TYLOO’s coach chose these five players for the next match: YuLun “Summer” Cai, YuanZhang “Attacker” Sheng, HaoWen “somebody” Xu, Kelun “SLOVELY” Sun, and Zhenghao “DANK1NG” Lv. Upcoming events and leagues for TYLOO are the Perfect World Asia League Fall 2020, ESL Pro League Season 12 Asia, and the FunSpark ULTI 2020 tournament.
ViCi was pretty solid this summer. They finished second at the DreamHack Open Summer 2020 Asia (Online) tournament, and third at the Perfect World Asia League Summer 2020 tournament. ViCi won five of the last eight matches and has a win rate of 66.7% in the past three months.

The youngest player Yi “JamYoung” Yang has been with the team for less than a year, but he proved out to be the best one with 0.77 kills per round and a rating of 1.18. The other three who will be the backbone of the team in the finals are Andrew “Kaze” Khong, ZhiHong “aumaN” Liu, and WeiJie “zhokiNg” Zhong.

Pick: Total maps over 3.5 (-162 @Pinnacle)
TYLOO is a better-ranked team (#42 vs. #68) and the bookmaker’s favorite. They played three matches against ViCi in the past 30 days, they won all three duels but always lost at least one map. I think it will be the same this time, and I bet on total maps over 3.5 at Pinnacle.
