TYLOO and Rare Atom reach IEM Beijing 2026 upper-bracket final
TYLOO and Rare Atom have secured their spots in the upper-bracket final of the IEM Beijing 2026 Asian Qualifier playoffs. Both teams won their first two series of the tournament, advancing to the final stage without dropping a single map.
TYLOO opened their playoff campaign with a 2-0 victory over Kaleido in the upper-bracket quarterfinal. They followed this up with another clean 2-0 sweep of DEPO in the semifinal, remaining undefeated through their first two playoff series.
Rare Atom also started with a 2-0 win, eliminating Lynn Vision in the quarterfinals. Their path to the final was less straightforward, as they had to overcome FlyQuest in a closer 2-1 semifinal contest to keep their direct route to the grand final intact.
The upper-bracket final is scheduled for September 3 at 12:00. The winner will advance directly to the grand final, while the loser will drop into the lower bracket to fight for a second chance at the tournament's final match.
Meanwhile, FlyQuest and DEPO have moved into the lower bracket. They will face Kaleido and Lynn Vision respectively in the lower-bracket quarterfinals, both matches scheduled for September 3 at 09:00. The playoffs will conclude with the grand final on September 4 at 15:00.
