Look Sports Media – The Fissure Playground 2 Playoffs are set after a dramatic Group Stage that saw shocking eliminations and unexpected triumphs. Aurora Gaming and Team Falcons emerged as the top seeds, but the road to the title is far from clear. The reigning Fissure Playground 1 champions, TYLOO, suffered a stunning early exit, failing to build on their initial victory and ultimately finishing with a disappointing 1-3 record.
All eight playoff teams have been confirmed, showcasing a diverse range of talent and competitive spirit. The Quarterfinals, kicking off September 19th, promise intense matchups. Aurora Gaming will face a rematch against Team Liquid, a rivalry marked by a 2-2 head-to-head record in 2025. G2 Esports, fresh off their BLAST London victory over Team Vitality, will clash with MongolZ, while Astralis, boosted by the return of Emil "Magisk" Reif, will test their mettle against FURIA. Finally, paiN Gaming will face the formidable Team Falcons, whose impressive 3-0 Group Stage performance, spearheaded by rising star Maksim "kyousuke" Lukin, has solidified them as major contenders. Their success has even made them favorites on many Counter-Strike betting sites.
Twistzz Transfer in Jeopardy?

Team Liquid’s playoff qualification adds a significant wrinkle to the anticipated transfer of Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken to FaZe Clan. Liquid’s victory over a struggling FaZe squad creates a scheduling conflict, particularly concerning the upcoming Starladder Budapest Major. As highlighted by @MischiefCS2, Team Liquid’s playoff run could force them to skip other tournaments to maintain their VRS points, potentially delaying or even jeopardizing Twistzz’s move to FaZe. The situation hinges on Liquid’s roster plans and whether they intend to replace Twistzz with a North American player. FaZe, naturally, would prefer to have Twistzz for the Major, given his recent dominant performance against them.
Playoff Schedule and Stakes:
The Fissure Playground 2 Playoffs commence September 19th with the Quarterfinals. The Semifinals follow on September 20th, leading to the Grand Final on September 21st, where two teams will battle for the lion’s share of the $500,000 USD prize pool. However, beyond the prize money, valuable VRS points are at stake, crucial for securing a coveted spot in the Starladder Budapest Major.
