Welcome to EGamersWorld.
One of the longest running tournaments on the Counter-Strike 2 competitive scene, ESL Pro League Season 21, is heating up. We look at what's happening in the first stage, where 16 teams are battling for 8 spots in the next stage.
GamerLegion and TYLOO are among the contenders to move on. Both teams are 2-0 in the standings of the first round of ESL Pro League Season 21 and after this match someone from the TYLOO/GamerLegion pairing will move on.
We are trying to figure out who from the pair GamerLegion - TYLOO will be stronger and will pass to the next stage of ESL Pro League Season 21, and who will have to continue the battles in the basket 2-1.
Let's go.
GamerLegion uniforms
Let's open the analysis of the match GamerLegion - TYLOO with the analysis of GL's form. In this match they are playing as favourites with odds to win at around 1.5.
GamerLegion have not shown much hope in 2023. They played well at local events like Thunderpick Bitcoin Series #2 where they won, CCT West Europe Series #1 where they finished in the top 2, RES Western European Masters: Spring 2023 with another top 2.
There was also TOP-1 at Elisa Invitational Winter 2023, but the main achievement happened in May this year. It was then that GamerLegion defied logic and made it to the grand final of BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where they defeated the hosts Vitality.
- GamerLegion lineup: volt, sl3nd, Tauson, PR, ztr.
After a great injury in Paris, GamerLegion lost two of their headliners - siuhy and iM. New arrivals neaLaN and volt are not yet reaching the level of the top 2 Major a, and their KDs are eloquent: 0.64 for the former and 0.78 for the latter.
The first match at IEM Cologne 2023 was against Monte. The Ukrainian club was head to head and shut down their vis-a-vis with a score of 2-0 (16-8 Mirage, 16-11 Overpass).
GamerLegion managed to switch on at the last moment. In the match against TheMongolZ, on the first map GL Ledge were 8-16 up on Mirage, but cameback Inferno (16-8), and closed the series on the dopes with Overpass (19-15).
The International was even more interesting against fnatic. On the first map Vertigo GL lost with the score 5-16, but on Inferno GamerLegion played 16-12, and on Ancient they closed the dopes with the score 19-17.
As a result, IEM Cologne 2023 ended with GL in 8th place. They were knocked out by Cloud9, but the result is a good one considering the lineup change.
At Gamers8 Long Sogpeg were matched against Apeks, the other opener of the Paris Major. Both maps gave GL a serious headache, but after dopes on Mirage and a close fight on Overpass GL made it to the next round. However, that's where GL's G8 journey ended at the Top 8, when they lost to Heroic 1-2.
GamerLegion later attended ESL Pro League Season 18 and IEM Sydney 2023. Both tournaments didn't go well: top-20 at EPL, top-8 at IEM Sydney.
ESL Challenger Jonkoping 2023 GL is going pretty well. First Ledge beat MIBR 9-13, and then beat 3DMAX 2-1 in the match for life. With a race left, GL made it to the top 6, but there Ledgeili Vp.
Towards the end of the year Gamer Legion played at Elisa Masters Espoo 2023, where they got to the top 6, BB Dacha (top 8) and ESL Challenger at DreamHack Atlanta. Top 8 there again.
There were two big tournaments in the 2024 season before RMR's Long Sogpeg - BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2024 and IEM Katowice 2024. Both GL championships finished in the top 12, which I would call a pretty good result.
At PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European RMR B GL Long Sogpeg started with a no-hitter against VItality (3-13) before beating Pera (13-6) and losing to ENCE (14-16) on dps. Later Ledgealy and Heroic, as well as 9Pandas in the Decider match, after which they were unable to go to the Major.
However, they ended up in Copenhagen, because 9Pandas couldn't get visas for travelling to Denmark. GamerLegion looked good in Copenhagen, but it was not enough to pass in Elimination Stage, and GL's way at the first ever Major tournament on Counter-Strike ended on 17-19th line.
GamerLegion also played at ESL Pro League Season 19, where they finished in the top 16. They also played at BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2024, where they could not jump above the top-16.
After ESL Pro League Season 19 GL could not return to playing in TIR-S tournaments. Their maximum in terms of performance was TOP-1 at CCT Season 2 European Series #13.
At Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR A, GamerLegion Long Cogped 0-2, losing to Vitality and Dynamo Eclot. But then cameback with wins over Unity Esports and Falcons and eventually made it to the PW Shanghai Major 2024: Opening Stage after beating BB.
Shanghai Major 2024: Opening Stage GL Long They started off with a win over FURIA. Then defeated another Brazilian, paiN, then lost to MongolZ, but then beat Passion UA in the exit match.
At PW Shanghai Major 2024: Elimination Long, they defeated Vitality and Liquid, and in the match for life they defeated Wildcard. However, after reaching the Elimination Stage of the tournament, GL didn't have time to play, finishing in the top 14.
In the 2025 season, like most of the teams at the top of Valve's rankings, Long Competed in BLAST Bounty Season 1, where they finished in the top 17-17-32.
As ESL Pro League Season 21 progressed, GamerLegion confidently Long Converged with wins over NRG and MIBR.

There was also Ancient with 2 wins and 1 loss. Still have Mirage in the pool (57% wins in 7 matches).
On Inferno they are 2-2. Nuke has 1 try and a loss.
Not playing on Anubis and Vertigo.
TYLOO Form
We continue the TYLOO vs GamerLegion match with the analysis of TYLOO's form. In this match they are playing as an outsider with odds to win at 2.4.
Tyloo's position in the upcoming match is not surprising. Among the few teams from Asia on the professional scene. Compared to the likes of Lynn Vision and The MongolZ, Tyloo don't stand out for their performance.
Among the big results, if you can call it that, 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.
Tyloo Mappool
The best map for Tyloo is Ancient. Tyloo won 3 maps out of 3 played there. The most frequently played map is Overpass - where they played 11 maps and won 9 of them.
In the pool there is a good Anubis (3-1 on maps), Mirage (6 wins in 9 matches) and Inferno (7 wins in 11 games).
The worst choice for Wildcard is Vertigo. It has a 44% win rate with 9 matches
History of head-to-head meetings GamerLegion - TYLOO
Previously, the teams have not played each other in official matches.
Predicted result of TYLOO vs GamerLegion at ESL Pro League Season 21
Judging by the way GamerLegion and TYLOO played in their previous matches, we should expect a very interesting game at The International. However, I think TYLOO have already surpassed all expectations and with the score 3-0 will not pass to the next stage.
Bottom line: GamerLegion wins.
