Yesterday, we saw the second round of the LCS playoffs, where Cloud9 were facing off Flyquest, which had just advanced after winning versus Evil Geniuses. After an intense sequence of close games, Flyquest defeat Cloud9 and end the series 3-1 which got them a spot at the 2020 World Championship.
Flyquest defeat Cloud9 and achieve Worlds spot – How did they do it?
Heading into the match, even though Cloud9 were not performing as well as they were at the start of the split, they were still heavily favoured. Flyquest had certainly been showing that they have what it takes to take down a team like Cloud9, especially after that victory versus Evil Geniuses.
Game 1
Starting the first match of the series, the game was pretty even. Up until Flyquest’s jungler, Santorin started dominating the enemy team with his Lillia pick. After that, they had a huge lead in the game, which led to a very easy teamfight for Flyquest.
Game 2
In Game 2, Flyquest were in the lead for most of the match. However after they made a decision to engage Cloud9 while they were taking Dragon, they lost all their members, and the game.
Game 3
Game 3 was far closer than any games yet. After back and forth duels, Flyquest decided to take Baron, which opens up Cloud9’s base, leading to Flyquest’s victory.
Final Game – Game 4
The Final game of the series started off with Cloud9 getting picked off by Flyquest members. Then came a couple of teamfights around the dragon pit, and ultimately, after Flyquest took down the Baron, they moved on to Cloud9’s base, to crush down anything that went in their path to secure the Victory.
What’s next for Flyquest?
Their most recent roster change in the Top lane, replacing Viper with Solo, definitely paid off in the long run. Flyquest has been working very hard to be where they are right now, and it is definitely deserved. Can’t wait to see what they’ll be achieve in the final stages of the LCS playoffs, and in Worlds.
