Map 1: Inferno; Pick: TYLOO; Winner: TYLOO
Rocky start to Inferno saw Falcons play from the back foot in the game before TYLOO managed to stabilise and close the half with an early lead. As the Falcons continued to struggle, TYLOO’s offence secured an 8-4 lead before switching to their defence. Falcons, having secured an early lead, chased TYLOO, but the Chinese side won the final three rounds while Falcons fumbled from map point to force OT. Winning their first round, the Falcons dropped the ball, leading to TYLOO securing the following rounds and taking a stunning win to close out the first map. 26 kills from the veteran JamYoung saw them secure a historic win to kick off the series.
Map 2: Ancient; Pick: Falcons; Winner: Falcons
Following an embarrassing defeat, the Falcons’ offence went out swinging to make sure TYLOO gets zero chance right from the get-go. As the Falcons managed to run a dominant offense, TYLOO could barely stand up to them with clutches, ecos, and everything else going the way of the European side. 11-1 half to get a dominant start. Winning the pistol round, Falcons closed the door for TYLOO, making a comeback and closing the map with a dominant 13-1 scoreline. The 2.33 IR with 16 kills from the IGL kyxan saw the team level the series at 1-1.
Map 3: Mirage; Pick: Decider; Winner: Falcons
Similar to Ancient, Falcons remained highly dominant even on Mirage as TYLOO’s defence failed to register anything more than a single round. Falcons racked up an 11-1 half before closing. With a dominant half, the Falcons managed to win the pistol, but TYLOO delayed their victory by winning their force buy in the round after. Securing double the rounds from the second map, Falcons managed to close out the game in the following round to win the half with a 13-2 scoreline.
TYLOO’s valiant effort will go anything but unnoticed as they get dominated by Falcons at such an early stage. Goes without saying that they will go home with a historic win against FaZe under their belt. As of now, their journey comes to an end in Rotterdam.
