FISSURE Playground 3 shifts into its playoff phase in Suzhou, China, with a $1,000,000 prize pool and a champion's share of $300,000 on the line. BetBoom Team and Legacy locked up direct semifinal berths by winning their respective groups outright, and both sides now wait for the quarterfinal winners to arrive.
Two best-of-three matches on September 11 will decide who joins them: FURIA against G2 Esports, and MIBR against Alliance. Track the live CS2 scores as both series unfold, since either quarterfinal could swing the entire path to the final.
Lock in your Playoffs picks on GoCore before the Quarterfinals begin, since getting these calls right early sets up the rest of your Pick'ems run through the weekend.
FURIA enter their quarterfinal after a rough group stage finish, dropping 2-0 to Legacy before beating PARIVISION to survive the lower bracket.
Their recent head to head history against G2 favors them heavily, with wins in four of their last five meetings across EWC 2026, the StarLadder Budapest Major, and FISSURE Playground 2. G2 took the longer road to get here too, recovering from an opening loss to Astralis with wins over BIG, 9z, and 5star to punch their ticket.
Furia's map pool depth and tournament pedigree make them the pick to advance, though G2's momentum from three straight lower bracket wins keeps this from being a lock.
MIBR face a similar test against Alliance after their own group stage stumble, a 2-0 loss to BetBoom Team that sent them into the lower bracket. MIBR responded by beating The MongolZ and 9z to reach the quarterfinals, while Alliance strung together three 2-0 results over FaZe, TYLOO, and magic with only a loss to Legacy interrupting the run.
MIBR's LAN experience and individual firepower should be enough to close this one out, giving Furia and Mibr the two quarterfinal wins heading into Saturday's semifinals.
The CS2 predictions get more interesting once the bracket reaches Saturday's semifinals. Furia's quarterfinal win sets up a rematch angle against BetBoom Team, a side that dismantled MIBR 2-0 in the group stage without dropping a map. Furia's firepower through YEKINDAR and KSCERATO gives them the tools to close that gap, and the pick here is Furia to advance past BetBoom into the grand final.
On the other side, Legacy carries the form of the tournament into their semifinal against Mibr, having swept both FURIA and Alliance in group play without much resistance. Legacy's calling through arT has been sharp enough to expect the same result here, sending them past Mibr and into a Furia versus Legacy grand final on Sunday.
FISSURE Playground 3 wraps its best-of-five grand final on September 13, alongside a third place match for the two semifinal losers. The result carries weight beyond Suzhou too, since it sets the tone heading into the next stretch of CS2 upcoming tournaments. StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 begins September 17 in Barcelona, and however this bracket resolves will shape how bettors and fans view the current form of Brazil's top two rosters against the rest of the field.
Whichever way the semifinals break, the FISSURE Playground 3 final promises a legitimate title fight between two of the tournament's most consistent performers.
