TyLoo win StarLadder ImbaTV Invitational Chongqing

Starting Inferno, the first map of the series, on the CT side and losing the pistol, Spirit had a tough time establishing their economy early on, and that was only made worse by rounds constantly being traded back-and-forth when the guns rolled in, resetting Spirit's loss bonus.

TYLOO grabbed a 6-3 lead, with a 2v4 turnaround on A playing a pivotal part in that, but Spirit managed to finally tie some rounds together and the end of the half with an 8-7 advantage. Viktor "⁠sdy⁠" Orudzhev got a double entry in the second pistol round to allow his team to take the round, but TYLOO struck back instantly with Kevin "⁠xccurate⁠" Susanto's sneaky double playing a crucial part in the force-buy win.

The Indonesian AWPer, who wasn't having a great game in the first half, woke up after that and did work on the CT side. TYLOO then went on a five-round winning streak which was finally stopped by a successful fake and late-round commitment towards A. However, TYLOO brought it back shortly, with xccurate's 1v1 clutch in round 23 setting his team up for a 16-11 victory on Inferno.

TyLoo lifted the trophy on home soil

On Overpass, Spirit kicked off with a pistol round win and a clean 3-0 start, but TYLOO was able to break the CIS team's economy shortly, taking two rounds on the T side. As the score reached the 4-3 mark, Spirit managed to add two to their tally, with Vadim "⁠DavCost⁠" Vasilyev topping the scoreboard for his team at that point with 10 kills and 5 deaths (6-3).

To avoid Spirit's AWPer, TYLOO focused on the B site and won consecutive rounds on that side of the map, allowing them to finish the half with a minimal deficit, 8-7. The score was tied up in the next round as TYLOO retook the A site with ease, Ke "⁠captainMo⁠" Liu picking up the last two kills in the round.

Hansel "⁠BnTeT⁠" Ferdinand and co. started gaining some ground after the first gun round of the second half went their way as well (11-8), but their streak was shortly put on pause by a scrappy round won by Spirit on A. The score was 13-10 in their favor when TYLOO was put on a limited buy, but captainMo stepped up with two key kills on the B site defence and the Chinese side reached map point shortly. 

Spirit was putting up a strong comeback attempt towards the end of the half map, but on a round his team had mixed buy, Hui "⁠DD⁠" Wu pulled off a quad-kill hero play and secured the map win for his team, taking Overpass 16-13 and the series 2-0.
