JamYoung powers TYLOO through Ancient
The series started on the favorites’ map pick, as HEROIC justified it by picking up 8 T rounds to start.

TYLOO made quick work of HEROIC in overtime, taking it 16-12.
JamYoung dropped a 30-bomb to steal map 1.
Mirage, picked by TYLOO, favors HEROIC
TYLOO couldn’t opt for their most picked map, Inferno, as it was instantly banned by HEROIC.
They opted for Mirage instead, where HEROIC have a 70% win-rate, and where HEROIC found their groove.
The half ended 6-6, which looked good for TYLOO, but momentum shifted the other way at half-time for HEROIC.
Taking an 11-7 lead, the game was close to going to Train.
TYLOO, once again, made a comeback at the closing stages of Mirage. However, HEROIC recovered well with yxngstxr top fragging.
HEROIC takes a chaotic Train on their way to victory
TYLOO and HEROIC started with force-buy wars early on Train, which HEROIC decidedly won.
With the economic advantage, they got up to 8 rounds at the half, despite some very close calls, including a 1v2 from SunPayus won by the bomb timer.
TYLOO won the pistol and converted this time, so it was not going to be an easy win for HEROIC. Nonetheless, they took control of the rounds, stopping TYLOO’s aggression, and stayed alive in Austin.
