Look Sports Media – The classic EU vs. NA rivalry explodes onto the MSI stage as G2 Esports and FlyQuest clash in a winner-takes-all showdown on July 4th. This best-of-five series, taking place in Vancouver, Canada, carries immense weight, particularly for FlyQuest, the sole North American representative remaining in the tournament after FURIA’s elimination in the Play-Ins – a defeat partly orchestrated by G2 themselves. The stakes are high: elimination looms for the losing team.
The match promises a thrilling spectacle, though perhaps not the cleanest League of Legends gameplay we’ve seen at MSI. Both teams enter the series with mixed results, having secured impressive Game 1 victories before succumbing 3-1 defeats in their respective opening rounds. G2 surprised many with their initial win against Gen.G, offering a flicker of hope for EMEA fans, while FlyQuest similarly impressed with their Game 1 victory against Anyone’s Legend. However, both teams ultimately fell short against the tournament’s top seeds.
Despite their early round losses, both G2 and FlyQuest demonstrated impressive potential, highlighting the high ceilings of their rosters. Adaptability in drafting will be key, especially considering the Fearless Draft ruleset. While bookmakers slightly favor FlyQuest, the series remains incredibly close to call, making it a true toss-up.

FlyQuest’s international experience, including their strong showing against Gen.G at Worlds last year, gives them a significant advantage. However, G2 boasts considerably more recent competitive experience on the current patch (18 more games), providing them with a deeper understanding of the meta and more time to address their weaknesses. This extra preparation could be the deciding factor, especially given FlyQuest’s drafting struggles against Anyone’s Legend.
G2’s performance against Gen.G, despite their shaky Play-Ins run, showcased their resilience and potential. Now, they need to find their confidence and composure to navigate what’s likely to be a chaotic and intensely competitive series. The question remains: Can G2 leverage their experience and strategic edge, or will FlyQuest’s international prowess and home-turf advantage propel them to victory? This is one match you won’t want to miss. The series begins at 8 PM BST on July 4th.
