TyLoo has managed to defend their championship at the ECL 2012 Season 4 finals yesterday by defeating ZINCTHAI 16-8 in the grand final on de_dust2 to win 10,000 RMB (~$1,570).

The season 4 finals of eSports Champion League 2012 took place this past weekend in Beijing, China, with TyLoo, ZINCTHAI, ETeng and New4 participating after having qualified online.

After two weeks of online qualification and the aforementioned teams qualifying, both ETeng and New4 had to withdraw from the event due to K1 League Season 2 currently taking place in Shanghai.

Replacement teams were zzcy and SESP, but the latter were unable to make the trip to Beijing and as a result only three teams participated in this season's finals.

The double-elimination bracket started with zzcy defeating ZINCTHAI 16-11 on de_nuke, only to lose against favorites TyLoo 12-16 on de_nuke. In a rematch of the first round, zzcy came up short 4-16 on the same map.

The grand finals took place on de_dust2 with TyLoo coming in from the upper bracket and only requiring one win to clinch the title. The defending champions wasted no time, as they defeated ZINCTHAI 16-8.
