<\/p>\nThe French team 3DMAX produced one of the biggest upsets of the second lower-bracket round at IEM Cologne 2025, defeating TYLOO 2\u20130 and advancing to Stage 2. For 3DMAX, this wasn\u2019t just a victory \u2014 it was a symbolic revenge for four straight losses to TYLOO in previous meetings, including painful defeats at FISSURE Playground 1 and ESL Pro League.<\/p>\n

Inferno (22:20)<\/strong><\/p>\n TYLOO picked their beloved Inferno, a map where they had repeatedly bested the French squad, but this time 3DMAX rewrote history. The fierce battle dragged into overtime, where Lucky and bodyy took control, and the French team closed the map 22:20, snatching victory right out of the Chinese team\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n Ancient (13:10)<\/strong><\/p>\n On the second map, 3DMAX took full initiative. Despite brief bursts of aggression from JamYoung and Jee, the French side controlled the game. Lucky kept dominating, while Ex3rcice brought the needed firepower to shut down Ancient and seal the series 2\u20130.<\/p>\n 3DMAX continue to show growing stability, winning three of their last five matches. Before today, they had beaten MIBR, paiN, and Rare Atom, with only losses to NiP and a recent defeat to TYLOO leaving a bitter aftertaste. The team is steadily restoring France\u2019s name on the top tier, and this match was proof that 3DMAX can finally take down their long-time \u201ctormentors.\u201d<\/p>\n The Chinese team, which recently shocked the scene with wins over Astralis (3:1 in the FISSURE Playground 1 final) and SAW, looked far less convincing in Cologne. Although they\u2019ve won four of their last five series, their loss to Virtus.pro and today\u2019s defeat raise questions about the lineup\u2019s consistency.<\/p>\n This win carries a special meaning for 3DMAX. Before this match, TYLOO had beaten them in all two<\/span> previous encounters \u2014 one in ESL Pro League and one in FISSURE Playground 1 (including painful 7\u201313 and 9\u201313 scorelines). Today, the French squad broke that curse, doing it convincingly, without dropping a single map, and crushing TYLOO on their Inferno pick.<\/p>\n 3DMAX march on to Stage 2 of IEM Cologne 2025, proving that their victories over Brazilian and Asian teams are no fluke. TYLOO, meanwhile, head home \u2014 realizing that after their loud triumph in Belgrade, they still can\u2019t maintain a consistently high level of play on the world stage.<\/p>\n Today\u2019s match wasn\u2019t just a 2\u20130 scoreline \u2014 it\u2019s a story of how 3DMAX finally settled old scores with TYLOO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The French team 3DMAX produced one of the biggest upsets of the second lower-bracket round at IEM Cologne 2025, defeating TYLOO 2\u20130 and advancing to Stage 2.
