ESL Challenger League Season 49 Asia-Pacific Playoffs: Day 2 Recap
The second day's action at the ESL Challenger League Season 49 Asia-Pacific Playoffs saw two upper bracket semi-finals take place and two teams head home from the lower bracket games as well.
Here's a quick look at the day's results.
Upper Bracket
TYLOO 2 - 1 
Chinggis Warriors
The big clash of the day saw TYLOO take on Chinggis Warriors with TYLOO stealing the Mongolian side's pick of Nuke 13-9 to start the upper bracket semi-final. A strong CT half helped Chinggis Warriors reply back on Inferno with a 13-9 win of their own to push the map to a decider.
A sloppy CT half where TYLOO dropped multiple man-advantage rounds saw Chinggis Warriors race away to a 9-3 lead on their T side on Anubis. Despite losing the second half pistol, a force buy win got TYLOO's comeback going and the Chinese team pulled it all the way to push it to overtime. TYLOO stuck the full comeback as a clean overtime performance saw them win Anubis at 16-12 to take the series 2-1.
The win sees TYLOO set up an upper bracket final clash against Lynn Vision while Chinggis Warriors drop to the lower bracket and will take on -72c in the lower semi-final.
