Legacy Reach FISSURE Playground 3 Semi-Finals Following Win Over FURIA

Legacy have advanced directly to the FISSURE Playground 3 semi-finals after defeating FURIA in the Group B upper bracket final. Following the match, Vinicius n1ssim Pereira spoke with HLTV about the victory, playing alongside AWPer Santino try Rigal, and his own mid-season benching and subsequent return to the active roster.

Reflecting on his teammate, n1ssim praised the addition of try to the squad. He noted that try brings solid work to the AWP role, complemented by strong game sense and mid calls. The team believes they are performing well in the tournament, despite describing the competition level as tier two or three.

Discussing his time on the bench earlier in the year, n1ssim explained that he benched himself while expecting roster changes that ultimately did not happen. After receiving offers that he considered unsatisfactory, the Legacy CEO invited him to return. With nothing else going on at home, he accepted. He noted that stepping away and coming back gave him a refreshed mindset about his gameplay, allowing him to better assist the squad.

When asked about regional rivalries, n1ssim stated that he does not care about being the top team in the Americas or Brazil. His primary aspiration is for Legacy to be the best team in the world. The roster also discussed their continued success in China, where they previously won two events. Although uncertain whether it stems from the crowd or hotel rooms, the players acknowledged their ongoing positive results in the region.
