In brief
- BETBOOM beat G2 2-1 in FISSURE Playground 3 semi-finals on September 12, 2026

- BETBOOM defeated MIBR, Astralis, and BIG during tournament run
A Statement Victory
A 13-7 scoreline on an opponent's pick isn't just a win. It's a demonstration of superior map control and read. BETBOOM's performance on Mirage against G2 underscored a team operating at a level few expected from an organization ranked approximately #16 entering the tournament.
The semi-final series itself reflected the gap that emerged between the two rosters. BETBOOM took down G2 with a 2-1 victory, with Boombl4, s1ren, zorte, and Magnojez executing under coach Fierce's direction. The roster composition proved cohesive across multiple map pools.
Dismantling Established Competition
BETBOOM's path to the semi-finals wasn't straightforward. The team posted victories over established organizations including MIBR, Astralis, and BIG during the tournament run. Each win accumulated credibility for a squad that entered Suzhou without elite seeding.
G2, by contrast, had looked sharp entering the semi-finals after dismantling FURIA 2-0 the day before, including a dominant 13-3 victory on Dust2. That dominance made the semi-final collapse more striking.
Tournament Structure and Stakes
The tournament ran from September 8-13 and featured a double-elimination format with other notable squads competing for a share of the $1 million prize pool. BETBOOM's advancement to the finals from the lower bracket—or direct progression depending on bracket placement—represented a significant result for a team that's typically underestimated in tier-one competition.
