TYLOO rebuilt its CS:GO lineup on Might 25, a couple of month after failing to qualify for the BLAST Paris Main. The Chinese language group now fields three Asian gamers, one Serbian, and one Croatian—a mixture virtually as random as Cloud9’s lineups between 2018 and 2019.
Hong Konger rifler Cheung “Freeman” Wing-hei was the one member from TYLOO’s earlier lineup to outlive this roster overhaul and Chinese language rifler Solar “SLOWLY” Kelun was introduced again from the bench. The three new additions are the Mongolian star Tengis “sk0R” Batjargal, the Serbian captain Luka “emi” Vuković, and the Croatian AWPer Marin “ROGA” Rogić. Sk0R had been inactive since he was surprisingly removed from IHC’s lineup forward of the Asia RMR in April, whereas the European duo final performed for Partizan Esports.
The announcement of such a singular mixture of gamers brought about a fuss within the CS:GO neighborhood, particularly as a result of pure language barrier concerned. One CS:GO fan said on Reddit that is the “most random” lineup ever and different followers are stunned TYLOO went for emi and ROGA out of all the opposite choices obtainable.
The hyperlink between TYLOO, emi, and ROGA is probably going the Serbian head coach Nestor “LETN1” Tanić, who has been working for the Chinese language group since Might 2022. LETN1 most notably labored with emi between 2019 and 2020 in CR4ZY, which was later acquired by c0ntact Gaming, one of many founding members of the defunct CS:GO league Flashpoint.
Though TYLOO is among the most recognized organizations within the Asia-Pacific area, it hasn’t discovered success in CS:GO for some time. The final time TYLOO certified for the Main was on the PGL Stockholm Main in October 2021. This might have impressed TYLOO’s shift to a world strategy forward of Counter-Strike 2’s release, quite than conserving itself restricted to a restricted pool of gamers.
