FISSURE Playground 1TYLOO blast past 3DMAX into FPG semi-finals
TYLOO's incredible form with their coach standing in continued as they eased past 3DMAX, with Jee set to return for the semi-finals.
TYLOO have earned a semi-final berth at FISSURE Playground 1 by virtue of a comfortable 2-0 win over 3DMAX, cruising past the Frenchmen on Ancient (13-9) and Inferno (13-7).
The match will serve to be WeiJie "zhokiNg" Zhong's final series as a stand-in, as the coach announced in a post-game interview that Dongkai "Jee" Ji is set to return for the semi-finals.
TYLOO's form thus far this event has belied the fact they were playing without their AWPer, and that form continued as they outplayed 3DMAX throughout this series.
A combination of economic troubles and Yi "JamYoung" Yang felled 3DMAX on Ancient, a short back-and-forth of force-buys going against them before the Chinese rifler took over the server.
Multi-kill after multi-kill from JamYoung sent 3DMAX spiralling into a 1-8 deficit on their T side, and although the Frenchmen strung some rounds together in the middle stages of the map to bring the score a little closer, more multi-frags by JamYoung ensured the victory for his team.
TYLOO were even more dominant on the first half of Inferno, completely outplaying 3DMAX round after round. The Chinese side seemed to have a read on the defense at every turn, manipulating rotations and finishing off rounds with slick executes. When they were at a disadvantage, someone stepped up to turn the tides, resulting in a 10-2 lead at halftime.
3DMAX picked up a pistol and conversion to give themselves a glimmer of hope in the second half, but a 1v2 by Qianhao "Moseyuh" Chen and TYLOO half-buy victory proved to be 3DMAX's undoing.
TYLOO do not miss a beat
TYLOO have, incredibly, been in top form during their FISSURE Playground 1 run despite missing their AWPer Jee. Coach zhokiNg has been sharp individually and contributed in the fragging department, whilst JamYoung's form has been simply sublime.
The Chinese side not only outfragged their opposite numbers today, they also outplayed them from a macro standpoint. 3DMAX were often left dizzy when facing TYLOO's offense, unsure of where the rounds were heading, whilst TYLOO seemed to have perfect reads on their own defense.
At the end of the match in a post-game interview with Pala "Pala" Gilroy Sen, TYLOO revealed that Jee was set to play in the semi-finals. Who knows if that will actually be of benefit to TYLOO, considering their level in the event thus far.
