The first semi-final of FISSURE Playground 1 will be between two teams that were more of underdogs in this tournament, now, here at this stage. It will be the Chinese team TYLOO against the European team SAW. These two teams have never met each other before, so this match will be even more interesting to watch. TYLOO will have a chance to become the first Chinese team to make it to the Grand Final of a big tournament in CS2.

Current Team and Players Form
TYLOO
TYLOO, the dark horse of the tournament from the start, had another problem—they had to play with a stand-in instead of their main player, ‘Jee’. They had to bring in their coach, ‘zhokiNg,’ at the group stage and quarter-final match as well, and even though it was the case, it didn’t stop them from winning against Virtus.pro, Astralis, and 3DMAX.
On their way, they lost only one map to Astralis and didn’t lose a single match. ‘JamYoung’ is clearly their star player, who was leading the scoreboard for his team. Winning and making it that way with a coach is a huge sign of this team being in great shape and ready to give their all for this tournament, especially with another moral boost that their main player will be playing now, as he has dealt with his visa issues.
SAW
The European team didn’t show as strongly as their opponents here did, but they still won twice against FURIA and lost to GamerLegion on their way to the playoff stage. In their quarter-final match it was Complexity and SAW managed to win with a score of 2-1. ‘krazy’ is their highest rated player in the team with a rating of 1.20 but it was not the case in their quarter-final match where ‘Ag1l’ was the one on the top of the scoreboard, followed by his teammates ‘MUTiRiS’ and ‘story’ – two experienced Portuguese players. They’re in good shape, but it seems like they might be a little inconsistent.
Ag1l is happy with the semi-finals
Match Prediction
Both teams were the underdog or dark horses of this tournament, and it’s surprising to see both of them this far against each other, but TYLOO seems to be the individually better team, even though experience might be on SAW side a little bit. On top of that, TYLOO had better opponents and didn’t lose a single match. We would say that this match is 65-35 in favor of TYLOO. We expect TYLOO to win this match.
Can TYLOO become the first Chinese team to make it to the Grand Final in CS2, or will SAW, with its advantage of having experience against the best European teams, come on top? We will have to see this Saturday at 14:00 CET!
