TYLOO and 9z Crash Out of FISSURE Playground 3

FISSURE Playground 3 has claimed two more casualties in the group stage, with TYLOO and 9z both eliminated after back-to-back series losses. TYLOO fell 9-12th following a clean 2-0 sweep from Alliance, while 9z’s tournament ended in the backstage arena against a resurgent G2 side.

The Chinese roster had genuine chances on both maps. On Inferno, TYLOO took both pistol rounds and clawed their way to a 9-9 scoreline before the Swedes seized control in the decisive gun rounds. Qianhao “Moseyuh” Chen struggled badly throughout, finishing 4-18 on the K-D column, and his form deserted the team exactly when it mattered most.

Ancient told a far more brutal story. TYLOO again claimed both pistols and built an 11-3 lead, putting them on stage with a third map in sight. Then everything unraveled. Their T side, despite landing seven opening kills, failed to convert a single gun round as Alliance ripped off nine straight rounds to close out a 13-11 win and complete the 2-0 sweep in front of a stunned home crowd.

Alliance Punish a Costly TYLOO Collapse

Jonatan “bobeksde” Persson led the Swedish charge with a 1.46 rating across the series, backed by Sean “eraa” Knutsson at 1.18. On the Chinese side, Yi “JamYoung” Yang top-fragged with a 1.26 rating, but the roster’s collective inability to close out winning positions on both maps proved decisive. Moseyuh’s 0.70 rating stood out as the weak link in a squad that otherwise showed flashes of real quality.

G2 Overpower 9z to Stay in Playoff Contention

Backstage, G2 squared off against the South Americans with both teams desperate to rebound from opening-round defeats. 9z struck first on Dust2, taking both pistol rounds and building a commanding 12-6 lead before eventually sealing the map 13-11.

G2 answered on Ancient with a different gear entirely, racing to an 8-4 lead early and never relinquishing control. Maximiliano “max” Gonzalez produced a 4k for 9z, one of the few bright spots in an 8-13 defeat that leveled the series.

Inferno decided it, and the map choice mattered. G2 had shown some cracks against Astralis and Falcons earlier in the event, but their long-standing dominance on this map reasserted itself immediately. An 8-game win streak on Inferno carried over as they surged to a 12-3 lead, with Nikita “HeavyGod” Martynenko delivering repeated clutch plays in man-disadvantage situations to finish with a series-best 1.40 rating.

Statistical Standouts

• HeavyGod (G2): 1.40 rating, 90.8 ADR, 54 kills across the series against 9z.
• Guy “NertZ” Iluz (G2): 1.34 rating, 91.2 ADR, a near-equal share of the offensive load.
• Matias “HUASOPEEK” Ibañez Hernandez (9z): 1.19 rating, the lone consistent performer for the South Americans.
• bobeksde (Alliance): 1.46 rating, the top individual mark across both eliminated series.

What Comes Next

G2 now wait on the result between Astralis and 5star to learn their next opponent, with one of the final two playoff spots on the line. Alliance will face the winner of PARIVISION and magic for the other remaining slot.

Both TYLOO and 9z exit the event with clear takeaways: individual form and closing power in gun rounds separated them from advancing. TipsGG will continue tracking the bracket as FISSURE Playground 3 heads into its decisive rounds.
