После победы в турнире прошлого года FURIA начала выступление на FISSURE Playground 3 с напряженного матча против GamerLegion, завершившегося со счетом 2-1. Несмотря на 17-часовой перелет из Португалии, который отразился на игровом темпе команды в начале серии, состав под руководством тренера sidde смог переломить ход событий, успешно закрыв карту Dust2 после поражения на первой карте.
Лучшим игроком матча в составе FURIA стал снайпер molodoy, показавший высокий рейтинг 1.46. Следующим соперником команды станет коллектив PARIVISION, встреча с которым 9 сентября определит участника стадии плей-офф.
