How the bookies view it: Tyloo favourite
The match hasn't even started yet, and already we can be surprised. In the duel between Tyloo and Heroic, the Chinese from Tyloo will be the favourite. This is really sensational to me, but that's the reality.
In fact, I don't quite understand how Tyloo, who went through Stage 1 with a score of 3-2, have odds of around 1.7 to win, while Heroic, who went through Stage 1 with a score of 3-0, have something in the region of 2.3. All in all, this betting tip promises to be The International heresy.
Tyloo form. What result can be expected from Tyloo
We open our betting tip on Tyloo vs Heroic with an analysis of Tyloo form.
Among the big results, if that's what it can be called, is an appearance at ESL Pro League Season 19 and a subsequent top-28 finish there. In fact, it was the only TIR-S tournament Tyloo played in 2 seasons.
- Tyloo roster: JamYoung, Moseyuh, Mercury, Jee.
In the 2025 season, the team played in all sorts of local tournaments. There was an appearance, for example, at the eXTREMEMESLAND 2024 Championship with a prize pool of $100,000. There, Tyloo took TOP-8, which is not a good result if you want it to be.
From the relatively successful indicators - passing OPEN qualification at the Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2025 in the Asian region, but then there were closed qualifiers and TOP-4, and therefore did not enter the tournament.
In addition, they performed at BLAST Rising Asia Spring 2024, where they showed a standard performance. TOP 8.
ESL Pro League Season 21 right from the start was one of the best tournaments in the club's history. The Chinese team outplayed 3DMax and Eternal Fire, which has already surpassed all expectations. In the match for the next stage they lost to GamerLegion. Then Ledge and MIBR, but in the decisive match they were stronger than FlyQuest, thus qualifying for the next stage. However, Tyloo did not manage to hold on to the high places: according to the results of ESL Pro League Season 21, the team finished in the top 16.

HEROIC form. What result can be expected from Heroic
We continue to watch Heroic vs Tyloo match with the analysis of Heroic form.
Heroic looked very good in the 2023 season. They were constantly playing in TIR-S tournaments and were a significant force.
Heroic had a streak of excellent tournaments. It was top 2 at IEM Rio 2023, top 4 at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 and IEM Dallas 2023. Heroic went on to win the BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2023 and also finished in the top 3 of the BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023
- Heroic roster: SunPayus, LNZ, yxngstxr, xfl0ud, tN1R.
Before their performance at Gamers8 Heroic attended another prestigious tournament - IEM Cologne. Being one of the main contenders to win the German tournament, the Danes made it to the play-offs of the competition, but there they couldn't move further than the first round. Heroic lost to Astralis in the first round of the IEM Cologne play-offs with a score of 0-2.
At Gamers8 they debuted with a match against Falcons. In general, the game ended predictably, but the French gave a fight, especially on the first map (Mirage 22-18 in favour of Heroic). The second one went to Heroic with the score 16-10.
In the previous match Heroic met GamerLegion. Despite GL's seemingly idle position in that match, they were able to grind the nerves of the Danes and take the map, but still lost in the end.
Heroic finished off Gamers8 with a match against ENCE. The Danish club again failed to beat the Finns and left the major championship at the top-4 stage.
In the first match at ESL Pro League Season 18, the team played against Rooster. The Australians offered no resistance and took 6 rounds in two games.
Next was BIG - another passable opponent for Heroic, but it was not to be. The Danes lost 0-2, losing on Ancient with a score of 23-25 and on Inferno with a score of 13-16.
Heroic got into the last chance net after a 0-2 loss at MOUZ. So from the "achievements" so far, a win over the raw Roosters and that's it. It looks very deplorable. And it ended no better: Heroic Ledge and Monte crashed out of ESL Pro League Season 18.
Next up was Roobet Cup 2023, where Heroic finished in the top 12. After unsatisfactory performance at EPL and Roobet Cup Heroic played not better at Thunderpick World Championship 2023 and BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2023. There, it was top-8 and top-6 respectively.
Heroic face many challenges in the 2024 season. They still attend top tournaments, but the performance is much worse: Top-16 at BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2024, Top-8 at IEM Chengdu 2024, Top-28 at ESL Pro League Season 9, Top-6 at IEM Dallas 2024 and Top-8 at YaLLa Compass 2024.
Later, the series of appearances at various championships continued, with Heroic playing at both BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2024 (Top 12) and IEM Cologne 2024 (Top 20) and BLAST Premier: Fall Showdown 2024 (Top 16). In October 2024 Heroic were close to finally taking the championship title, reaching the final of Elisa Masters Espoo 2024, but Ledgeili ENCE in the grand final.
Before appearing at European RMR B, Heroic played at Thunderpick World Championship 2024, where they finished top 2, losing to MongolZ in the grand final.
At European RMR B, Heroic Long Sogpeg started with a win against PARIVISION. Next was a loss to BIG, followed by a win against NiP. At PW Shanghai Major 2024 they qualified thanks to a win over Passion UA.
Going straight into the Elimination Stage, Heroic beat BIG and FaZe on their way to the basket 2-0. In the match to advance to the play-offs Heroic Ledge or MongolZ. In the play-offs match Ledge and Spirit. However, they managed to pass to the main stage after defeating the reigning world champions NaVi. However, in the first match of the play-offs Heroic were defeated by G2, who knocked Heroic out of the championship race.
In the 2025 season, Heroic attended BLAST Bounty Spring 2025, where they finished in the top 8. This was followed by an appearance at IEM Katowice 2025 with an even more disappointing result, and more specifically a top-20 finish.
In the course of ESL Pro League Season 21 Heroic were 1-1. Later, after a loss to 3DMax, they found themselves in a 1-2 tie, but after that Ledge went 1-2 and finished the tournament at the Top-22 stage.

The main stars of the match should be xfl0ud and JamYoung, who show a high personal level during BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025. However, Heroic and Tyloo are 1-2 in the basket, so we still shouldn't expect an exorbitant level of performance.
