The Vietnamese side win the $2,000 online tournament titled "Rising Stars Asia #1," triumphing over TyLoo in the grand final 2-0.

Rising Stars Asia is a $2,000 venture into the Asian continent by Efrag.net, meant to highlight some of the best teams from that region. The event was sponsored by GIGABYTE and ran from April 17-19.

Teams from China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia fought it out in a single-elimination bracket, however it was the Vietnamese Skyred who advanced through an all-Chinese side of the bracket to reach the grand final, where TyLoo was waiting.

Skyred's cLb played like a monster in the grand finals

The famed organisation TyLoo were no match for the Vietnamese in the grand final with fraggers Hoang "⁠cLb⁠" Nguyen Vu and Ngoc "⁠Zac⁠" Thien Nguyen in particular delivering monstrous performances.

Although de_dust2 finished in Skyred's favour with a respectable 16:11 scoreline, TyLoo looked particularly vulnerable to Skyred's aggression on de_cache (losing frequent ecos for example), and the map ended with a 16:3 dominanace in Skyred's favour.

The final prize-pool breakdown following this grand final is therefore:

1. Skyred - $1,500
2. TyLoo - $500
