5star Player rate Discusses Major Upsets at FISSURE Playground 3

Tengis "rate" Boldbaatar admitted that even he was surprised when his team managed to secure major victories against Astralis and The MongolZ during FISSURE Playground 3 in China. Although 5star ultimately did not advance to the playoffs, the roster delivered two of the biggest upsets of the tournament by eliminating both prominent teams during the group stage.

Reflecting on the unexpected wins, rate noted that opponents may have underestimated them. They thought it was a bad team and that 5star would be easy, but the squad played their own game and successfully surprised their opponents. The run served as a massive confidence boost for the roster, especially as this tournament marked their first S-tier event appearance.

Looking ahead, 5star hopes to travel to Europe for a bootcamp to help them develop further. Because they are based in a remote region in Asia, they feel they cannot regularly play against top-tier European teams locally. With their recent ranking improvements and the increased visibility gained from the tournament, the team aims to build on this momentum to earn a spot at the Major.
