TYLOO Expands to Six-Man CS:GO Roster as BnTeT Returns After Two Years

The Indonesian star rifler, Hansel "BnTeT" Ferdinand, has returned to TYLOO after more than two years. The 26-year-old confirmed that he would be acting as the IGL (In-Game Leader) for the side going ahead, taking over the responsibilities from YuLun "Summer" Cai.

With this signing, the Chinese esports organization has expanded its CS:GO lineup to a six-man roster for now, excluding their head coach LiKan "KingZ" Luo. It is unclear if TYLOO will be proceeding with this extended lineup or will they eventually drop a player, as no other official announcement has come forward except for BnTeT's arrival.

So far TYLOO has performed well this season. With lots of tournaments and qualifiers lined up for the year ahead, it will be interesting to see if they can continue being the face of Asian Counter-Strike.

TYLOO signs BnTeT as the IGL of its CS:GO team

BnTeT, after spending more than two years playing CS:GO outside of Asia, competing alongside international organizations like Gen.G Esports and EXTREMUM, has now returned home to TYLOO.

In December 2019, the Indonesian rifler, who is also a revered captain within Asia, was signed by the North American esports organization Gen.G Esports. The team started off strong by winning the DreamHack Open Anaheim 2020 but by the end of the competitive season, the lineup had started to fall apart.

BnTeT was acquired by EXTREMUM in January 2021, where he was joined by members of the former 100 Thieves lineup. The roster was competing in Europe, but despite grinding for a whole year they fell short of achieving their goals, forcing the organization to bench everyone.

Now, three months later BnTeT has been signed by his former team TYLOO, with whom he had previously competed from March 2017 to December 2019. During that time, TYLOO had managed to become the face of Asian Counter-Strike with BnTeT as their ace rifler and captain.

Announcing his arrival, BnTeT confirmed that he would be taking charge of TYLOO's roster for the 2022 season as the lineup expands to a six-man team. The organization has already managed to win ESL Challenger League Season 40: Asia-Pacific - Open Qualifier #1, while also attaining a third place finish at the recently concluded eXTREMESLAND Festival 2021.

TYLOO under its new leadership will be seen in action for the first time at the upcoming ESL Challenger League Season 40: Asia-Pacific which is scheduled to take place from 8^th February to 3^rd April.
