The International 2025 is almost here, but before the spotlight turns fully to Germany, one last event remains, FISSURE Universe Episode 6.
With TI just around the corner, teams are finalizing their preparations. Before they step onto the grand stage, however, they’ll get one final test. FISSURE Universe Episode 6 will feature 10 teams, with eight of these bound for The International 2025, competing in what could be seen as a warm-up event.
FISSURE Universe Episode 6: The final stop on the road to TI
From August 19th to 24th, the competition will unfold entirely online. With eight of the ten squads shaping up to take on the prestige of TI, FISSURE Universe Episode 6 is set to be a great testing ground for new strategies. The full list of teams heading to the event is:
- Team Liquid
- PARIVISION
- Team Spirit
- Aurora Gaming
- BetBoom Team
- Team Tidebound
- Gaimin Gladiators
- Team Falcons
- Virtus.pro
- AVULUS
The tournament will see the teams split into two groups of five, and they will play a round-robin format with best-of-two matches. The top team from each group will advance straight to the upper bracket of the playoffs. The second and third-place teams will drop into the lower bracket. Four teams will see their journey end in the group stage, raising the stakes from the very first match.
Although FISSURE has yet to announce the group placements, we expect them revealed in the coming days. They will stream all matches live on the official FISSURE Kick channel for English audiences.
