FUT Knocks Out MOUZ in Major Upset at IEM Cologne 2026

MOUZ is out. FUT sent them home.

The Turkish squad pulled off a 2-1 upset in an elimination match at IEM Cologne 2026 Stage 3. It wasn't supposed to go this way. MOUZ came in as the bigger name. They left in 12th-14th place.

How FUT Got It Done

FUT showed up ready to fight. They took the series 2-1 in a match that mattered. Elimination games bring out the best or worst in teams. FUT rose to the moment.

This win moves them into the 2-2 bracket. They're still alive. MOUZ is not.

What Went Wrong for MOUZ

MOUZ had higher expectations coming into this tournament. Finishing 12th-14th isn't what they wanted. Not even close.

Getting knocked out by FUT stings. The Turkish scene doesn't get a lot of respect on the international stage. Today, FUT took some.

What's Next

FUT keeps fighting in the 2-2 bracket. One more loss and they're done too. But they've already proven they can hang with bigger teams.

MOUZ goes back to the drawing board. This one hurts.
