Chinese Counter-Strike team, TYLOO has claimed its first international CS2 title outside of Asia by winning the FISSURE Playground 1 tournament. The team defeated Danish giants Astralis 3-1 in a tense best-of-five Grand Final, securing a $290,000 grand prize and a historic international breakthrough.

Entering the event ranked 20th in the global Valve Regional Standings (VRS), TYLOO faced stiff competition throughout the tournament. Their clash with Astralis in the final wasn’t the first meeting between the two teams—TYLOO had already outplayed the Danish side in the group stage, despite being without starting player Dongkai ‘Jee’ Ji. Coach Weijie ‘zhokiNg’ Zhong stepped in for that match, helping the team earn a crucial early win over the European favourites.

Jee returned to the roster ahead of the semi-finals, bolstering TYLOO’s performance heading into the title decider.

The Grand Final began with Astralis taking an early lead after a few pivotal clutches from Rasmus ‘HooXi’ Nielsen helped the Danes secure the first map. TYLOO, however, came back with authority. A resounding 13-4 victory on Nuke levelled the series and set the tone for what followed.

The third map, Mirage, went into overtime with both teams trading rounds, but TYLOO’s composure under pressure saw them edge ahead 16-13. With momentum on their side, they sealed the championship on Ancient, winning 13-10 and taking the series 3-1.
