Fissure Playground 2 lands in Belgrade with 16 teams chasing a $1,250,000 prize pool in one of the year’s most unpredictable tournaments. The Swiss format into single-elimination playoffs means every win counts double, every loss stings harder, and the grand final will be a brutal best-of-five.
G2 arrive as the hunted after their BLAST London victory, but the spotlight is wide: Falcons look ready for a breakout, Astralis revive old magic with Magisk back alongside device, and the The Mongols carry World Cup momentum. Liquid and FURIA’s rivalry writes another chapter, Legacy and VP search for redemption, and Aurora, Heroic, and 3DMAX lurk as dangerous wild cards.
Coach Peacemaker ranks the field across tiers, from no-hopers to true title threats, and highlights the matchups and players that could flip the bracket. His bold call? Falcons have the firepower and experience to stun G2 and lift the trophy in Belgrade. Whether they deliver or not, one thing is clear: the Playground is wide open, and the fight to the top will be ruthless.
