TYLOO withdraw from BLAST Bounty S2

BLAST have announced that TYLOO are withdrawing from the second iteration of BLAST Bounty. TYLOO were set to start in Stage 1 of BLAST Bounty 2025 Season 2 alongside 31 other teams in a Ro32. A couple of wins in the single-elimination bo3 bracket will confirm teams a LAN final slot. The $500,000 USD LAN Final is set to take place in Malta in the third week of August.

The next in line in the Global VRS, OG have been confirmed as TYLOO's replacement. The Chinese side have not given a statement yet regarding their withdrawal but the community suspects that the Chinese side had little to no incentive coming out of the online stage with no prize pool, netting a VRS impact of less than 20%.

TYLOO have been in Europe for a quite a while now. The Chinese team recently clinched a big title win at FISSURE Playground 1 and are now battling it out at IEM Cologne 2025. After going down to Virtus.pro in the opening round, TYLOO lock horns with Complexity to stay alive at IEM Cologne 2025. The excruciating travel schedule could also be a reason for TYLOO's withdrawal. TYLOO recently flew in from Belgrade to Cologne and if they were to qualify for the LAN stage, they need to head down to Malta from Cologne.
