Despite the fact that FISSURE Universe Episode 4 is entirely held online, the tournament boasts an impressive prize pool of half a million dollars. The fact that teams don't need to travel anywhere also plays a positive role, especially since, starting in April, some players will have to make two transatlantic flights: one for the tournament in Raleigh and another to Bucharest.

After such an introduction, let’s take a look at the format, which is typical for recent tournaments: 16 teams, a Swiss system, and a playoff with the top 8 teams. The first three rounds have already been completed, meaning we know the names of the first two teams to make it into the playoffs. They are Team Spirit and Tundra Esports. These teams continue to remain at the top, so it’s no surprise that they won with a 3-0 score.

As a potential disappointment, we note Aurora Gaming's 1-2 performance. The new, strong roster from Eastern Europe has not yet managed to find its rhythm and is facing difficulties. Their next match will be against Talon.

FISSURE Universe Episode 4 will continue throughout this week, and on Sunday, we’ll find out who the champion will be.
