Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We continue to watch the events of ESL Pro League Season 21. The next iteration of the famous and one of the longest tournaments of the season.
ESL Pro League Season 21 will feature 24 teams, 16 of which will begin their journey to the grand prize in the first stage, the Swiss-system group stage, if you will. The grand prize is $100,000 to the winner of the tournament.
Among the contenders for the next stage of the tournament, and then look and win, are 3DMax and Tyloo. They will play each other on the first day of ESL Pro League Season 1, and we will try to understand what to expect from their meeting.
Let's go.
3DMax form
We open the analysis of the match 3DMax – Tyloo with an analysis of the game form of 3DMax. In this match, the French club plays first number, and the odds for their victory from bookmakers are around 1.1
3DMAX's track record includes a performance at CCT West Europe Serie #3, which was the debut tournament for the French team. There they reached the TOP-3, which can be called a good start.
Then there was a series of qualifiers and local championships. Among those that can be noted is the ESL Championnat National Spring 2023, which became the first tournament won by the French.
In the second half of the year, 3DMAX's performance improved. Among other things, they won the qualifiers for the ESL Challenger at DreamHack Winter 2023: European Open Qualifier and the ESL Challenger at DreamHack Winter 2023: European Qualifier. They also won the ESEA Cash Cup: Europe - Autumn 2023 #2.
- 3DMAX composition: Lucky, Djoko, Ex3rcice, Maka, Graviti.
The last event for 3DMAX was the CCT East Europe Series #3 championship. There they managed to reach the TOP-2, but it was not enough: 3DMAX took the TOP-2, losing in the final to 1WIN.
After 3DMAX, we played at ESL Challenger Winter 2023. We managed to get into the TOP-8, which in general can’t be called a good result.
At ESL Challenger League Season 46: Europe, 3DMAX were shining. The French team walked over their opponents with great confidence, which ultimately resulted in the victory of the tournament with a confident 3-0 victory against forZe in the grand final.
The 2024 season saw far fewer big wins. 3DMAX took the TOP-11 at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European Qualifier, IEM China 2024: European Open Qualifier, TOP-4 at RES Western European Masters: Spring 2024, and TOP-12 at European RMR A.
Before performing at ESL Pro League Season 19, 3DMAX played at A1 Gaming League Season 8, where they took TOP-2.
At ESL Pro League Season 19 itself, 3DMAX debuted as an underdog in a match against sAw, but showed their class and won a tough series with extra rounds on each of the two maps. Then came the match against Fnatic, where 3DMAX made a mini-sensation by beating the “orange” team with a score of 2-0, and they beat them quite confidently, giving up 15 rounds over two maps.
At ESL Pro League Season 19, 3DMAX made it to the playoffs of the championship quite confidently. The only defeat in the group stage was from Astralis in the match for seeding in the playoffs. However, 3DMax's song did not play for long in the playoffs: a defeat against G2 and the TOP-12 in the end.
During the season, 3DMax had other attempts to make a name for themselves at the Tier-S title tournaments. For example, they played at Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2024, where they took TOP-24, being eliminated by Heroic with a score of 1-2. They tried their luck again at ESL Pro League Season 20, but this time the result was worse than at ESL Pro League S19 – TOP-20.
3DMax's performance was much better at lower-ranked tournaments. For example, 3DMax became the champions of YaLLa Compass Summer 2024 and took the TOP-3 at Thunderpick World Championship 2024 and ESL Challenger League Season 48: Europe.
Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR B, 3DMax with a win over TSM, and then, somewhat surprisingly, beat Eternal Fire in the basket match 2-0. Then – a win over G2 Esports and advancement to the Elimination Stage.
Directly at the PW Shanghai Major 2024: Elimination Stage 3DMax played at their level: 1-3 and the final TOP-13.
At the start of the 2025 season, 3DMax took part in BLAST Bounty Season 1. However, they didn’t have to play there for long: they lost to Heroic with a score of 1-2 and ended up in the TOP-32.
Next up is IEM Katowice 2025 and the start of the Play-In stage. 3DMax showed themselves very well in the Play-In, beating FlyQuest and MIBR with a score of 2-0 each. In the group stage, they started with a loss to Vitality, which brought them to the lower bracket. In the lower bracket, 3DMax beat BIG. But Eternal Fire did not allow them to advance further, knocking 3DMax into the TOP-8 of the tournament.
PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025 started with a victory over Vp. Then they lost to MOUZ and beat MIBR. However, they failed to reach the playoffs with a score of 2-1: subsequent losses to Eternal Fire and sAw brought 3DMax to the TOP-9 at the end of the tournament.
Mappool 3DMAX
The TOP 1 3DMAX card for the last 3 months is Mirage. L4O has a mind-blowing 92% win rate in 13 games.
We also played on Inferno, where we won 5 matches out of 7 games. In a positive win rate and Nuke, where we won 3 out of 5 matches.
The least preferred map for 3DMAX will be Vertigo. They have 6 maps there and only 1 win.
Tyloo Form
We continue watching the Tyloo – 3DMax match with an analysis of Tyloo’s game form. In this match, the Chinese club plays as an absolute underdog with a win odds of around 5.
Tyloo's position in the upcoming match is not surprising. Among the few teams from Asia on the professional scene. Compared to the same Lynn Vision and The MongolZ, Tyloo does not stand out for its effectiveness.
Among the major results, if you can call it that, is the performance at ESL Pro League Season 19 and the subsequent TOP-28 there. In fact, this was the only TIR-S tournament where Tyloo played in 2 seasons.
- Tyloo lineup: JamYoung, Moseyuh, Mercury, Jee.
In the 2025 season, the team played in all sorts of local tournaments. For example, there was a performance at the eXTREMESLAND 2024 championship with a prize fund of $100,000. There, Tyloo took the TOP-8, which is not a good result by any stretch of the imagination.
One of the relatively successful indicators is passing the OPEN qualification for Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2025 in the Asian region, but then there were closed qualifiers and TOP-4, and therefore no entry to the tournament.
In addition, they performed at BLAST Rising Asia Spring 2024, where they showed their standard performance. TOP-8.
Tyloo Mappool
The best map for Tyloo is Ancient. There Tyloo won 3 maps out of 3 played. Of the frequently played ones – Overpass – where they played 11 matches, of which they won 9.
The pool includes a decent Anubis (3-1 in maps), Mirage (6 wins in 9 matches) and Inferno (7 wins in 11 games).
The worst pick for Wildcard is Vertigo, which has a 44% win rate with 9 matches.
Personal History Tyloo – 3DMax
The teams have not played each other in official matches before. This match will be the debut face-to-face meeting of the clubs.
Predicted 3DMax vs Tyloo Match Result at ESL Pro League Season 21
In this match, my bet is definitely on 3DMax. Unlike Tyloo, they have real experience playing at the highest level and know how to lose even to top teams, not to mention teams like Tyloo. There should be a confident 2-0 in favor of the French.
Result: 3DMax wins 2-0.
