BIG take down TYLOO to go 2-0 at FACEIT Major

BIG controlled things from beginning to end as they beat TYLOO 16-7 on Train to become the first team with two wins in the New Legends stage.

The first match of the day took place on Train, where BIG won the first pistol round as CTs with a very close defuse on the B site. They also took the next, but lost their only m4a1 along the way as Kevin "⁠xccurate⁠" Susanto managed a knife kill on Johannes "⁠nex⁠" Maget before throwing the rifle away, never to been seen by the Germans again.

BIG denied the first gun round from the Chinese/Indonesian side, and from there started stringing together rounds as they looked coordinated and ready for TYLOO's unpredictable style. Fatih "⁠gob b⁠" Dayik's troops made it all the way to a 7-0 lead before TYLOO poked a hole in the German defences.

Hansel "⁠BnTeT⁠" Ferdinand's men managed two rounds, but botched a chance to reset BIG's economy, as the Germans took total control of the half, which ended 13-2 in their favour.

TYLOO managed a retake in the second pistol round after the switch to add a third to their tally. With the comeback in their sights, Hui "⁠DD⁠" Wu and co. won four more in a row on the defence side to make it 13-7. BIG then found their footing again, as they swiftly won three rounds to wrap up the match, ultimately winning Train 16-7.
