Our FISSURE Autumn 2025 preview covers all the key details, so learn about your Esports betting options now at Parimatch Sportsbook.
If you’re new to Esports betting, FISSURE is a rapidly growing tournament organiser known for hosting Counter-Strike 2 events under the acclaimed Playground series.
Counter-Strike 2 is a free-to-play, tactical team-based shooter where two teams, Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists, compete in objective-based game modes. First released in September 2023 by Valve Corporation, CS2 officially replaced CSGO in the professional scene, becoming the new standard for major tournaments.
Throughout the year, the world’s best Esports teams, such as FaZe Clan, G2 Esports and Team Liquid, battle it out in tournaments like the FISSURE events, all building toward the CS2 Majors, held twice a year.
For the second time in 2025, FISSURE Playground returns to Serbia, following the success of FISSURE Playground 1 held in July.
The follow-up CS2 event, FISSURE Autumn, is scheduled for September 12th—21st. The group stage will be played online, and the playoffs will be hosted live at the Belgrade Arena. This will mark the largest CS2 event ever held in the Balkans.
If you want to watch the FISSURE Autumn 2025 live online, all the action will be live-streamed on YouTube and Twitch on FISSURE’s official channel.
FISSURE Autumn 2025 features sixteen teams announced in three separate waves: the First Wave, the Second Wave, and the Final Four.
Here’s who will be participating at Belgrade this September:
First Wave:
All 16 teams invited to the FISSURE Autumn 2025 in Belgrade will head into the group stage, where they’ll compete in a Swiss system, where teams will be matched against other competitors with a similar win-loss record.
Each match in the group stage is best-of-three. Once the group stage is over, eight teams that survive the Swiss format will advance to the Playoffs.
The Playoffs, commencing on September 19th, are a single-elimination bracket, with the quarterfinals and semi-finals being best-of-three.
The final two teams will then head into the Grand Final on September 21st. They will compete in the only best-of-five contest in the tournament, which will decide who goes home with the largest chunk of the $500,000 prize pool.
The FISSURE Autumn 2025 will award $500,000 in prize money, with the top team taking home $200,000. All 16 teams will receive a piece of the prize pool, which is determined by their final placement in the tournament.
Below are the details of how the prize money will be shared amongst teams depending on their performance in Belgrade:
Position | Prize Money |
1st Place | $200,000 |
2nd Place | $100,000 |
3rd– 4th Place | $40,000 |
5th – 8th Place | $17,500 |
9th – 11th Place | $10,000 |
12th – 14th Place | $5,000 |
15th – 16th Place | $2,500 |
With all teams confirmed for the FISSURE Autumn 2025, there is still no clear frontrunner to take first place. However, based on recent performances and team histories, several contenders stand out and are worth considering if you’re placing a bet on the event at Parimatch.
TYLOO, the defending champions of Playground 1, are a team to watch. They’ve already proved they can perform under this format and in similar conditions. If they maintain their current form, they’ll be a serious threat at FISSURE Autumn 2025.
With their big-name pedigree and wealth of experience, FaZe Clan are also likely to be in the conversation as potential winners of FISSURE Autumn 2025. FaZe Clan field players who can carry big moments and often perform well in high-stakes matches, making them a team with potential to go far in this tournament.
Another standout is The MongolZ, who have been steadily rising in recent LANs and Valve Regional Standings (VRS). Having reached the finals of several major events, they’ve demonstrated consistency under pressure and are widely favoured to take home the $200,000 first-place prize.
If you're looking for a potential dark horse, FURIA could be the wildcard. Their aggressive playstyle can catch opponents off guard, and if they gain early momentum, they have the potential to pull off major upsets.
