Vitality through to Semi-Finals at BLAST Showdown
TYLOO did well on Inferno, but could not avoid an early exit from the tournament.
Chinese underdogs from TYLOO were the first team to be eliminated from the BLAST Fall Showdown tournament.
As the lowest-seeded team at the event, TYLOO got the hardest draw facing the current number 1 team in the world (according to HLTV) in Team Vitality. To begin with, there were promising signs on Inferno for the Chinese players to keep up with ZywOo and Vitality. But as the map progressed the more experienced Danish/French roster began to create a gap. With Emil "Magisk" Reif in top shape, it did not get any easier for TYLOO, who had to concede their own map pick 12-16.
Dust2 turned out to be an almost copy-paste from the first map. Again TYLOO kept Vitality within a close distance, but when it mattered the most, Vitality had that extra individual firepower to bring home the map. It was not impressive from Vitality but it was enough.
TYLOO is out of BLAST Fall Showdown, while Vitality will go on to the Semi-Finals on Friday against the winner of Astralis vs Eternal Fire.
