TyLoo win WCG 2012 for $25,000

4-12-2012 18:46

Chinese giants TyLoo have secured yet another tournament win in Counter-Strike: Online, this time at World Cyber Games over ZINCTHAI 2-0 (16-2 de_train, 16-8 de_nuke) for $25,000.

World Cyber Games 2012 took place on November 29-December 2 in Kunshan, China. Although no official Counter-Strike tournament took place for the first time since the event's inception, a side tournament took place in CS: Online.

The side tournament sponsored by the developers of CSO actually had a prize purse of $40,000, and gathered a vast majority of Asia's best teams who still remain active in Counter-Strike. We have added all the results for the matches on the event page for those interested.

TyLoo keep racking up more prize money in CS:O

After the two Chinese representatives topped their respective groups, the semi-finals saw TyLoo defeat Malaysian Team LZ 2-0 (16-4 de_dust2, 16-7 de_nuke) and ZINCTHAI barely overcome UMX Gaming 2-1 (22-19 de_nuke, 13-16 de_inferno, 16-14 de_train).

The third place decider saw UMX Gaming take down Team LZ 2-0, while TyLoo overcame their domestic competition yet again in the grand final with a score of 2-0 to win a whopping $25,000.

Broken tag

WCG 2012 final standings:

1. TyLoo - $25,000
2. ZINCTHAI Gaming - $10,000
3. UMX Gaming - $5,000
4. Team LZ

Next up for TyLoo is the grand final of K1 League Season 2 on December 8, when they will take on ETeng for a first place prize of ~$24,000. They will also attend ECL 2012 final of the year in January.

Popular in Asia? It's not even popular in China. People attend CS:O tournys because just because of money involved in it.

cs:online is really popular in southeast asia, that is why nexus can afford to chip in $40k for prize money.

You mean the owner of CS:O spent $40k? When I think of Valve, I get sick. They probably have 1000% more cash than him and still no support at all.

the company that made cs:online paid for the game to be featured at wcg. valve's equity is estimated at $2,500,000,000, so they definitely have way, way, WAY more than 10x the amount of money nexus does :D

2012-12-05 00:49

Hey trust me, not even 1 person in India is playing CS:O ,its confined to China or North East Asia,

2012-12-06 01:53

india is not all of southeast asia. it's extremely popular in malaysia and singapore for example

2012-12-06 02:14

somehow im happy cs:o makes inactive 1.6 players to play cs again and attracting new players

2012-12-07 12:26

People attend CS:GO tournaments because of money involved in it.

No shit sherlock

2012-12-04 19:49

Nope.

2012-12-04 19:52

People attended CS 1.6 tournaments mostly for the money involved in it.

2012-12-04 20:48

orly

2012-12-05 10:58

what do u want?

2012-12-05 16:31

80 million? wait what?

if china's population alone is more than 1.5 billion and we assume that half of the population has access to a computer and internet and 10% of those have CS:O, its comes out to 75 million. thats in china only!

2012-12-04 21:02

yeah but you cant calculate like that cuz that would mean that even parents, babies, grandmothers play CS:O :D

2012-12-04 23:32

estimates are calculated that way. and im sure there are more than 75 million youngsters in china

2012-12-05 01:23

those estimates are completely useless because the conversation was about how many players does CS:O have and your estimate gave 75 millions which is obviously way off. you didnt count that in some part of asia almost noone plays it, that many youngsters dont have good enough pc/internet connection, that maybe every 5th person (guessing) is a gamer and most of asian gamers play other games (i would guess that sc2 and lol are more popular than cs:o) etc. so yeah, you did calculate an estimate but because you left out so many important factors the result doesnt give you anything P.S: nothing against you btw, cheers :)

2012-12-05 02:25

I'm pretty sure there are no 8000K CS:O players in China, probably 800, 8000?? not sure, but not many. Most play Zombie mode for fun.

2012-12-05 08:10

no csgo tournament in asia now(maybe sales is low as there is almost no css community,but money could make it popular,so i'm not sure). &cs1.6 is already dead in asia(no tournament). so csonline is the only choice for the old guys atm(or retire).

2012-12-04 23:23

I really wonder why there's so much difference regarding gaming between asia and the rest of the world. Seems like in asia only f2p games have success and people really want to spend money on ingame items rather than the game itself. Also I would get cancer playing cso because of those super-ugly graphics and models.

2012-12-05 00:55

People only spend money while they like the game. cso is a good choice for people who gave up cs1.6 4 or 5 years ago as more people started to play dota,WOW at that time .They felt lonely among their classmates or gaming community.so they just joined them.when cs appeared in a new package,they relighted their passion for cs and cso is more stable as an online game.(1.6 is more like a LAN game in china).However,i never played cso in my life as i never gave up cs1.6 :D

2012-12-05 07:18

While you get cancer, someone got a lot of cash. So sad for you. But yeah, no doubt that the game's ugly.

2012-12-05 16:19

ACG not WCG. How many viewers were watching this CS:O?

2012-12-04 18:49

Semi final = 800 viewers on english stream :|

2012-12-04 19:24

i didnt hear a single word about wcg lol

2012-12-04 20:11

2012-12-04 20:50

easy

it's pretty crazy that tyloo will have won ~$80k in the past six months just playing cs:online for the most part, with a couple of small cs 1.6 events. if only cs: online was worldwide, and had fixed rates etc :)

2012-12-04 18:50

15 replies

And it's crazy noone in the whole asian region can beat them.

2012-12-04 18:55

i don't find that crazy, tyloo has proven to be a good team overall. they beat mouz, na`vi and anexis at iem 6 wc and went out due to head-to-head tiebreaker vs esc; they proved they are a good team.

2012-12-04 18:58

they are a good team, but not a top team. maybe sometimes they can beat some european teams, but not always. if the overall environment of esports and fking network speed can be improved in China, they will have more chances to practice with european teams other than just Chinese teams, they can become even stronger. but anyway, the best time of 1.6 is gone, and maybe we won't see some players of this 'Tyloo' anymore, let's wait and see.

2012-12-05 07:11

tyloo were a top notch 1.6 team and they continue with cs online..and if you see other chinese or asian teams they dont have even half of tyloo's overall international and playing experience..

2012-12-04 21:16

Or just play 1.6 instead...oh wait we did that the past 13 years.

2012-12-04 19:06

gladly if there were any tournaments left... well i guess a lan in finland next weekend, asus final battle of the year next weekend and golden hall dubai events, but for the most part it's pretty grim.

2012-12-04 19:10

this is offtopic sorry, but why isnt f0rest stream on hltv? He said on his stream that he needed to figure it out how to get his stream on hltv. please add twitch.tv/officialf0rest

2012-12-06 00:15

his old one is added, i guess no one knew he changed his stream channel, i'll fix it now

2012-12-06 00:42

thanks.

2012-12-06 00:43

cso2 is about to be released in china (already in korea)

2012-12-04 23:37

They did fix the rate for the wcg event.

2012-12-05 03:55

really? you can get 101 updaterate etc now in cso?

2012-12-05 11:08

i heard that was korean version cso in WCG. it worked great on lan.

2012-12-05 15:09

max rates for cso, yes.

2012-12-05 16:21

yup. They make a Lan version of CSO just for this WCG.

2012-12-06 01:03

easy money for tyloo

CS:O is worse then source.

2012-12-04 18:53

I had no clue wcg was on

Nice.. :)

2012-12-04 18:56

Can somebody explain to me to key differences between CS:O and 1.6

7 replies

cso is modified 1.6 - lower and non-changable rates, some different weapons etc. the difference isnt huge, but still when fnatic went to play k1 league they were unable to beat some chinese teams

2012-12-04 19:01

its played on web browser like world of tanks or something like that and you can buy weapons for real money and i dont really know else.

2012-12-04 19:03

is it really played on a web browser? lol.

2012-12-05 00:57

not really

2012-12-05 05:48

Huge lag because of no rate options, you can't rebind any keybindings, different weapons/skins (one of fnatics opponents had knifes with longer range, hard kniferound :D also they had skinnier models). The no rate thing is huge because you can't take down multiple opponents basically so the game plays out entirely different.

2012-12-04 19:05

They fix the rates for WCG. So, updaterate/cmdrate to 101, and rate 25000.

2012-12-05 16:24

Heaps of info here: cso.wikia.com/wiki/Counter-Strike_Online..

2012-12-04 21:43

good to know, hltv.org

gj hltv.

Good job TyLoo

i waiting whole year for wcg now is just only about cs:o sad ...

These days you don't know what to play.

2012-12-04 19:11

I do, 1.6

2012-12-04 19:17

lurppis you could put the prize money in euros instead of dollars since this is an european based website if I'm not wrong, just a suggestion.

2012-12-04 19:14

9 replies

most events pay their prize money in dollars so it makes sense to use the same one to make comparisons easier

2012-12-05 00:56

Doesn't make sence. Think the guy has a point. You can also make the comparison easy when you just show the euro amount. Or maybe like $(€)

2012-12-05 09:51

usd is still the global currency, it will do

It's a small effort isn't it? But hey don't make ppl think you're nice or anthing.

2012-12-05 19:38

i don't agree with your opinion, so i won't follow it. has nothing to do with being nice.

2012-12-05 19:39

It's not an opinion. It's a fact that it would come out handy for lot's of ppl here on hltv. Because a big percentage uses the euro.

2012-12-05 19:41

doesn't matter to me what currency people use in their home country, fact is only local lans pay out their prize money in euros while everyone else uses the global currency, american dollars. therefore it makes sense to convert other currencies to usd as well

2012-12-05 19:44

I'm saying it wouldn't hurt anyone if you put it next to usd. It's fun to know. But hej you and you're opinions. Can't admit anything. Bye Lurp

2012-12-05 19:47

it also wouldn't hurt anyone to convert it to brazilian reals, canadian dollars or swedish crowns, but just like euros, if you need to know them in your currency, you will have to either a) figure it out b) google it. we're here to cover cs tournaments, not convert currencies.

2012-12-05 19:52

WCG this year is a big shit.

2012-12-04 19:16

2012-12-04 19:36

I like the way TyLoo played lately. Would have been awesome to see them playing against European teams in 1.6 :( Maybe in CSP in 2013 :P

2012-12-04 19:48

if the developers decide to release it

2012-12-04 20:52

I officially feel my iQ just dropped... Reading these idiotic comments. YE BRO YOU CAN CALCULATE HOW MANY PEOPLE PLAY CSO like that,...

2012-12-05 01:54

more than CS:GO steam player

2012-12-05 15:17

Oh, didn't even know WCG was going on... x)

2012-12-05 11:10

CS:Online is not good game it's only money. i think CS:Online only plays in china. So Asian some players want to play CS:GO cause we love GLOBAL GAMING and everyday plays on steam and 1 problem is ping we usually play with 150 more high ping but i like play. So we want to play and paractice with european players ping is always problem.(sorry my bad language skill)

2012-12-05 17:59

so its the asian version of csgo? shit game, but plenty of money so people play it^^^

2012-12-05 19:40

i dont know if people play CSol for money or not but at least it feels like CS to me,even i got 200 ping playing from US,it's to me better than Go,only problem is the rates,but if you try to play it for fun it's not a problem,besides the map and weapons r more like CZ type,it feels different, but people can stil handle it ,also in asian server they got more ppls than cs server from US,so it's kind of fun to play around with people ,the other problem i dont like is if you quit before the map ends you will lose some points,make it hard to leave sometimes,but if you play well you earn points so fast you dont have to worry 2 much about that. overall it's stil a fun game,but not a serious game.I think if they fix rates and open servers in europe and US it wil become really popular.I wish they can release server in US,better than GO and CSS to me.
