Lynn Vision and Legacy are among the final wave of invites for the upcoming FISSURE Playground 2 Counter-Strike 2 event.

Alongside Lynn Vision and Legacy, HEROIC and PaiN Gaming have also accepted an invitation to the second FISSURE Playground event of the year. For Legacy, it will be the first time the South American side has competed at FISSURE Playground.

The trio of Lynn Vision, HEROIC, and PaiN Gaming will be making their second appearance at a FISSURE event, having competed at FISSURE Playground 1 earlier this year.

Legacy is the lowest-ranked team to receive an invitation from July’s Valve Regional Standings (VRS) at 21st. Notably, all 16 teams competing at FISSURE Playground 2 are within the top 32.

Taking place September 12th – 21st in Belgrade, Serbia, teams in attendance will compete for a share of the event’s $1.25m (~£924,436) prize pool, with $200,000 (~£147,909) going to the tournament winner.

Alongside the prize pool, VRS points are up for grabs as organisations look to secure a spot at the StarLadder Budapest Major in November.

Due to a busy CS2 tournament schedule, FISSURE Playground 2 clashes with StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2025, another event that uses July’s VRS to determine which teams are invited. As the focus turns towards the Major, organisations have had to select which events to prioritise.

  • The MongolZ

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
