Spirit Crushes TYLOO in Two Maps in Bucharest

The Russian team Spirit won a dominant 2-0 victory over TYLOO in the PGL Masters Bucharest Swiss group stage. After losing to BETBOOM on the first day of the tournament, the team levelled its group record at 1-1 with this result.

The series started on Mirage, the map picked by TYLOO. The Chinese team won the first pistol round on the attack, but was quickly pushed back in the second round when Dmitry "sh1ro" Sokolov and Danil "donk" Kryshkovets took out all five opponents with SMGs. Spirit never lost control of the map after that. Leading 8-4 on defence, the Russian side conceded only one round in the second half and closed the map 13-5.

On Anubis, TYLOO again took the first pistol round, but could not capitalise on it in the second round despite having to buy a forced weapon. Spirit faced even less resistance on this map than on Mirage. Conceding only three rounds in the first half, they finished the match 13-3 on the attack without any trouble.

Throughout the match, TYLOO never managed to win two rounds in a row. The Chinese team failed to reach ten points on any of the four maps it played, and after losses to FUT and Spirit it dropped to 0-2 in the group. Their chances of advancing from the group stage look slim.
