FlyQuest vs Tyloo: BLAST Austin Major CS2 betting guide

One of the biggest rivalries of today’s APAC Counter-Strike scene, and one of the longest-standing rivalries in Counter-Strike major history,  will add a new chapter in the BLAST Austin Major as Tyloo takes on FlyQuest.

Tyloo is a staple of Counter-Strike majors, often serving as the shoe-in representative of its region. FlyQuest is in the same boat, albeit as the latest organization to sponsor the top Australian stack. While they often wash out early, one of them is now guaranteed to advance into the second group stage. The other, however, is heading home.

FlyQuest vs Tyloo match overview

• Tournament: BLAST Austin Major
• Stage: Group Stage 1
• Game: Counter-Strike 2
• Format: Best-of-three

Betting tip: Tyloo has been downright bullying FlyQuest throughout 2025, so take a hard look at lines favoring the Chinese squad.

FlyQuest vs Tyloo in-depth team, match analysis

Longtime Counter-Strike fans have cause to be skeptical of Tyloo. The organization has appeared in many majors throughout Counter-Strike history. More often than not, the team is among the early washouts from the first group stage. That isn’t exclusive to majors either, extending to basically any prominent tournament that had a Chinese qualifier tournament.

Things have turned around a bit in 2025, though. While Tyloo has primarily competed in regional leagues in 2025, its found its way into some big tournaments, too. Not only that, it has found wins against some very credible opposition. Their primary victim, in fact, has been FlyQuest.

LOSER IS OUT! Complexity vs TYLOO – Official Highlights – BLAST Austin Major 2025 Stage 1

While the longstanding rivalry of Tyloo vs Renegades, 100 Thieves, Extremum, et al has historically favored the Australians, Tyloo has been dominating things in 2025. For whatever reason, Jay “Liazz” Tregillgas in particular has struggled in these matches, contributing to three tough losses in the year so far.

Because of that, and Liazz’s middling performance in the major to this point, it’s worth putting the memories of past Tyloo stumbles behind you.

Best picks

• Tyloo wins @ 2.16 – While Counter-Strike fans reflexively doubt the abilities of Chinese teams after years of washing out of majors, Tyloo has beaten FlyQuest three times on LAN this year.
• Tyloo wins 2-0 @ 3.76 – That’s what happened the last time these two teams played and a 3.76 line is generous enough to take a look at.
• Map 1 goes over 20.5 rounds @ 1.5 – Maps between these two teams typically go relatively long. Something like maps going over 20.5 rounds is a decent addition to parlays.
• Map 1 correct pistol round score 2-0 FlyQuest @ 3.47 – FlyQuest is lowkey very good in pistol rounds, and should have a clear edge over Tyloo in this area.

Prediction

Tyloo wins 2-0
