xelex: "I’m sad we’re not playing against NAVI"
Adrian "xelex" Vincze opened up about MOUZ reaching the IEM Beijing 2026 final. The Hungarian player touched upon the challenges of playing in front of a crowd, his personal progress, and his wish to face NAVI in a high-stakes matchup.
Following MOUZ's 2:0 victory over BetBoom in the IEM Beijing 2026 semifinals, Adrian "xelex" Vincze admitted that transitioning from the group stage to the main stage presented significant challenges. The noise from the crowd made it difficult to process in-game audio, complicating his ability to track opponent movements.
xelex explained that during the first map, the arena atmosphere made it hard to distinguish between teammate footsteps and enemy executes on site A. However, he noted that it only took one map to adapt to the environment and find his rhythm.
Focus on Performance Under Pressure
While expressing satisfaction with his integration into MOUZ, xelex is focused on maintaining his peak performance during stage matches. He emphasized that while he feels comfortable within the roster, his priority is to avoid letting the team down when the pressure intensifies.
Regarding his tactical role, Adrian stated his readiness to play an aggressive role and entry-frag if the team's dynamics require it. He believes this flexibility, built on strong chemistry, provides MOUZ with more strategic options.
The Final Against The MongolZ
MOUZ is set to face The MongolZ in a best-of-five grand final at IEM Beijing 2026. While xelex praised The MongolZ for their unique and unpredictable playstyle, he admitted that a matchup against NAVI would have been a more enjoyable prospect for him.
