A total prize pool of $2,250,000 is up for grabs across FISSURE's events.

FISSURE are the organizer behind BetBoom Dacha events

Tournament organize FISSURE has informed HLTV that they will host two LAN tournaments in 2025, which will be held in July and September in Belgrade, Serbia. The events will feature a total prize pool of $2,250,000.

With this announcement FISSURE, who organized all of the BetBoom Dacha events, has entered the fray in what promises to be a packed 2025 calendar. Thus far only ESL has an event scheduled for July 2025, but BLAST, StarLadder, ESL and Skyesports all have events planned for September 2025.

Valve to end team and tournament organizer partnerships starting in 2025

Each of FISSURE's tournaments will consist of 16 teams, invited based on the Valve Regional Standings, and will consist of a play-in and main event. The play-in portions of the events will be played online, whilst the main event will be played on LAN.

For the tournament in July, the play-in will see 16 teams split into four GSL-style BO3 groups, with the top two teams in each group proceeding to the main event. The main event will feature a single-elimination BO3 bracket, with the grand finals being BO5. $1,000,000 has been set aside for the prize pool, with $400,000 of that going to the winner.

July Edition:

Location: Belgrade, Serbia
No. of teams: 16
Play-in format (online): GSL-style groups
Main event format (LAN): Single-elimination BO3, BO5 grand final
Prize pool: $1,000,000

The September edition will utilize a BO3 Swiss system for the online play-in, with the top eight teams proceeding to the LAN main event. Single-elimination BO3 play will take over for the main event, with the grand final once again being BO5. The prize pool for this event will be $1,250,000, of which $450,000 is set aside for the winner.

September Edition:

Location: Belgrade, Serbia
No. of teams: 16

Main event format (LAN): Single-elimination BO3, BO5 grand final

Not exactly how it works with betting. In betting if someones loses - someone gains, in casinos you just lose and house takes your money But betting operators take commisions, should be like 20% of all bets if "even" odds are considered 1.8 instead of 2.0 (which would imply equal amount of money on both teams and giving everything to the winner, not happening though, 20% are lost in the process)

Yea so you mentioned it urself, commission.. they always take their cut :) so tldr im right, house always wins.

I mean, house doesn't even play in this case, that's like entry fee to the venue or something

2024-09-01 13:31

+1 gambling is haram

2024-09-02 14:32

they earn a fuck ton off of low iq imbeciles with 0 accountability who bet/gamble their money away. if you look in twitch chat at these games and most other 'less relevant' tournaments you'll see it's full of bettors in chat, some of them going full schizo with "pause mafia"/"322"/"scripted game"/etcetc. I'm not saying there aren't scripted games in lesser tiers, but VP vs Falcons for the last spot in Rio is probably not it

2024-09-01 10:18

bro what we gon see in 2025💀

2024-09-01 00:16

103

At least 24 big tournaments

2024-09-01 01:58

non stop LAN CS all year long

2024-09-01 04:55

and some people are still saying cs is dying

the problem is if we just say bookies are not allowed to be major sponsors all these crap tournaments will be canceled in a second so yes cs is dying, viewership will drop significantly

2024-09-01 11:33

hltv.org/news/39651/iem-cologne-2024-rea.. so far i don't think viewrship will fall

2024-09-01 11:36

it's 2024, i'm talking 2025 and beyond when there will be one crappy tournament after another and so on

2024-09-01 11:56

I feel like it's going to be a shit show, there will be too many LAN's in the calendar and the quality of them will drop since they won't be attended by many t1 teams at once

2024-09-01 10:20

Other one mickey mouse event again?

The money is pretty impressive to call it mickey mouse, mate.

2024-09-01 01:25

well money everywhere than top tier events lol

2024-09-01 01:37

8 tournaments with 1M+ prize poll and 2 of them are BetBoom Dacha. If so-called "top teams" don't want to try to win some good money, well, more opportunities for young, hungry teams is always good anyway.

2024-09-01 01:40

*At least 8 tournaments with 1M+ prize poll If ESL are anything to go by this will be at least 10 (11 if counting EWC), plus we don't know StarLadder, YaLLa as well as BLAST Open and Rivals

2024-09-01 02:25

Forgot about ESL, yeah.

2024-09-01 03:01

2 events with price money like cologne/katowice/majors just like that lol

2024-09-01 00:19

Lets not forget they just came outta nowhere lol. Isnt this year their first entrance as TO?? who's their big sponsor i wonder, shitloads of money foreal😂

2024-09-01 08:09

Wouldn't say "they just came outta nowhere", iirc they have been hosting some tier2 events before (but I might be wrong).

2024-09-01 11:35

Rly? Which?

2024-09-01 13:35

is it even worth to spend so much money as not many people actually watch these kind of tournaments?

Do you really think they throw twice more money just like that without any calculations?

2024-09-01 01:50

idk it is just too weird for me

2024-09-01 02:08

If they are laundering money then yes

2024-09-01 02:49

Either TOs think CS2 is going to explode in popularity or they are just advertising for betting sites.

2024-09-01 03:28

The latter :)

It's a way to attract top teams.

2024-09-01 05:44

it's a gambling site. Gambling sites are literally printing money, they don't care about this. And they probably earn this all back with new people signing up and playing on their site.

2024-09-01 13:58

Looks like every TO has found a way to bypass the open/closed qualifier rule. The play-ins are basically the qualifiers now.

At this point ESL only would keep kato and cologne

2024-09-01 00:20

We do not care

2024-09-01 00:26

I do

2024-09-01 16:47

belgrade is unironically gonna have the most tier 1 events in 2025

But mostly no crowds

2024-09-01 05:03

started at zero now we're at one a major eventually is inevitable

2024-09-01 14:01

fissure's worse than pgl - their observers are the main issue

Serbia 😎

2024-09-01 00:27

their best invitation will be Sangal considering how many tournaments there are already in 2025

2024-09-01 00:29

So this takes us to 31 S/A-Tier Tournaments for 2025. Wtf Edit: 30 not 31

2024-09-01 00:35

Even more cs ... just what we wanted!!!

2024-09-01 00:32

there's no way, with so many high prize money tournaments some tournament organizers will just not survive, right????

2024-09-01 00:37

You really don't wanna know how much money the bookies got..betboom, 1win, every each of them

2024-09-01 02:04

And who makes them rich?? Thats right 😂 people like u and me the bettors

2024-09-01 08:10

Yeah that's how capitalism is. The weakest will fold and the strongest will survive. Valve wants this to happen.

2024-09-01 04:27

Bro 2025 gonna be crazy. 2.25m just for some tier 1.5 tournaments. Bur i think that there is going to be to many tournaments and the top teams will skip many of them leading to lower teams having bigger chances. Like 1.25m for one tournament is crazy. Thats major prizepool now imagine team like heroic to win it

Finally they'll be able to invite betboom to main event just for them to bomb out instantly.

2024-09-01 00:38

how are these organizers even getting this much money

2024-09-01 00:47

betboom fund these events, they are rich betting site

2024-09-01 00:51

2024-09-01 00:53

gambling site, i cant imagine how much money they have

2024-09-01 04:06

every tier 1 tournament is sponsored by fucking bookies company

2024-09-01 11:34

Lmao. No one cares.

2024-09-01 00:52

so many tournaments

I dont understand people complaining about this, you dont *have* to watch tourneys you dont care about, im already not watching betboom dacha. im not gonna watch these either, but its still cool with more lans and maybe if the team list is interesting enough and we get some new faces I will change my mind, but we already have tons of CS at the same time, 1000 constant online cups going on, you can just ignore them, and when sometimes theres a cool match you watch it. Teams will pick and choose the bigger tourneys, I imagine this will have 1 or 2 top teams and some others that get a chance at some money and lan matches, thats pretty cool. My point being that I dont think things will be much different, just that top 30-20 teams will play more lans instead of only online, and top 15 teams will pick and choose T1 lans to play so you can just watch the ones that have a lot of them if you dont want too much CS going on. Its basically like the online thunderpick cups being made lans instead

2024-09-01 00:59

rigged ass mickey mouse tournaments, russian teams are too bad to win actual tournaments so they have to make their own

2024-09-01 04:56

I need an update event schedule for 24 and 25 shit is going be so packed

2024-09-01 05:46

So teams are going to dodge the more prestigious but less paying events to play in these tournaments. Surely that's going to happen.

2024-09-01 08:35

Well, it's possible (or even likely) the $250k IEMs get an increase in prize money as well.

2024-09-01 13:01

Betting sites be makin $2m+ price tournaments while bettors blaming the teams for the $20 they lost

2024-09-01 08:36

Wasted time in calendar type of event.

2024-09-01 10:35

W I have watched all their streams. Positive: They have a pretty nice UI, good replays, and great stream talents. Negative: Their observer was not enough good. Good luck on 2025

2024-09-01 10:43

it's good that more and more tournaments are being organized in Serbia, because there are a lot of talented players there and the popularity of CS2 has dropped a lot in that region, and with this I think that Cs2 will be at the top in that region again!
