TYLOO reveal six-man roster for IEM Chengdu

The Chinese squad plans to rotate the lineup during its campaign at the home tournament.

kaze features on TYLOO's Chengdu roster after he sat out most of their matches since the Asia RMR

TYLOO have announced that they will field a six-man roster at the upcoming IEM Chengdu tournament, taking place from April 8-14.

Upon inquiry from HLTV, a representative from the organization shared that they have submitted six players because they will "probably rotate the squad" at the $250,000 event.

The ESL rulebook allows for substitutions between matches and even between maps in a series, as long as changes are reported in the designated time.

The Chinese side had already trialed several different lineups in matches in the regional ESL Challenger League and Jönköping qualifier following their failure to qualify from the Asia RMR ahead of PGL Major Copenhagen.

Former Lord Rabbit — TYLOO's academy — prospect Dongrui "⁠zdr⁠" Zhang seemingly became the team's new core member, as he featured in all 12 matches along with Jingxiang "⁠Mercury⁠" Wang and Yi "⁠JamYoung⁠" Yang, while four other players filled in the other two spots.

For IEM Chengdu, the organization has settled on the aforementioned trio, their long-time in-game leader Zhuo "⁠advent⁠" Liang, another ex-academy player LiYang "⁠lyrics3⁠" Jiang, and Andrew "⁠kaze⁠" Khong, who sat out most of their matches since the RMR.

TYLOO will face MOUZ first on the opening day of the tournament, on April 8 at 07:30 . They'll fight in a group also featuring the likes of G2, Liquid and HEROIC for three spots in the playoffs.

His contract is still in TYLOO,but he is currently working as a streamer in Huya.Occasionally,he jokes about going to Shanghai Major,but as his fans,we all knows he's joking.He often plays with Valorant,so maybe he won't come back to play CS match.

I think he was always in the shadow of Mercury and JamYoung on his position, so when they felt like they had to make a change to actually make the major instead of trying and trying with the same roster without success, he was the obvious victim. Because advent is hard to replace as igl, they made a desperate move to get some change by adding aumaN, but it obviously didnt work out. Long story short, I just think he got unlucky when Tyloo wanted to make a last-second move.
