FUT have eliminated MOUZ from the Esports World Cup 2026 after a confident 2-0 victory in the playoff quarter-finals. The European squad now moves within one series of the grand final.<\/p>\n

The result is especially notable because FUT\u2019s roster, which includes four former NAVI Junior players, has now moved above NAVI\u2019s main team in the VRS ranking. Meanwhile, MOUZ leaves the tournament in fifth-eighth place and receives $60,000 in prize money.<\/p>\n\n

FUT close the series in two maps<\/h2>\n

The quarter-final was scheduled as a best-of-three series, but FUT needed only two maps to secure their place in the semifinals. MOUZ removed Anubis, while FUT banned Inferno. MOUZ selected Dust2, FUT chose Ancient, and Mirage remained as the potential decider. However, the third map was not played.<\/p>\n

On Dust2, FUT claimed a 16-13 win after a closely contested opening map. MOUZ stayed competitive throughout the game, but FUT converted key rounds to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Yasin \u201cxfl0ud\u201d Ko\u00e7 led FUT on Dust2 with a 24-18 K-D score.<\/p>\n

Ancient became a far more one-sided affair. FUT won the map 13-5 and completed the 2-0 sweep without allowing MOUZ to force Mirage. MOUZ\u2019s selected map, Dust2, was competitive, but FUT\u2019s strong performance on Ancient ultimately decided the quarter-final.<\/p>\n
