MOUZ Beat G2 2-1 at PGL Astana as xertioN Shines Again

MOUZ took down G2 2-1 at PGL Astana 2026 with xertioN posting a 1.29 rating and 95.7 ADR — his second match-leading performance in two days.

MOUZ Beat G2 2-1 at PGL Astana as xertioN Shines Again

MOUZ are 2-0 at PGL Astana 2026. The European side defeated G2 2-1 on day two of the Swiss group stage, dropping Dust2 14-16 in overtime before clawing back on Mirage 13-10 and closing Inferno with a dominant 13-7. The 7-1 head-to-head record against G2 holds — and xertioN is the reason why.

The xertioN show

Recently moved into the IGL chair, the Israeli rifler finished as MOUZ’s highest-rated player for the second match running. Against G2 he posted a 1.29 rating, 57 kills, 95.7 ADR, and a 20-4 CT-side run on Inferno that decided the decider. After his 1.52-rated debut against Gentle Mates the day before, the IGL transition is paying off in the most direct way possible.

The new lineup is working

xelex had a rocky start on Dust2 as the new anchor but found his level on Mirage with a 1.67 rating. jL settled in quietly at 0.95 — his arrival on loan from NAVI is more about communication and stage presence than fragging spike. torzsi was excellent throughout the series, finishing with 61 kills and a 1.27 rating. The Brollan/Jimpphat bench plus xertioN’s promotion has produced a faster-clicking team than most expected.

What xertioN said after the match

The new captain admitted he had been worried about becoming a burden in the IGL role, but said two matches in he feels comfortable. He’s calling on both sides — demanding, but he framed it as having forced him to understand the game at a deeper level. MOUZ’s 2-0 group-stage start doesn’t prove the rebuild is finished, but it’s two hard-fought wins and two top-of-the-board performances from the new captain. That’s a genuine signal.
