FISSURE Playground 2 playoff bracket set

G2 and The MongolZ will face off in the quarter-finals.

FISSURE Playground 2 is headed to the playoffs after the conclusion of the Swiss group stage, which saw Liquid, Astralis, and paiN prevail in the final matchups to book their tickets to the Belgrade Arena.

The MongolZ and G2 will lock horns in the first quarter-final on Friday, with Nemanja "⁠huNter-⁠" Kovač's troops looking for revenge against the team that eliminated them in the 2-2 pool at the BLAST.tv Austin Major.

Both teams advanced through the group stage with 3-1 records and will be on the hunt for their second trophies of the season, the former winning Esports World Cup and the latter looking to go back-to-back after lifting the trophy at BLAST London two weeks ago.

Aurora will face Liquid for the first time since IEM Dallas in May and the fourth time this year. The Turks swept the last two outings and will be looking to add a third win to that tally, while Liquid will head into the arena with some pressure alleviated after entering Major invite contention with valuable VRS points in the group stage.

Astralis will take the stage for the first time with Emil "⁠Magisk⁠" Reif back in the fold, hoping that the change will result in a better showing against FURIA than they had in a miserable loss at IEM Cologne with Martin "⁠stavn⁠" Lund.

The day will end with Falcons facing paiN, a match where the Brazilians will have the odds against them versus a team boasting a 1.29 average rating in Belgrade and housing four of the top-seven players at the event (including all of the top three).
