Team Falcons wins FISSURE Playground 2

The International 2025 champions, Team Falcons, got off to a flying start at FISSURE Playground 2's group stage, topping the leaderboard with a 3-0 score, alongside Team Spirit. We also saw some upsets occur, with underdogs Team Yandex smashing favorites to go 3-1, while the likes of Aurora Gaming, PARIVISION, and Vici Gaming couldn't even make it to the Playoffs Stage.

In the double-elimination Playoffs Stage, MOUZ shocked Team Falcons with a 2-0 win, sending them to the lower bracket. In the lower bracket, however, Team Falcons flourished.

Team Falcons beat Tundra Esports (2-1) and Team Spirit (2-1), then reverse-swept Team Liquid (2-1) and eliminated Team Yandex (2-0) to claim a spot in the Grand Final.

In the Upper Bracket, BetBoom Team pulled off a reverse-sweep against Team Liquid (2-1), then beat Team Spirit (2-1) and Team Yandex (2-1) for a spot in the Grand Final.

BetBoom Team won the first game of the best-of-five Grand Final, but Team Falcons proved unstoppable. Team Falcons won the next three games in a row to close out the series 3-1, and lift the FISSURE Playground 2 trophy. Congratulations!
