paiN eliminate TYLOO — another heartbreak, same story
Like in Chengdu, TYLOO’s run ends at the hands of paiN, this time in a tense 2–1 that knocks the Chinese squad out of BLAST Rivals Season 2 and denies them a shot at playing on the arena stage in front of their home crowd.
paiN came in hot on Nuke, running an 8–4 T-side start with nqz and biguzera combining for 25 kills before TYLOO’s pistol-round lifeline collapsed under a brutal eco loss. Ancient flipped the script — Jee woke up from a 1-kill first half to form a deadly duo with Mercury, dragging TYLOO to a deserved map win.
But Overpass exposed the recurring problem: TYLOO simply cannot start T sides. A rough 10–2 half forced yet another desperate comeback attempt, and despite JamYoung and Attacker pushing them close, paiN closed it out behind snow’s clutch 1v2 — and a pair of costly late-round AWP misses from Jee.
The streak nobody wants
This loss marks TYLOO’s ninth straight series defeat. Brutal run of defeats across Aurora, Liquid, fnatic, FaZe, Falcons, paiN (twice), and Vitality.
For a team heading into the Budapest Major Stage 2, alarm bells aren’t just ringing, they are tolling super hard. CS2 Bettors may have to avoid them in the Major.
“We screwed up our last chance here… We didn’t play well the whole tournament. I’m really sad and upset.” — Moseyuh, post-match.
paiN’s takeaways
– Momentum is back after a rocky autumn
– nqz & biguzera delivered reliably across maps
– snow showed ice-cold clutch ability when it mattered
TYLOO’s reality check
– JamYoung’s elite form isn’t enough on its own, Jee had to deliver too.
– T-side fundamentals are still collapsing under pressure
– Slow starts continue to bury them before the game even begins
paiN move on to the quarter-finals. TYLOO head home with more questions than answers. The CS2 Starladder Major is creeping closer every day.
