Renegades have been crowned champions of the FACEIT Major Asia Minor after defeating TYLOO 2-0 (16-12 on Train, 16-8 on Inferno).

The title decider kicked off on Train, Renegades' map pick, with Ke "⁠captainMo⁠" Liu and HaoWen "⁠somebody⁠" Xu finding a double and a triple-kill, respectively, to win the CT pistol for their team. After building up their economy, Renegades won the first gun round, which they followed up with another thanks to a 1v2 clutch from Noah "⁠Nifty⁠" Francis.

The Australian side went on to take the lead at 5-3, but TYLOO then equalized the score with two successful rounds, the first of which on the back of an ace from Hansel "⁠BnTeT⁠" Ferdinand. Both teams then won two rounds each, and Renegades picked up the 15th round to lead 8-7 by half-time.

In the second half, Renegades further added to their lead, 11-8, despite losing an anti-eco in the process. TYLOO responded well, losing a single round of the next five to level up the score, but then the Australian squad strung four rounds together fairly easily, taking the lead in the series with a 16-12 scoreline.

Renegades win the Asia Minor for the third time in a row

Inferno, TYLOO's pick, was the map that followed, and it began with Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad clutching an impressive 1v3 post-plant situation. In a third-round buy, TYLOO could not get through their opponents' defence, who then saw Justin "⁠jks⁠" Savage come up huge with back-to-back quad-kills to lead his team to a 5-0 score.

In the seventh round, TYLOO were finally able to win their first round of the map with BnTeT and Hui "⁠DD⁠" Wu turning a 2v4 situation around, in part thanks to a triple-kill from the Indonesian. Still, Renegades immediately countered the Asian team, who were only able to win two more rounds until half-time.

Now playing as Terrorists, Renegades won their third pistol of the series with a double and a triple-kill from Nifty and jkaem, respectively, to go up 13-3. TYLOO simply could not stop their opponents from hitting match-point, but they still tried to accomplish a comeback. by reaching their seventh round.

That was when Renegades called for a tactical pause, however, and sealed the deal after building up their economy, 16-8.
