoff bracket look like?

According to HLTV, favourites MOUZ and FURIA sit on the same side of the bracket. That opens the door for NAVI, who share their half with two teams that recently changed rosters: PARIVISION and The MongolZ. Times below are converted from HLTV's Central European listing to UTC.

How did The MongolZ end FURIA's streak?

In the Group A seeding match, world number one FURIA took Inferno 13-10. The series opened with a Techno ace clutch, but a strong molodoy display carried FURIA through. Then came Cache, a map The MongolZ had lost four times in a row. bLitz flipped it with a Deagle double and a 1v2 clutch, finishing on a 1.97 rating as The MongolZ won 13-8.

How did NAVI knock out Falcons?

NAVI had already beaten Falcons 2-0 on day one. This time, Falcons took Ancient 13-11 thanks to a big first half from kyousuke. After that it was one-way traffic. NAVI won Inferno 13-4, with w0nderful going 25-4, then opened Mirage with a 12-0 T side and won it 13-3.

b1t ended the series on a 1.78 rating and w0nderful on 1.58, while karrigan finished on 0.64. 'I don't remember the last time we got smacked like this,' NiKo said after the match, admitting the team did not arrive as title contenders. It is Falcons' first LAN group stage exit of the season, and they still have a Major title to defend in Singapore.

BETBOOM take the last ticket

BETBOOM and Liquid met for the final playoff spot. BETBOOM won Liquid's Anubis pick 13-5, with Magnojez posting a 2.40 rating. Liquid took Nuke 13-11 to force a decider. On Mirage, a zorte ace at 11-11 put BETBOOM on match point, and they closed it out 13-11 to send Liquid home.

Who are the favourites in the playoffs?

On paper, MOUZ and FURIA are the teams to beat, and HLTV calls them the event favourites. FURIA must first get past a BETBOOM side that has been rising fast in the rankings. On the other half, an in-form NAVI face PARIVISION, with The MongolZ waiting in the semi-finals.
