TYLOO vs Trace Esports Betting Predictions
TYLOO and Trace Esports will face off on Sunday, July 12, in the opening week of the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) 2026 China Stage 2, marking their first clash since the Kickoff event.
TYLOO enter the final stage of the season looking to build on the success they accomplished in Stage 1, when they pushed to a fifth-sixth place finish and have since placed fourth in the China EVO series A2. However, they still have a lot more to prove as TYLOO look to establish themselves as one of China’s elite.
On paper, TYLOO appear stronger, yet Trace Esports, even without any major roster adjustments, should at the very least present themselves as a competitive opponent who will not go down without a fight.
- The teams have looked roughly equal this season
- TYLOO are expected to win on Sunday
- Trace Esports are no pushovers and can force a close game

TYLOO With High Expectations
TYLOO have not found a lot of success this season, with a sixth-place finish in VCT China Kickoff and fifth-sixth in Stage 1. With those results, they’ve fallen short of expectations as a team who were expected to compete for the VCT China title, granted TYLOO were never considered one of the elite teams.
For Stage 2, they’ve brought in siuFatBB, who is a massive addition, having spent the last two years on Wolves Esports, with whom he’s gained a lot of international experience.
The Hong Kongese in-game leader has notably placed third in VALORANT Masters Toronto 2025, and while his success with Wolves this year has been nonexistent, siuFatBB still brings a lot to the team.
SiuFatBB’s contributions have yet to be on full this display this stage, however, TYLOO started the stage with a comfortable win over JD Gaming, which is a promising sign.

Trace Are No Pushovers
Trace Esports have proven themselves as a fairly competitive team this season. They have yet to win anything, but have placed seventh-eighth in China Kickoff and Stage 1, as well as fifth-eighth in the VALORANT China Evolution Series Act 2 in May.
As a mid-table team, Trace Esports have had their moments, yet the lack of any notable achievements begs the question of whether Trace have what it takes to push for a podium finish in Stage 2. And with no roster changes, things are unlikely to improve for Trace, who are bound to remain a mid-table, good but not great team.
