Match 1: FlyQuest's Surprise Strategy

FlyQuest entered the quarterfinals with a unique strategy, surprising everyone by picking Seraphine for the mid-lane. The question was whether they could deal enough damage to defeat Gen.G.

At first, Gen.G secured a void grub but had to step back and let FlyQuest take the rest. FlyQuest came in confidently, and after Gen.G's mid-laner Chovy missed a key ability, FlyQuest capitalized, scoring three kills around the void grubs. Inspired from FlyQuest got the first kill of the game.

Despite Gen.G's efforts, they lost a key fight, leaving FlyQuest to take objectives and gain a lead. FlyQuest controlled the map well, dominating the mid-lane and securing the drake, giving them a gold advantage. FlyQuest maintained control throughout, even as Baron didn't go perfectly for them. Eventually, they claimed the soul point and steamrolled through the mid-lane, winning the first game. It was the first time in six years that a North American (NA) team took a game off a Korean team at Worlds.

Match 2: Gen.G Strikes Back

In the second match, Gen.G’s Chovy on Kassadin struggled early on, but Gen.G played confidently. A clean dive resulted in Ashe securing a kill on Renekton, and Kassadin survived a FlyQuest dive thanks to his shield. Gen.G took control, securing early objectives like the void grubs while FlyQuest took the drake.

Peyz from Gen.G secured a massive triple kill, boosting his team's lead. Gen.G’s dominance became too much for FlyQuest to handle, and with a 10,000 gold lead, Gen.G ended the game decisively, evening the series.

Match 3: FlyQuest's Creative Picks Shine

FlyQuest returned with another unexpected pick—Zeri in the mid-lane—and started strong, securing a double kill after a failed dive from Gen.G. Kai'Sa, controlled by FlyQuest, had three kills and was 2,000 gold ahead of Gen.G's bot lane.

Despite FlyQuest's early lead, Gen.G managed to secure all the void grubs and maintain control over objectives, even though they struggled to use this advantage. FlyQuest continued to find kills but couldn’t completely control the game due to their lack of damage against Gen.G’s tanky champions like Sejuani and Braum.

FlyQuest found their moment with a big fight, securing Baron, and Drake, and taking down multiple turrets. Massu’s Kai’Sa performance was incredible, and FlyQuest’s confidence as underdogs was inspiring. Against all odds, they secured a 10,000 gold lead, and Quad pulled off a quadra kill, winning the third game for FlyQuest.

Match 4: Gen.G Regains Control

The fourth match started with FlyQuest pressuring Gen.G early, forcing them to lose three flashes in the first three minutes. Despite this, Gen.G recovered by securing three void grubs, while FlyQuest claimed the first drake.

The game was evenly balanced, but Gen.G’s Canyon, playing Nidalee, became incredibly strong. Gen.G applied heavy pressure across the map, playing confidently and dominating FlyQuest. This match showed that whenever FlyQuest stuck to the meta, they struggled. Gen.G won the fourth game, pushing the series to a deciding fifth match.

Match 5: FlyQuest's All-Out Effort

FlyQuest gave it their all in the final game, picking unusual champions like Nunu, Urgot, Sett, and Fiddlesticks. The early game was tough for FlyQuest, but Bwipo made a great escape during a dive attempt. Despite FlyQuest's efforts to outsmart Gen.G, the Korean team secured three void grubs and a drake.

Tension was high throughout the match, with FlyQuest trying to hold on. Busio nearly died, but Quad played brilliantly, and Bwipo was on fire. In one fight, FlyQuest made a great play with Fiddlesticks, but Gen.G caught them off guard while they attempted a secret Baron. This mistake cost FlyQuest dearly, and Gen.G turned the game in their favor.

Gen.G slaughtered FlyQuest in the top lane and dominated the rest of the game. FlyQuest fought hard, but they lost control of the map and their base, leading to Gen.G’s victory. Gen.G qualified for the semifinals, but FlyQuest's efforts were comm

endable.

Congratulations to Gen.G!
