The Chinese lineup TYLOO closed the series against GamerLegion without chances in the opening Swiss round at FISSURE Playground 2. Two maps — and only 7 rounds taken by the Europeans: 13–3 on Inferno and 13–4 on Ancient. One of TYLOO’s most convincing victories in recent months and a loud wake-up call for GL.
FISSURE PLAYGROUND 2
A prestigious international LAN tournament that gathered both European and Asian teams. For TYLOO, this start is a chance to secure their place among the world’s top teams after a series of mixed results. GamerLegion, after the defeat, found themselves in a dangerous position: every next match could become a “do-or-die” game.
ROAD TO THE MATCH
TYLOO came into the clash after a series of unstable results: first a hard-fought win over Lynn Vision, then a loss to 3DMAX, and a tough three-map thriller against B8. However, the Chinese side managed to pull themselves together at the decisive moment and show confidence right at the start of the tournament.
GamerLegion, on the other hand, arrived at FISSURE Playground 2 after difficult matches against fnatic and Vitality, where they lost, and only the win over Virtus.pro lifted their morale slightly. But already in the opening Swiss match, GL once again ran into trouble and couldn’t put up a fight.
MATCH TIMELINE
Inferno — 13:3 (TYLOO’s pick)
TYLOO immediately took control. JamYoung and Moseyuh dominated on offense, Jee calmly closed out clutch rounds. 9:3 in the first half — and a quick finish after the side switch. GamerLegion looked lost.
Ancient — 13:4 (GamerLegion’s pick)
The Europeans tried to change the script on their own map pick, but the Chinese were ready for every move. Jee posted a monstrous 36–13, while JamYoung closed key moments. The result — 13:4 and a confident 2:0.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Although the whole TYLOO team looked convincing, the true hero of the series was Yi “JamYoung” Yang. His stats speak for themselves:
- K-D: 35–18 (+17)
- ADR: 114.8
- Rating 3.0: 1.75
- KAST: 87.9%
JamYoung once again proved why he is considered one of the most dangerous Chinese players. His clutch consistency, aggressive openings, and composure in key moments were decisive. Despite Jee also delivering a monstrous game (36–13), it was JamYoung who set the pace of the series and became the face of TYLOO’s victory.
TEAM PERFORMANCES
TYLOO looked like a well-oiled machine. JamYoung (35–18, rating 1.75) destroyed opponents in clutches and created space in every round. Jee (36–13, rating 1.74) was an unshakable pillar, calmly closing out important moments. Moseyuh (31–15, rating 1.75) kept the tempo, adding aggression and stability on offense. Mercury (17–20, rating 0.87) and Attacker (15–20, rating 0.85) didn’t always shine statistically but did huge work for the team — from controlling key areas to creating space for the stars of the lineup.
GamerLegion, on the contrary, looked disorganized. PR (21–25, rating 1.00) still tried to keep the level, and Tauson (21–24, rating 0.83) provided some moments on offense. However, ztr (13–29, rating 0.75), Kursy (16–28, rating 0.73), and REZ (15–28, rating 0.64) outright failed the game, unable to withstand the pressure. The Europeans critically lacked coordination and aggression in entry phases.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Before this match, GamerLegion held a 4–1 series advantage over TYLOO, including two overtime wins in ESL Pro League S21. Now the score has narrowed: the 2:0 victory for the Chinese breaks GL’s comfort in this matchup and proves that TYLOO can read the Europeans’ game on key maps.
TYLOO TAKE A STEP FORWARD
TYLOO secured a bright 2:0 at the start of Swiss and added ranking points, while GamerLegion received a worrying signal. If JamYoung maintains this form, the Chinese could well aim for playoffs, while GL will have to find answers in the upcoming matches.
