Legacy have secured their spot in the FISSURE Playground 3 semi-finals after defeating FURIA in the Group B upper bracket final. Following the victory, Vinicius "n1ssim" Pereira shared insights about his team's performance and recent roster changes.
When asked about Legacy's new AWPer Santino "try" Rigal, n1ssim was full of praise. He highlighted try's exceptional game sense and mid-round calling abilities, stating that the AWPer brings solid work to the team's playstyle.
The Brazilian rifler also opened up about his mid-season benching earlier this year. He revealed that he benched himself while expecting roster changes that never materialized. After receiving offers that didn't meet his expectations, Legacy's CEO invited him back, and n1ssim returned with a fresh perspective on his gameplay.
Regarding Legacy's impressive track record in China, where they've won the CS Asia Championships in both 2025 and 2026, n1ssim admitted he's unsure what makes them so successful there. Whether it's the crowd, hotel rooms, or something else entirely, the "China luck" remains a mystery even to the players themselves.
Despite defeating FURIA twice this year, n1ssim made it clear that his ambitions extend beyond regional rivalries. He emphasized that he doesn't care about being the top Americas or Brazilian team—his goal is simply to be number one in the world.
Looking ahead to potential grand final opponents, n1ssim mentioned G2 and FURIA as the toughest challenges, though he admitted jet lag has kept him sleeping most of the time since arriving in China.
