FISSURE has been working with China for many years, and what I appreciate most is that during this time we have managed to make real friends here. We have known the GGMEDIA team for a long time, and it is very important for us that this friendship has grown into a major strategic partnership. I also want to directly address the issue of our obligations to the teams from past tournaments. We have not forgotten about them, and thanks to this partnership, payments have already begun. We plan to pay off a significant portion of the debt before the start of the tournament, and pay the remaining amount in stages. Our goal is to completely close this issue as soon as possible. We will continue to look for ways to speed up this process. We are in direct contact with the teams and will also communicate key updates publicly. Our reputation is the most valuable thing we have.

Earlier, a rumor appeared on the Internet that FISSURE had arrears in paying prize money to participants in CS2 championships. 15 teams did not receive payments, including Team Falcons, G2 Esports and Astralis. In March, TO canceled several tournaments.

On August 2, FISSURE announced FISSURE PLAYGROUND 3, which will take place in China. FISSURE's partner will be the Chinese company GGMEDIA. The venue will be the SND Cultural & Sports Center in Suzhou.
