TyLoo: The Rising Asian Team in CS:GO
TyLoo is surprising everyone with their performance in the CS:GO scene. We never expected a team from China to become a top-tier team. Similar to how KaBuM shocked us from Brazil, TyLoo is doing the same for Asia. This is like the best Mexican team, Team Quetzal, making it into the top 10. TyLoo’s success is even more surprising than Luminosity.
The Rise of TyLoo in China
Out of all the organizations in China, it had to be TyLoo that rose to the top in CS:GO. They were the team to beat in the 1.6 era. Despite major organizations like EHOME, LGD, and Vici (who own CyberZen) joining the CS:GO scene, TyLoo had a plan from the start.
Team Dynamic and Playing Style
Fancy1 is the star player of TyLoo, followed closely by AttackeR. Mo is the team’s AWPer, but TyLoo predominantly uses rifles, unlike most teams. Their performance at Malmö fell short compared to their usual game, but it’s important to note that their impact on the game goes beyond kills. Their teamplay and coordination make up for any statistical shortcomings.
TyLoo has an unusual play style, characterized by aggression and relying on the skill of their players. They take deep positions on maps like Inferno and rush towards Garage on Cache. This unique approach has proven successful against top teams like Luminosity. It’s not just a gimmick; TyLoo is a respectable up-and-coming team.
The Loss to Na’Vi
TyLoo’s loss to Na’Vi in the quarterfinals of Dreamhack Malmö was unexpected. However, it wasn’t due to a lack of effort or choking. Na’Vi was able to play around TyLoo’s aggressive positioning, finding a way to circumvent their playstyle. This series should be celebrated as a testament to Na’Vi’s strategic prowess, rather than a knock against TyLoo.
The Bright Future of TyLoo
Although TyLoo didn’t achieve the desired result at Malmö, their journey is far from over. They have already shocked top teams and showcased their unique defensive strategies. Other teams are taking notice and studying TyLoo’s gameplay. This “failure” is just the beginning, and TyLoo has a lot more to offer the CS:GO establishment. We can expect to see even more from Asian Counter-Strike in the coming months.
