The MongolZ and FaZe Invited to FISSURE Playground 3

The organizers of FISSURE Playground 3 have announced the first eight teams invited to the tournament. The list includes The MongolZ, FaZe, PARIVISION, Legacy, BetBoom, MIBR, Alliance, and TYLOO.

The $1 million tournament will take place in Suzhou, China, and is set to begin on September 8, 2026. The September event was originally supposed to be called FISSURE Playground 5, but after the third and fourth events in the series were canceled due to logistical issues, the organizers changed the numbering. The tournament was also moved from Shenzhen to Suzhou, where it will be held in partnership with Chinese operator GGMEDIA.

Five of the first invited teams are currently in the top 15 of the latest HLTV ranking. The MongolZ and FaZe stand out in particular, as neither team received an invitation to BLAST Open Porto.

The current team list is:

• The MongolZ

• FaZe

• PARIVISION

• Legacy

• BetBoom

• MIBR

• Alliance

• TYLOO

A total of 16 teams will compete at FISSURE Playground 3. Seven more participants will receive invitations through the Valve Regional Standings, while the final spot will go to the winner of the Asian closed qualifier.

For Legacy and BetBoom, the schedule could become especially packed. Both teams will also play at BLAST Open Porto, which ends just two days before FPG 3 begins. If either of them reaches the final in Portugal, they will have only one day left to travel to China.
