TYLOO overhaul roster with international players

25/5/2023 - 15:47

Freeman is the only remaining player from TYLOO's former roster, while SLOWLY returns to activity from the bench.

TYLOO have announced the signing of three new players for their new lineup in Luka "⁠emi⁠" Vuković, Marin "⁠ROGA⁠" Rogić and Tengis "⁠sk0R⁠" Batjargal. The international trio will join up with WingHei "⁠Freeman⁠" Cheung and Kelun "⁠SLOWLY⁠" Sun — who makes his return from the bench — to form the Chinese organization's new starting five.

Freeman is the only player who survived the overhaul

The new signings mark a drastic change from the team's former roster. Four Chinese players were moved to the bench, longtime riflers YuLun "⁠Summer⁠" Cai and YuanZhang "⁠Attacker⁠" Sheng, as well as Zhenghao "⁠DANK1NG⁠" Lv and 19-year-old Shengjun "⁠aristo⁠" Jin, to make way for the English-speaking squad.

The former squad failed to make a mark on the international stage, reaching only the first of the post-pandemic Majors, PGL Stockholm, where they went out in 12-14th place with a 1-3 record. They also failed to make Big Events after 2021 as the likes of TheMongolz, Grayhound and even Rare Atom booked the Asia-Oceania qualifier slots ahead of them.

The move to an international roster comes a year after Nestor "⁠LETN1⁠" Tanić took over the Chinese team's reins. The 30-year-old will now have former teammate and compatriot emi, TYLOO's incoming in-game leader, as a link in the server.

The Balkan influence will also be felt with the incoming AWPer, 22-year-old ROGA from Croatia, who was last seen plying his trade for Partizan alongside emi.

Rounding out the international team's starting five is former TheMongolz rifler sk0R, who played for Mongolia's top side while they were still known as IHC and was let go from the team to many fans' dismay as he was one of the team's highest rated shooters.

The players are now at TYLOO's offices in Hangzhou, China, and are actively preparing for the ESL Challenger League Asia Relegation starting on June 9.

TYLOO is now:

Luka "⁠emi⁠" Vuković
WingHei "⁠Freeman⁠" Cheung
Kelun "⁠SLOWLY⁠" Sun
Marin "⁠ROGA⁠" Rogić
Tengis "⁠sk0R⁠" Batjargal

Nestor "⁠LETN1⁠" Tanić (coach)
Darko "⁠soLo⁠" Mitić (assistant coach)

YuLun "⁠Summer⁠" Cai (benched)
YuanZhang "⁠Attacker⁠" Sheng (benched)
Zhenghao "⁠DANK1NG⁠" Lv (benched)
Shengjun "⁠aristo⁠" Jin (benched)

Isn't emi the caller? What other international caller is going to join tyloo?

2023-05-25 18:46

how are they random if letn1 is coach? letn1 used to play with emi and they're good friends + if they wanted awper roga was their first choice.

No you couldn’t, you can try a weak attempt like this. Next time be less toxic

2023-06-02 12:26

I could, and I wont try since I dont waste time with trolls like you /closed

2023-06-02 12:30

Troll is a word I would use for you, keep projecting And you’re not closing anything kid

barely something new? they've had LETN1 as a coach for over a year and soLo as analyst since start of the year, both serbian

2023-05-25 16:30

who cares about coaches or analysts lol

2023-05-25 16:47

Lmao, what a great and intelligent opinion, keep proving to me (and everyone else here) what you are.

Analysts play a significant role in Modern counter-strike.

2023-05-26 22:19

idk if anyone actually answered you but apparently danking said on stream hes taking a break until cs2

2023-05-25 16:48

not coming back till one way smokes are goneeeee

2023-05-26 00:40

look their coach staff since a year

2023-05-25 17:06

dank1ng is gonna take a rest and come back for the next major

Yep

2023-06-03 07:28

danking is taking a rest, he's tired

2023-05-26 06:10

Goat emi back at it

2023-05-25 15:47

not good enough

The key is if they can qualify for a major. If they can do that then they will be considered reasonably successful by current Asian standards, if they can't even do that it's a flop for sure.

2023-05-25 16:06

You mean qualify for legends? Because that ain't gonna happen! Challengers stage should be doable though!

2023-05-25 16:21

No, I just mean qualify for the major as a bare minimum. I'm not sure they can even do that over the other Asian teams.

2023-05-25 16:22

True, Mongolz and Renegades are probably favorites

Yes, and Rare Atom are still a decent team as well. NKT's result in ECL is a great example of how this team *may* turn out.

2023-05-25 16:35

FalleN in TYLOO is the solution.

ROGA carry

2023-05-26 08:01

yes

they have 11 guys in team lol

tyloo vs eg 10v10

+1 make it happen

2023-05-26 16:30

I dont like this, sorry

Skoooooooooooooooooooooooooor

Huge skor for tyloo!

2023-05-25 19:18

danking was good though

He benched himself like Ame.

2023-05-25 15:55

hmm everybody on tyloo was trash other than him...can't blame him ig? But where next?

2023-05-25 15:56

Not sure how good his english is but would love to see him in an international line-up in Europe or NA.

mans taking a break till cs2

he hardly speaks English

2023-05-25 17:31

emi does not have an easy job ahead of him damn

Sk0r king

So hyped to see him back

2023-05-26 14:40

interesting but why they take useless players again

brining in tier 3 players to save the project isnt the play.

who do you expect Tyloo to "bring in"? Perfecto, Hunter, and Jks? What's the play, fellow gold nova 4 on my best day player? All Chinese team hasn't worked, and they're trying something new-- kudos to them

2023-05-26 22:21

maybe try with some tier 2 players atleast

isnt sk0r t1 player and emi t2 player and letn1 t2 coach? could work

2023-05-27 21:30

Pitbull invested in Tyloo recently?

if emi is still good at igl, they will be successful in t2 or t3.

Half these guys don’t even speak English????

like you in usa?

2023-05-26 12:22

Sk0r wasting his time here

2023-05-25 15:51

skor is good and I'm a big fan but he's not Twistzz, relax. Might work out well for him in Tyloo. Where do you expect him to sign? Vitality?

2023-05-26 22:22

Another mongolian teams

2023-05-27 06:55

Only team from Mongolia that can do something is Mongolz. Tyloo have higher upside potential , it could work out

2023-05-27 21:32

Sure I wish him the best. I just dont have high hope since international roster

2023-05-27 21:35

KICK EMI But rest of the team is good! TYLOO ALWAYS TOP 1

Emi is probably the greatest paycheck stealer of all time What a 1000 iq move that is Moving to a dead region, create an international roster rather than coaching a local roster, easily dominate it, look like a god Play 1 major, exit 0-3 GG you a god

yeah hahahaha

2023-05-25 15:57

respect emi the guy who

2023-05-25 16:05

and he also

I remember once when he

2023-05-25 16:33

Dont forget when he threw a molly on his feet in the last round fpx ever played and burned alive.

2023-05-25 16:37

lol accurate

2023-05-25 16:11

Even making it to the major is an accomplishment for Tyloo these days

2023-05-25 16:55

Better than EG LOL

BRING BACK BNTET

washed

Let me break it down to you: More chances on RMRs and shit. But the main reason - Tyloo want to make money on CCTs and other moneymaking cups

emi roga pog

sk0r talent wasted :(

Use this team to work on his english comms then he will join a better international team, hopefully.

2023-05-25 16:19

he already played for NKT tho...

2023-05-25 18:32

Oh... well... RIP sk0r I guess.

2023-05-25 19:25

sk0r can already speak english tho. i've seen him give several interviews in english, he can speak it adequately.

2023-05-26 13:56

he has higher salaries in Tyloo

2023-05-26 15:02

lmao go disband

2023-05-25 15:58

how emi > bntet? tyloo without bntet is tier 8 team

It's been a while since I've been excited about TYLOO. I don't have high hopes but at least this will be interesting.

EMI xaxaxaxa

ahh thats the sk0r trade that happened right after ihc esl run

2023-05-25 15:59

2023-05-25 18:16

In US English, “spelled” is standard. In UK English, both “spelled” and “spelt” are acceptable. pls dont embarrass yourself and elaborate for once flair, flag, name

2023-05-25 18:40

You just proved my point and that you were wrong lmao….. are you mentally challenged? You laugh at polish guy above for writting “spelled” as incorrect, while you are the one who is wrong and then you answer to me with basically same thing I wrote??? Imagine having typo in your username, ultimate embarrassment. Get professional help.

2023-05-25 18:49

love how you mention the typo when it's intentional it might be the same thing you wrote, but it's the explanation of why im wrong and you're a dumbass for not providing this information, ultimate embarrassment. Get professional help.

2023-05-25 18:56

Well for users who don’t have intellectual disability word “spelled” is self-explanatory and they don’t need essay attached why it is acceptable form. But good job at explaining better (*cough* google search * cough*) and in more detail why YOU are wrong. Pardon me, dumbass like myself didn’t consider fact I might be talking to under 50IQ person, who needs everything being served on a silver platter. Bye Captain Ukraine next time you might consider using google search before rather than after an argument where you have to explain how wrong you are. Saves everyone’s time.

2023-05-25 19:46

please just swallow it and correct username to Cloud9,

2023-05-26 22:23

roga goat

Fell bad for Chinese fans, losing their main team for a random mix that will reach nowhere

Tyloo has long been more like a meme team to Chinese fans and 99% of people had no faith in the previous lineup anyway

2023-05-25 16:41

why bench danking? he is a beast

ofc they wouldnt bench him, it was his choice.

2023-05-25 18:14

kinda sad for freeman, he did so well on vici under advent lead, untill he joined falsh/tyloo :c

Interesting Gl

sk0R redemption arc

Hopefully

2023-05-25 16:08

solid tier4 team

2023-05-25 16:07

Roster pachanguero. RIP Tyloo.

for sure they could get better players for the same amount of money than emi and this noname lmao

I guess they learned chinese

dank1ng was really good wtf

Trully this is the best timeline. Jokes aside i think this will be a good rooster move. Emi is a solid IGL, Sk0r is a beast and ROGA is a decent player as well. As for the benched players not much of value is lost (DANKING being the sole exception). They would make a solid experienced foundation for new chinese teams that would still very much require an injection of young firepower.

This is weird. Instead of having more stars for young Chinese players as role models they are importing EU players. On the other hand it MIGHT work.

2023-05-25 16:13

It's such a toss up because there are a lot of unknowns about communication, playstyle, and performance that will have to be answered.

2023-05-25 16:39

0/8

That is such a sad move

2023-05-25 16:14

sk0r is upgrade, but these 2 tier 4 eu bots is probably downgrade tyloo has money why they don't buy good eu players?

2023-05-25 16:15

Letn1 decision

2023-05-25 16:46

Yeah he felt lonely and decided to bring fellow balkans...

2023-05-25 19:17

wtf

DANKING said he will come back in CS2 as a pro player. But not sure back to Tyloo.

2023-05-25 16:17

tier 4 team

2023-05-25 16:18

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

lmao this is gonna be the best post-major shuffle of all time

what on earth

what a shuffle

hopefully DANK1NG returns to carry this team to top 10

i dont get it

2023-05-25 16:24

if u dont then i feel for u

2023-05-25 16:36

this shot will never work. just balkans milking some money from asian noobs. just change the game in dota or LoL. imagine being 9,999,999,999 people and cant find 5 individual players to make an competitive top10 team to compete in tier1 LUL. take example from US or brazil... oh wait. 💀

2023-05-25 16:25

Sad to see DANK1NG go. He was exceptional. emi as an IGL? Darn, I thought he was completely washed out.

2023-05-25 16:26

Bunch of other Chinese orgs. They will probably get picked up.

2023-05-25 16:29

emi and LETN1 back just like in Valiance and CR4ZY <3

Nestor "⁠LETN1⁠" Tanić (coach) gg, shuffle it again

If all they want is sticker money then it is a W

2023-05-25 16:50

Very random but gl

2023-05-25 16:51

This is gonna be tier 3 in Chinese CS lol

why summer? he's better than emi I guarantee it. he is a better caller and player. also now Slowly has to com in english? why? ROGA is such an out-of-nowhere pick up and it doesnt make sense. I know Dankiing was toxic but is you're getting an EU awper surely there are better choices. Mantuu is still available. This has to be intel just wanting to sign some balkan friends right? surely

2023-05-25 16:53

slowly knows english, comm won't be the biggest problem imo

2023-05-26 00:04

I think it's maybe all players who's benched here cant speak English

2023-05-26 10:42

maybe. still, I'd rather keep Danking and summer than get emi and ROGA

2023-05-26 14:49

GL guys

So basically letn1 staged a coup to get his Serbian friends some money, this is gonna fail so badly

2023-05-25 17:08

Tyloo was already dead, might as well drain some money from it

2023-05-25 17:27

Emi hahahahahahah

Now the bench is full

2023-05-25 16:59

Tyloo GG

2023-05-25 17:00

sk0r is good signing but not sure of this, atleast if it fails all serbians will be kicked including coaches too I would imagine

lol one of the roster of all time

2023-05-25 17:14

Wtf

2023-05-25 17:15

pathetic

2023-05-25 17:21

why?

2023-05-26 22:25

they aren't developing their own talent. it's supposed to be the chinese national team and they're outsourcing the talent. wtf man, now chinese nationalists aren't gonna buy all the tyloo stickers I have

2023-05-26 22:28

:-) :-D

2023-05-26 22:41

2023-05-25 17:46

even as someone who isn't a huge fan of Chinese CS, How can you kick the best AWPer from China ever for THIS????

2023-05-25 17:48

he wasn't kicked, he wanted a break I think

Waaaaaaat XDDDD

2023-05-25 17:51

From tier 5 to tier 4,5

didnt know balkans spoke chinese or vice versa

2023-05-25 17:57

Freeman being the only one not freed sound so weird.

2023-05-25 18:03

well thats a roster

They should sign regali instead of some random tier 5 awper

2023-05-25 18:08

I followed Partizan while they were active, have to say that Roga is actually a pretty decent player. Hopefully he'll prove himself.

2023-05-25 18:21

Tbf 1.17 average rating in eu t2 team looks promising especially if he gonna play in Asian scene

2023-05-25 22:11

They're gonna get sticker money and never reach the playoffs, taking a page from the Grayhound/Renegades playbook.

2023-05-25 19:26

renegades made 2 playoffs no?

2023-05-26 05:10

2023-05-25 20:00

Roga sick player, stats don't lie... Even on s*HT team manage on 1.14 rating But imo keep danking on the roster

2023-05-25 20:03

Now this is a roster

2023-05-26 02:46

Skor will bring lots of experience from former IHC...Not bad.. but seeing Danking go is sad. and Attacker. they are really like founders.

2023-05-26 03:29

Major spot confirmed?

2023-05-26 07:33

I would pay money to watch this team face EG, legit the chinese eg
