The fantasy competition for FISSURE Playground 3 is officially launching, offering players exciting opportunities to build their dream teams and compete for valuable prizes.
Polish player Jakub "jcobbb" Pietruszewski has become the standout choice in the fantasy draft, appearing on over 40% of all teams at a price point of $195,000. His popularity stems from a significant ratings improvement over recent months, while his price remains relatively low due to earlier performance struggles, making him an attractive bargain pick.
The tournament features two eight-team double-elimination groups, followed by a six-team single-elimination playoff bracket. Quarter-finals and semi-finals will be best-of-three series, while the grand final extends to best-of-five. Teams reaching upper finals receive strategic advantages, with upper bracket winners advancing directly to semi-finals.
Participants should note that the best-of-five grand final awards 25% more rating points compared to standard best-of-three matches. The third-place match will not be included in fantasy scoring as it won't appear on HLTV.
Hellcase is sponsoring the prize pool, with first place receiving Shadow Daggers | Tiger Tooth (Factory New), second place earning AK-47 | Asiimov (Minimal Wear), and third place getting AWP | Redline (Field-Tested). Additional prizes include M4A4 | The Battlestar for fourth place and Desert Eagle | Mecha Industries for places five through ten.
Simultaneously, fantasy competitions for PGL Masters Bucharest 2026 qualifiers in Europe and South America are also running, featuring eight-team double-elimination brackets with all best-of-three matches and separate Hellcase-sponsored prize pools.
