TYLOO<\/a> live to fight another day at IEM Cologne 2022 following their 2-1 victory over MIBR<\/a> in the first round of the Play-In’s lower bracket. The Chinese squad suffered a tough opening defeat on Inferno (5-16) before returning the favor on Overpass (16-3). Dust2 (16-10) was more competitive, but TYLOO<\/a> eventually closed the game on the CT side.<\/p>\n Hansel “\u2060BnTeT\u2060”<\/span> Ferdinand<\/a>‘s men dropped to the lower bracket after an opening loss to Vitality<\/a>, but now only have a match against MOUZ<\/a> standing between them and a spot in the next stage of the German LAN.<\/p>\n The defeat marks the end of MIBR<\/a>‘s run in Cologne. The Brazilian squad started off the tournament with a narrow defeat to Movistar Riders<\/a> which immediately relegated them to the lower bracket, and despite some good moments in the series, they were unable to close out the match against TYLOO<\/a>.<\/p>\n TYLOO successfully recovered after a poor showing on Inferno<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Following a promising start on their pick of Inferno, things quickly fell apart for TYLOO<\/a>. The Chinese squad converted the opening pistol, but as soon as MIBR<\/a> were able to bring out the rifles on the CT side, they took control of the half. Jhonatan “\u2060JOTA\u2060”<\/span> Willian<\/a> was incredible during the Brazilian’s six-round streak as he found several multi-kills as well as the 1v2 clutch that started it all for his team. BnTeT<\/a>‘s team was able to crack into bombsites, but their aggressive post-plant setups and poor economic management cost them too many rounds and they moved into the second half trailing 5-10 behind.<\/p>\n MIBR<\/a> were flawless after switching sides to the offense, with Raphael “\u2060exit\u2060”<\/span> Lacerda<\/a> and Marcelo “\u2060chelo\u2060”<\/span> Cespedes<\/a> at the heart of it all. The South Americans sailed to a 16-5 victory, not dropping a single round in the second half and converting a 2v5 on the B site to secure a 16-5 scoreline.<\/p>\n After moving to Overpass, TYLOO<\/a> showed us what they are really capable of. Starting off on the CT side, the Chinese squad immediately converted the opening pistol to gain early momentum. Following a quiet game on Inferno, Zhenghao “\u2060DANK1NG\u2060”<\/span> Lv<\/a> and BnTeT<\/a> really came alive on the second map and, alongside Kelun “\u2060SLOWLY\u2060”<\/span> Sun<\/a>, locked out MIBR<\/a> from the two sites. The Brazilians only took a few sporadic rounds on the offense, and failed to get on the scoreboard after switching sides, surrendering their own map pick 3-16.<\/p>\n DANK1NG took over the server on Overpass<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n In contrast to the first two maps, the first half of Dust2 was more closely contested. TYLOO<\/a> started off on the T side and immediately showed they felt more confident compared to their two previous offensive halves. However, Breno “\u2060brnz4n\u2060”<\/span> Poletto<\/a> was on a superb run of form for the South Americans and accumulated a 21-11 K-D while constantly being a nuisance for the attackers on the A site. Late in the half, DANK1NG<\/a> also came alive, helping TYLOO<\/a> to convert three consecutive hits on the B site after spending most of the half trying to crack A.<\/p>\n With a slight 8-7 lead going into the second half, the Chinese squad wasted no time in extending their advantage by taking the pistol on the CT side. After conceding five in a row, MIBR<\/a> showed signs of life, getting three offensive rounds before quickly running out of steam. The killing blow came on round 25 when DANK1NG<\/a> took down four members of the Brazilian squad in quick succession, breaking the T economy and clearing the way for TYLOO<\/a> to take the last round and close Dust2 16-10.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
