This matchup comes down to one question: which version of Sharks shows up? The team that upset HEROIC in Round 1 can absolutely win this series. The team that got dismantled by Lynn Vision a few days later probably doesn’t.

That’s why TYLOO get the nod here. Their tournament hasn’t been pretty either, but losing to B8 and MIBR is far easier to forgive than Sharks’ recent performances. More importantly, TYLOO finally looked comfortable against SINNERS and showed the kind of composure expected from a roster with Major experience.

Jee and JamYoung remain the obvious difference-makers from what we’ve seen in Cologne. When they’re finding impact early, TYLOO become a completely different team. Sharks have enough aggressive players to make maps messy, but over a full best-of-three, TYLOO’s experience and stronger individual quality should be enough to survive.
