FISSURE Playground 3 Results: Legacy Sweep G2 to Win the Title

Legacy won FISSURE Playground 3 on September 13, 2026, beating G2 3–0 in the CS2 grand final in Suzhou, China. They took Ancient 13–9, Mirage 13–10 and Dust2 13–4 to finish the best-of-five series without needing Inferno or Cache. HLTV’s final match page records the scores and individual statistics.

The sweep followed a much tighter semifinal: Legacy had needed overtime and a remarkable closing round to get past MIBR. Their title run combined that narrow escape with a final in which they won both of their own map picks and G2’s first choice.

Legacy vs G2: grand final map scores

Inferno and Cache were left unplayed. The match record confirms the map order and veto.

Ancient gave G2 their clearest opening. They recovered from 2–5 to lead 7–5 at halftime, then won the second pistol round for an 8–5 advantage. Legacy answered with a force-buy win and took control of the half, eventually closing their own pick 13–9.

Mirage put G2 under pressure early. Legacy built a 9–3 lead on the CT side of G2’s pick. G2 made the second half competitive, but the deficit left little room for mistakes, and Legacy secured a 13–10 win.

Dust2 was the emphatic finish. Legacy led 8–4 after their T half and won all five rounds after switching sides. The 13–4 result completed the sweep. These round sequences are documented in HLTV’s grand final report.

The MIBR semifinal was Legacy’s closest escape

Legacy finished the tournament unbeaten in series, with an 11–2 map record across five wins. Their opponents were magic, Alliance, FURIA, MIBR and G2, according to the complete event results.

MIBR came closest to ending that run. Legacy won Nuke 13–10, lost Ancient 11–13 and needed overtime on Inferno. The deciding map ended 16–14 after Legacy converted a two-versus-five situation, with n1ssim finding four kills in the final round. HLTV’s semifinal report details the finish.

That round matters when assessing the eventual 3–0. A clean grand final can make a title look inevitable in retrospect; Legacy had been one lost overtime round away from an extended semifinal only a day earlier.

In his post-final interview, latto credited the mental preparation led by BobZ, adrrr and arT, saying Legacy might have lost to MIBR without that work. It is the player’s explanation for how the team handled the pressure, and a useful piece of context for the turnaround between the two series.

Why latto won the MVP

Bruno “latto” Rebelatto’s numbers were strongest in the matches that decided the title. His HLTV Rating 3.0 was 1.31 across the tournament, 1.45 in the playoffs and 1.67 in the final, according to HLTV’s MVP announcement.

Those figures cover different, overlapping samples: the 1.67 was his final rating, not his average for the entire event.

Against G2, latto recorded 69 kills, 34 deaths and 102.9 average damage per round. On Dust2 alone, he went 24–8 with a 2.25 rating, giving Legacy their strongest individual performance on the map that sealed the trophy. The final statistics show how large his contribution was across the series.

Asked where the performance ranked in his career, latto told HLTV: “I think it's number one because it's a grand final.”

This was his third MVP award, with all three earned in China after CS Asia Championships 2025 and 2026. It was his second MVP of 2026.

G2’s recovery stopped in the final

G2 reached the title match after losing their opener to Astralis. They then won five consecutive series against BIG, 9z, 5star, FURIA and BETBOOM, as shown in the tournament results.

Their semifinal also required a comeback. BETBOOM won Mirage 13–7 before G2 took Anubis 16–13 in overtime and Ancient 13–7. HLTV’s semifinal coverage records NertZ leading G2 with a 1.33 rating.

NertZ was again G2’s highest-rated player in the final, finishing with a 1.23 rating and 107.7 ADR. Even that output could not produce a map win against Legacy. G2’s recovery through the bracket earned them second place; the final exposed the gap between the two teams on the day.

Final standings and prize-money breakdown

The 16-team event ran from September 8–13. HLTV’s final event listing records a $1 million total prize pool, divided into $450,000 for players and $550,000 for clubs.

The amounts below are the listed player prize allocations per team. They do not include the separate club share.

For Legacy, the result added a third title on Chinese soil after their two CS Asia Championships wins. The defining feature of this run was the range of performances it required: an overtime escape against MIBR, followed by a final in which G2 never took a map.
