Legacy have clinched their place in the FISSURE Playground 3 grand final following an intense battle against MIBR that went the distance, concluding with an overtime showdown on Inferno.
The Australian roster will compete for the championship trophy on Sunday at 11:00, facing either BETBOOM or G2. Victory would mark another title triumph on Chinese territory, adding to their consecutive CS Asia Championship wins.
The series featured numerous instances where MIBR held significant numerical superiority but failed to capitalize. The decisive moment came when Vinicius "n1ssim" Pereira delivered a quad-kill in a desperate 2v5 situation on Inferno's B site, completing Legacy's remarkable comeback.
Nuke proved equally dramatic, with MIBR on the verge of victory before Legacy turned things around. Two improbable lower bombsite holds—a 2v5 at 7-9 and Andrei "arT" Piovezan's 1v2 clutch at 10-10—shifted momentum decisively.
MIBR showed resilience on Ancient after dropping a 4-9 first half, mounting a comeback driven by Lucas "nqz" Soares and Linus "LNZ" Holtäng's second-half performance.
Tomas "tomaszin" Corna delivered his finest individual map performance in MIBR colors on Inferno, dominating the A bombsite. However, his outstanding efforts couldn't prevent Legacy from executing their match-winning play on the opposite site.
