FlyQuest pulled off a stunning victory against Cloud9 in round two of the League of Legends<\/a> Championship Series (LCS) Summer Playoffs, securing their place at the 2024 LoL World Championship alongside Team Liquid.<\/p>\n

This marks FlyQuest’s first World Championship appearance in four years, and they did it in style, taking down one of the LCS\u2019s most storied teams.<\/p>\n

FlyQuest\u2019s journey to this victory wasn\u2019t straightforward.<\/p>\n

After finishing third in the LCS Summer<\/a> regular season with a 5-2 record, FlyQuest fell to Cloud9 0-2 on the final day.<\/p>\n

However, their thirst for revenge was evident in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Despite losing the first game of the series, FlyQuest looked dominant throughout, nearly clinching the win in map one before Cloud9 managed a narrow comeback.<\/p>\n

From that point on, it was all FlyQuest.<\/p>\n

In the following maps, FlyQuest took control, winning maps two and three in long but convincing fashion.<\/p>\n

The final map, however, was a masterclass in dominance.<\/p>\n

FlyQuest dismantled Cloud9 in just 26 minutes with a perfect 14-0 kill score, leaving Cloud9 without a single kill.<\/p>\n

A significant contributor to FlyQuest\u2019s victory was mid laner Song “Quad” Su-hyeong, who celebrated his 22nd birthday by putting on an exceptional performance.<\/p>\n

Quad achieved a 25-5 kill\/death score over the series, with a standout nine-kill performance in Game 2 on Smolder.<\/p>\n

His 81% kill participation underscored his critical role in FlyQuest’s success.<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t just Quad who shone.<\/p>\n

Top laner Gabri\u00ebl “Bwipo” Rau rebounded from a difficult start to hold his own in a Renekton vs. K\u2019Sante battle against C9\u2019s Park “Thanatos” Seung-gyu.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, jungler Kacper “Inspired” S\u0142oma secured a crucial baron steal on map three, shifting the momentum decisively in FlyQuest\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n

After the match, Inspired highlighted the team\u2019s growth in coordination, stating, \u201cThe team is finally doing only coordinated plays; in this game and the whole series, we never took a fight when we didn\u2019t need to.\u201d<\/p>\n

This win sends FlyQuest to the upper bracket final against Team Liquid on Saturday, August 31.<\/p>\n

Although their primary goal of reaching LoL Worlds<\/a> is secured, FlyQuest is far from complacent.<\/p>\n

Inspired acknowledged the challenge ahead, noting that Team Liquid is equally adept at controlled gameplay, making their upcoming match anything but easy.<\/p>\n
