BIG vs TyLoo

Tyloo looked for a long time in 2018 as the next team to be a steady top10 team in the world. With exciting and sometimes crazy tactics. Not seeming to be hindered by the fact that they almost need translators in the team. But recent months have shown the lack of proper practice partners, or maybe the European/NA teams have studied their demos a bit more.

Either way they have not looked very solid in the last events.

LAN stats for last 6 months:

31 wins and 32 losses. Worst maps are Inferno 7/11 (39%) and Train 3/7(30%). Best maps are Mirage 10/4(71%) and Cache 7/2(78%)

BIG on the other hand has been looking pretty ok, they are not a top5 team. But have proven that they are a solid top10 team. Their most recent golden result is 2-0 revenge against NAVI, both at IEM and ESL.

LAN stats for last 6 months:

30 wins and 30 losses. Worst maps are Nuke 2/5(29%) and Inferno 5/6(46%). Best maps are Overpass 5/2(71%) and Dust2 7/6(54%).

Most things point in the direction of BIG. They have more time to prepare for this tournament, while tyloo are busy playing the toyata tournament in ASIA and have to travel very far to even attend this event. The only downside might be BIG trying to save their best strats for the ESL event. But not enough to make them think about losing this match.
