Lynn Vision beat TYLOO 2-0 in an all-Chinese derby to stay alive in Group C of the Esports World Cup and knock their countrymen out of the tournament, HLTV reports. The lower-bracket series went 13-8 on Nuke and 13-4 on Inferno.
A collapse on Nuke
TYLOO started the series strongly on Lynn Vision's map pick, building an 8-4 lead on the CT side of Nuke. They then went completely missing. Lynn Vision won out from there with a clean 9-0 defensive run to take the map 13-8, turning a four-round deficit into a five-round win without conceding again.
No contest on Inferno
The second map was TYLOO's own choice, and it went no better. Lynn Vision posted an 8-4 half on the CT side and again shut the second half out, this time 5-0 on the attack, to close the map at 13-4 and end the series.
Junjie “EmiliaQAQ” Tang was the standout on Inferno, finishing with a 2.23 rating and a +16.43% swing in his team's dominant display. That performance carried him to the top of the series leaderboard with a 1.67 rating across both maps.
What the result means
The series scores were:
- Nuke: Lynn Vision 13-8 TYLOO
- Inferno: Lynn Vision 13-4 TYLOO
TYLOO's elimination leaves Lynn Vision as the survivor of the Chinese pairing in Group C, and continues a lower-bracket run in which a single defeat would end their tournament. Their next match is the second lower-bracket fixture, against the loser of Vitality versus B8, with a place in the top 16 bracket at stake.
