Legacy's Latto Dominates FISSURE Playground 3 with MVP, Joins Elite EVP Winners

Legacy secured another trophy at FISSURE Playground 3 in China, with rifler Bruno "latto" Rebelatto claiming the MVP medal. The 23-year-old now has three MVP medals, all earned in China, and two Big Event EVPs, making 2026 a standout year for the Brazilian talent.

Rebelatto's performance in the grand final was decisive. He posted a 2.25 rating on Dust2, capping off an already stellar tournament run. Across playoffs, he maintained a 1.45 rating while posting 138 map wins and 1.05 eco-adjusted kills per round win. His consistency left no doubt about the MVP selection.

Beyond the trophy winner, six players earned Exceptional Value Player awards. Legacy's Vinicius "n1ssim" Pereira, who had benched himself in summer before returning to the lineup, earned an EVP despite having fewer resources than teammates. He posted a 1.20 rating and 83.3 ADR by the event's end, with strong peaks against G2, MIBR, and FURIA.

G2's NertZ marked his return to EVP contention after a gap since IEM Rio 2024. He averaged a 1.22 rating in playoffs with a 1.23 in the grand final and 107 ADR, while maintaining 84% of maps above a 1.00 rating. His consistency across all seven of G2's matches, with every map at or above 1.30 rating, demonstrated reliable output throughout the event.

MIBR's nqz earned his first EVP since Austin, finishing with a 1.21 rating and three player-of-the-map performances in playoffs at 1.25 rating. He topped the scoreboard in a third of MIBR's maps and posted a +13.5% swing in round wins, though the Inferno decider loss to Legacy came near the event's end.

G2's Nikita "HeavyGod" Martynenko secured his second EVP of the year after winning his first at the Cologne Major. He recorded nine maps above a 1.08 rating during G2's lower bracket run, with five player-of-the-map performances including a 1.71 rating against BETBOOM. His map win rating matched NertZ's at 1.30, though inconsistency on CT side held back his case further.

MIBR's insani rounded out the EVP list with a 1.33 rating in map wins and 1.09 KPRW en route to a top-four finish. His first EVP of 2026 came at CAC, and like Rebelatto, he is building a strong case for year-end rankings as MIBR develops their star player.

Players who narrowly missed EVP recognition included Legacy's Eduardo "dumau" Wolkmer and Santino "try" Rigal, who fell short in playoffs and map wins. BETBOOM's Kirill "Magnojez" Rodnov and Daniil "d1Ledez" Kustov topped their group but needed stronger semi-final performances. KSCERATO came close after standout maps but stumbled early and late in the event, while molodoy and others earned group stage recognition without reaching the EVP threshold.
