The mass asymmetry dependence of the fission process in the fusion-lik
e deformation valley is studied within the framework of the generalize
d rotating liquid drop model taking into account the proximity and tem
perature effects. The Businaro-Gallone point is well reproduced. The r
otation as well as the thermal excitation favour the symmetric splitti
ng.
