Look Sports Media – The classic EU vs. NA rivalry explodes onto the stage at MSI as G2 Esports and FlyQuest collide in a winner-takes-all showdown on July 4th. This best-of-five clash, taking place in Vancouver, Canada, pits the LEC’s second seed against the lone North American hope, FlyQuest, who carry the weight of the entire region on their shoulders after FURIA’s elimination in the Play-Ins – an elimination partially orchestrated by G2 themselves. The stakes are high: only one team will advance.
The match promises fireworks, both literally (it’s the 4th of July in North America!) and figuratively. Both teams enter the series recovering from opening-round defeats. While G2 impressed with a Game 1 victory over Gen.G before succumbing 3-1, FlyQuest mirrored this pattern, taking down Anyone’s Legend in their opener before falling 3-1 to the LPL champions. Both teams demonstrated flashes of brilliance, showcasing high ceilings, but adapting to the Fearless Draft ruleset will be paramount.
The series is a tough one to call. Even the oddsmakers are hesitant, giving FlyQuest a slight edge. FlyQuest’s international experience, including their strong showing against Gen.G at Worlds last year, is a significant factor. However, G2 boasts a considerable advantage in terms of recent competitive experience, having played 18 more games on the current patch thanks to their Play-Ins run. This extra time could be crucial in refining their strategies and ironing out any lingering issues. Inspired’s pre-match tweet, "We just really badly wanted to face G2 😉 ggs 😂," only adds fuel to the fire.
