Yeah... I doubt FlyQuest will stay together for another year. The rev share is going down next year by a significant margin and Massu who's probably on minimum(or close to minimum) is probably getting a ton of offers from western teams(and maybe some eastern ones???). So unless one of the veterans are willing to accept a paycut for the 2025 season, we're probably going to see one of the core members change unless FlyQuest finds a way to get more funding.
awwww man :( Sometimes I forget what it means to be an esport team fan - u never know how long the roster u like so much will stay together. Well, whatever happens I look forward to Massu's growth and hope we will see him (and hopefuly the rest of them) on an international stage

I am forever a T1 fan, but I am now a FLY fan as well, after seeing them put up 1 hell of a fight against Gen G.
After this performance, there's no shot the roster changes, barring any players have a different idea which is unlikely. This fires up FLY despite it being bittersweet 😢
I wanted Gen G to win but.. when I saw FlyQuest got 2 wins.. I really wanted them to win and make history. Still, this makes me more hopeful for next year. LEC and LCS are slowly but surely catching up to LCK and LPL.
Not even one of the best Korean teams, but throughout this year, one of (if not the) best team in the world. It’s amazing that fly quest put up the fight that they did, and at least t1 got revenge for the west
2 weeks of downtime is absolutely criminal.I didnt see Geng die for vision the whole year as many times as this game 1 alone.And huge props for FLY for punishing them better than nearly any korean team
I’ve been arguing that the 3-0 teams are extremely hurt at worlds, they’re punished for doing well, since worlds last year. But everyone just calls me names everytime i bring this up. You can see both GenG and LNG looked so much worse in quarters. Scrims don’t compare to stage games at all.
After last year and now this year qualifying early isn't a good thing it seems you play way less games on stage plus you have the long two weeks break hope Riot do something to fix this issue next year
You can complain about it all you want but at the end of the day, it comes down to preparation and performance on the day. If they lost because of a few days break vs a two week break them, theyd be saying they got less break again. There will always be an excuse for losing, you just gotta find a way to win.

@@rayaqin no one really gains fans based on quality imo, half the time twitch chat is (deservedly) slamming geng for being boring and playing scaling which is like... textbook no?
@@chomosuke0720 Sure. Here I used it as the measure of how high level the gameplay was. Less mistakes and more clean plays and smart macro means higher level of play, which is what in this context constitutes high quality gameplay.
@@rayaqin I agree, GenG 2 week break caused them to forget how to play it looks like, real low quality game, like literally chasing people for over a minute straight for a kill, it's insane how badly GenG played.
@@tristanwright9572 What are you on? FLY pushed GenG to the brink and forced them to do a Smolder draft to win. This is not the same FLY we saw in LCS/playoffs, the difference is CRAZY.
@@sprgemil I don't think this was GenG being pushed, more like the 2 week break just hurting them a ton and looking real shaky. Let's face it, Fly wouldn't stand a chance against in-form GenG but today's GenG was not in form, in fact they look terrible. It's going to be T1's 5th trophy is what it looks like.
I was thinking of switching my Pick Ems to Fly last night and I regret that I didn’t. From “Only Top 8 Due to Draws” and “Easiest 3-0 of Knockouts” all the way to Silver Scrapes, you really Made Us Believe. GGs to the FLY Roster. The final outcome may not have been what you wanted, but head home with your heads held high, that was a damn good series.
This series makes me even more mad that we didnt get G2 in Quarters. Imagine a world where we have both an NA and an EU team fighting for semis. Respect to FLY for this amazing series!
@@lumwenkang6806 Its cool as a concept but sadly Rift Rivals were never taken seriously enough. Even pro players didnt care at all so they just shut it down after a few tries
FlyQuest puting a Misfits vs SKT against GEN was not in my bingo card this year. This series proved once again that West CAN win, we CAN make our difference, LCK/LPL teams have their own meta and picks, we CAN create our own and make it once again, o7 FLY.
memes aside, i never ever thought this would be the most competitive of the quarters' series. all five of the FlyQuest boys should go home with their heads held high, knowing they gave one of the best spectacles league in the 2020s has to offer, and almost delivering on one of the biggest upsets in league history. what an absolute fucking banger of a series. if this is what the west can do, i am all for the comeback in the near and far future. soldier on, boys.
Can‘t believe that I was jumping out of my chair for an NA team almost winning against LCK. Made me remember what League is all about. Such a banger series🙏
GenG just went hyper scaling and flyquest probably didn't plan out their approach to a scaling comp. Kudos to them , hopefully next worlds they prepare
That's why Geng never gets enough budget. You can hear the booing from the crowd when smolder was picked. To gain fans, you need a bit more showmanship. Tryharding with meta picks will surely give you a win, but if they get the crown like that, next year all of their defeats will be celebrated and all of their wins will be mourned. That is the heaviest crown.
@@ohmnesiaoh yeah picking the most toxic champ in the game and the most boring comp to play from audience perspective that makes the viewing experience so much worse is def the right path this game should go
We knew Bwipo and Inspired were good already, but man, the glow up of this bot lane is fucking insane, I hope this team stays and most of all, is a message to other NA and EU teams
Flyquest played their hearts out and should be proud of their performance today. They made us believe again in what feels like has been a long time. Best NA performance since TL eliminated IG at MSI 2019
This is what everyone wanted to see. This is the best series of Worlds so far, and it's coming from an NA team. Nobody thought it would happen. Respect to FLY for showing us such great games. Now this is where NA vs EU is all about. The ability to make everyone believe in miracles. See all of you next year.
off meta / creative picks on a world stage is what makes this game still interesting.. I hardly play the game anymore because of how useless they made the other 70% of champions (unless you one trick dedicate your life to). Why even have champs if they will never see the world stage?? its literally why I watch and don't play league as much anymore. Props to fly for keeping this game alive and actually fun.
Ive been a T1 fan only for countless years now. But Flyquest with this ONE series has given me another team to love. I can't believe how amazing these guys were. I can't wait to see more of them in next worlds!
@jeevang7853 this may be difficult to accept as a toxic league player, but it IS possible to not only see good plays by a losing team, but also commend them for their efforts as well.
@@notmetho906 Right, my apologies. I forgot its impossible to praise a players performance without completely denigrating the opposition. Doesnt matter how "useless" lehends was; Busio played exceptionally well and his vision control was a clearly huge part of their success and strategy. You ARE allowed to praise players for playing well without bashing everyone else in the process.
@jeevang7853 T1 will 3-0 them at this rate, Lehends and Peyzpal are getting carried by canyon. Kiin is invisible and a ksante merchant. Mid is doing good but chokes a lot.
Did he? 🤣 I just saw him getting rolled over by most of the eastern toplaners and talking shit about other regions and not having the gameplay to back it up.
@@Dionisisdenis Bwipo is literally an ex EU player, he's washed, hence why he went to NA because he couldn't hack it on the EU stage and was getting rolled every week xD
In that game 3 it looked like FLY were saving Red buff for later. Very smart move to try not take it when there's no neutral buffs so they have it during the fight for the team.
We hate K'sante and Smolder and maybe Yone not because of meta, but because of champion design. They have overloaded kits. They are fun champions to play, like you're doing everyone's role by yourself, but it's boring as a viewer.
@@ohmnesiait’s like watching a cs match and suddenly one of the player pulls out a nuke switch with script Picking Smolder is equivalent to cheating bcs this champ should not exist
@@pratikroy227Canyon’s Nidalee has to be praised, unlike the Ksante/Smolder. No one else plays Nidalee, sure the champ is oppressive if played well but besides Canyon no one can play it well, and it’s not like her kit is especially annoying/unhealthy, the guy is just cracked (can’t say the same for the farmer in mid and the ksante merchant in top)
My bestfriend woke me up by calling me and telling me to watch the series while it was happening, what a fucking thing to click into watching while half asleep
@@CrescentedPotatoe K'sante and smolder is 100% broken meta picks. They're either banned or left open because they picked a super hard counter for them. Nidalee is just canyon being cracked on the champion though.
@@uresfffff222 yeah was very soured by the 3-0 series to wbg though, in hindsight maybe it wasnt so bad since they made finals but at the time no one thought wbg would go very far after.
Crazy how we were shitting on NA for only playing against wildcards and their own region, only for Fly to shut everyone up by giving GENG a close series. Ignoring the last game, this match up was absolute cinema.
spoillller - - - massu will rightfully get credited for g3, but quad played sooo well to get himself items the fights he managed to survive were insane but yeah, massu might be the most insane na rookie since danny and jojo i hope his career goes well
I‘ve been watching league since S4, and I've never seen, any NA team, playing like this at worlds, I despised most NA teams because they just lack the passion and aggression in their games, I remember TSM went home 0/6 group stage, they played like they are intermediate bots. Seeing how Fly played today, they went down like warriors, they came prepared and they got respected by GENG, and even more by fans all over the world. I was watching the LPL stream and I could see Chinese fans cheering for Fly because they are shocked by how good Fly played here, everyone loves it when the underdog outperforms their expectations, and they are still young, they will lead the future of LCS.
@@grrumakemeangrymassu and busio carried them. NA>EU. For multiple years now, your region is below NA now. Wish fly went against g2 so we could make fun of them even more.
In LCK Spring Final game 4,5, and today game 4... Doran -> Kiin is 2024GenG's best choice. GenG probably would have collapsed in the quarterfinals again today if Kiin had not been there to stand the team.
Honestly, this year has sparked my hope for Western teams again. From MSI to Worlds, there had been many games that the West looked like they could take the series. Hopefully, they bounce back even harder next year.
Really??? U have amnesia or what xd. They were close against HLE,They won against WBG(they are in semis) they won 1 map against BLG and they were close to win whole bo3 Bbut they trolled on nashor force(also semifinalist). I mean flyquest played incredible well but u just cannot say that they showed more competitiveness.
@@Mofighter12 They were up 2-1 on a team that has shown much more promise than than BLG. Ik it's cope but if it was a bo3, FQ wins. Remember GENG had the hardest Swiss schedule and still came out 3-0. They were looked at as the best team in the world, while BLG looked like shell of themselves when they faced G2, losing to T1 and LNG( who somehow got stomped by WBG) putting themselves in the 2-2 bracket. FFS they were even struggling with PSG. I'd say this performance against GENG is more impressive than anything G2 has shown this worlds. Also note FQ also had a close series against HLE, taking a game, and even having a good chance to win the series 2-0.
Ye idk some people are just delusional. Almost beating HLE, beating Semi Finalist Weibo, Bashing BLG in Game 2 and almost taking the BO3 to secure quarters. Where is the superior competitiveness of FLY? Don’t even answer u too delusional anyway this for the other people reading it.
Im from NA, but I have always respected and given EU players their dues for their impact on the NA scene and its growth. Inspired has been nothing but inspiring and the best JG the West has. But there's an unsung hero here, and that's Head Coach Nukeduke. He has really stepped up with this FQ team.
what a great day to be a Western League fanboy man. even if Flyquest lost the series, they sure have won the heart of EVERYONE. they literally single-handedly saved the LCS and probably the entire Western League scene in general. And I love them, love them so much, I even had some tears when FLY took their final bow. I never doubted them, AND I NEVER WILL! take notes, LEC, wake up next year.
Undoubtably the best performance of the West in 5 years, 46-3 all year, MSI champs, 4 peat, best player in the World, and they still brought them to their knees
Ecstatic to see a fiddlesticks pick and sad to see it go so quickly. Amazing games by fly quest and I hope more teams consider more pocket picks like fly quest did. fly quests future looks bright.
I'm actually proud for both G2/FLY they showed that they are close to competing with the China/Korean teams, hope next year there will be some big upsets.
@jeevang7853 They have beaten WBG which are in semifinals. FLY biggest win was against TL... Also, FLY didn't win single series against China/Korean team sooo what's the logic? That's why I said both teams were close...
FQ had this! Could have won. Unnecessary mystakes in game 5. I did actually bet money on them and was soo close to getting a fortune 🤣 It was beautiful tho. Thank you for emotions Bwipo and team ❤️❤️
Its was so sad watching their mental crumble after baron play. They weren’t even that far behind, but the pressure got to them. Hope this experience* allows them to perform next year as well
great preparations from fly and what a poor performance from gen at the same time. kiin during the interview said they didn't believe the series would go to the silver scrapes which means they just underestimated fly from the beginning. i don't know whether this is the result of them being rested too long since the last game but they really do need to focus on especially against t1 even though they have a good track record domestically
they're out for two weeks but come on they have a lot of time to read on meta, do scrims and study players. lastly they can play soloq for more enchancing. to add they're well rested it means no one feeling sht
As an avid LCK fanboy I truly had an edge-of-my-seat moment with this BO5, and for a moment there FlyQuest made me believe. Props to them and I actually hope they make it past quarterfinals next Worlds 🙌
its insane how out of the 4 quarters, this was expected to be the easiest, obvious 3 0, no chance for a 5 game series well damn played fly, best series ive watched in a long while o7
You know whats crazy about this? Gen G is the favorites to win worlds and noone expects T1 to win Top 8 happens T1 has the most doninant performance while GenG has the closest quarterfinals Worlds really is a different dimension
@@alex2005z It was Weibo, LNG just fell apart and Weibo became a monster with their map read. This knockouts stage really saw some surprising results but Doran being Doran remained true to himself and inted, as expected.

@@rayaqin no one really gains fans based on quality imo, half the time twitch chat is (deservedly) slamming geng for being boring and playing scaling which is like... textbook no?
@@rayaqin Please define for everyone what quality is
@@chomosuke0720 Sure. Here I used it as the measure of how high level the gameplay was. Less mistakes and more clean plays and smart macro means higher level of play, which is what in this context constitutes high quality gameplay.
@@rayaqin I agree, GenG 2 week break caused them to forget how to play it looks like, real low quality game, like literally chasing people for over a minute straight for a kill, it's insane how badly GenG played.
Massu in his rookie year accomplished more than Doublelift his entire career (internationally)
yeah he is probably the best kaisa atm
@@DwytAI As much as I wanna agree we can't forget gala exists, best kai'sa or adc in the west though
@@DwytAIwhat XDDDD
Ik doublelift sucks at world but he did went to MSI Final in 2019 if iam not mistaken.
@@YouDizzyLuv who even is gala
Jesus these guys leveled up hardcore after NA finals
Flyquest looked very good all NA playoffs. I don't think they really improved that massively.
@@tristanwright9572 What are you on? FLY pushed GenG to the brink and forced them to do a Smolder draft to win. This is not the same FLY we saw in LCS/playoffs, the difference is CRAZY.
@@sprgemil FQ deliberately didn't spar with any eastern teams, GenG basically played a team that plays a completely different metagame
@@sprgemil I don't think this was GenG being pushed, more like the 2 week break just hurting them a ton and looking real shaky. Let's face it, Fly wouldn't stand a chance against in-form GenG but today's GenG was not in form, in fact they look terrible. It's going to be T1's 5th trophy is what it looks like.
@@XBezerkerX lol
ran a marathon this morning and saw game 2-3 only i was waiting for this
Which marathon was it?
Tcs?
U didn’t run a marathon lil bro you is not like that ong
@@fanwee5048 He did, I was there ong
@@fanwee5048 hater lol
I was thinking of switching my Pick Ems to Fly last night and I regret that I didn’t. From “Only Top 8 Due to Draws” and “Easiest 3-0 of Knockouts” all the way to Silver Scrapes, you really Made Us Believe. GGs to the FLY Roster. The final outcome may not have been what you wanted, but head home with your heads held high, that was a damn good series.
58:15 "He flipped him back to Korea" LMFAO GOD tier moments hahhaa
This series makes me even more mad that we didnt get G2 in Quarters. Imagine a world where we have both an NA and an EU team fighting for semis. Respect to FLY for this amazing series!
Tat world dun exist. On side note, WEST should have their internal MSI of sort where NA vs EU
@@lumwenkang6806 Its cool as a concept but sadly Rift Rivals were never taken seriously enough. Even pro players didnt care at all so they just shut it down after a few tries
Bro this ain't about you (EU)
@@lumwenkang6806 We already had that (Rift Rivals) and it was lame as fuck, because no one took it seriously.
Well for that to happen G2 would have to get good...the best we got was NA vs EU for quarter's and well...G2 should just change their name to 0-2
This might be a lose for FlyQuest, but THIS IS A WIN FOR ALL WEST❤KEEP THE COPIUM GOING
FlyQuest puting a Misfits vs SKT against GEN was not in my bingo card this year. This series proved once again that West CAN win, we CAN make our difference, LCK/LPL teams have their own meta and picks, we CAN create our own and make it once again, o7 FLY.
@jeevang7853 2017 BO5 SKT vs MISFITS, MISFITS was the underdog and managed to grab a 2-3 defeat instead of the widely expected 0-3
memes aside, i never ever thought this would be the most competitive of the quarters' series. all five of the FlyQuest boys should go home with their heads held high, knowing they gave one of the best spectacles league in the 2020s has to offer, and almost delivering on one of the biggest upsets in league history.
what an absolute fucking banger of a series. if this is what the west can do, i am all for the comeback in the near and far future. soldier on, boys.
Can‘t believe that I was jumping out of my chair for an NA team almost winning against LCK. Made me remember what League is all about. Such a banger series🙏
Man last game was so unbelievably unsatisfying...
GenG just went hyper scaling and flyquest probably didn't plan out their approach to a scaling comp. Kudos to them , hopefully next worlds they prepare
@@levVXO Imagine not planning out how to play against a scaling comp from GenG. Deserved to lose, if that's the reason.
That's why Geng never gets enough budget. You can hear the booing from the crowd when smolder was picked. To gain fans, you need a bit more showmanship. Tryharding with meta picks will surely give you a win, but if they get the crown like that, next year all of their defeats will be celebrated and all of their wins will be mourned. That is the heaviest crown.
@@ohmnesiaoh yeah picking the most toxic champ in the game and the most boring comp to play from audience perspective that makes the viewing experience so much worse is def the right path this game should go
@@episode4882 You say this while Flyquest literally had YONE in that game
ABSOLUTE CINEMA
I'm an LCK fan but legit wanted FLY to win this series. Can't wait to see what's ahead of FLY, they look promising
@jeevang7853 Yeah why not they belong in the LCK region??? Most of the world champs are from LCK? What's wrong with liking T1?
We knew Bwipo and Inspired were good already, but man, the glow up of this bot lane is fucking insane, I hope this team stays and most of all, is a message to other NA and EU teams
Flyquest played their hearts out and should be proud of their performance today. They made us believe again in what feels like has been a long time. Best NA performance since TL eliminated IG at MSI 2019
This is what everyone wanted to see. This is the best series of Worlds so far, and it's coming from an NA team. Nobody thought it would happen. Respect to FLY for showing us such great games.
Now this is where NA vs EU is all about. The ability to make everyone believe in miracles. See all of you next year.
off meta / creative picks on a world stage is what makes this game still interesting.. I hardly play the game anymore because of how useless they made the other 70% of champions (unless you one trick dedicate your life to). Why even have champs if they will never see the world stage?? its literally why I watch and don't play league as much anymore. Props to fly for keeping this game alive and actually fun.
got off work at 2 am and was given a treat of a series. I have found my new team as a new league player. #FlyQuest
Welcome (to hell)🎉
FLY did fight with courage and dignity. They showed what they prepared, what they thought best to win. Honor should be theirs though they lost.
Flyquest just proved that GenG isn't untouchable they made them bleed
I had never saw geng lose before
Ive been a T1 fan only for countless years now. But Flyquest with this ONE series has given me another team to love. I can't believe how amazing these guys were. I can't wait to see more of them in next worlds!
@jeevang7853 FLY is temporary, BWIPO is eternal (the unshrinkable demon chef)
@jeevang7853 No need for negativity, you'll forget about me tomorrow lol
@@whereDoCarrotsComeFrom Wide swole bwipo is yuge in game and out :D
@jeevang7853 No need to get mad at comment section bro, it's not that deep. G2 is trash thats just the way it is.
This was a respectable showing from the last ever LCS first seed. o7 FlyQuest
17:25 bwipo is so insane, preemptively zhonyas skarner ult, E buffers Leona E, flashes over rocket for massive W taunt
one thing no one discussed... pay attention to busio's vision score compared to lehends. Dude was a monster in vision control.
Lehends was useless this series, hes literally a walking vision.
@jeevang7853 this may be difficult to accept as a toxic league player, but it IS possible to not only see good plays by a losing team, but also commend them for their efforts as well.
@@notmetho906 Right, my apologies. I forgot its impossible to praise a players performance without completely denigrating the opposition.
Doesnt matter how "useless" lehends was; Busio played exceptionally well and his vision control was a clearly huge part of their success and strategy. You ARE allowed to praise players for playing well without bashing everyone else in the process.
@jeevang7853 T1 will 3-0 them at this rate, Lehends and Peyzpal are getting carried by canyon. Kiin is invisible and a ksante merchant. Mid is doing good but chokes a lot.
@@mathew5968 yeah lol after this series. i expected t1 to lose vs geng but with this performance i will confidently says t1 will stomp next week.
Hate him or love him,Bwipo shut a lot of mouths this worlds
Did he? 🤣 I just saw him getting rolled over by most of the eastern toplaners and talking shit about other regions and not having the gameplay to back it up.
@@XBezerkerX bwipo was camped by gen g the 5 games and still was useful, what are you saying?
@@XBezerkerX You saw a diff worlds ,it's ok to be mad
@blapip6147 It's what got him this far? So it wasn't being matched against wildcards???
@@Dionisisdenis Bwipo is literally an ex EU player, he's washed, hence why he went to NA because he couldn't hack it on the EU stage and was getting rolled every week xD
In that game 3 it looked like FLY were saving Red buff for later. Very smart move to try not take it when there's no neutral buffs so they have it during the fight for the team.
1:22:11 The crowd's reaction says it all
Crowd is petty
We hate K'sante and Smolder and maybe Yone not because of meta, but because of champion design. They have overloaded kits. They are fun champions to play, like you're doing everyone's role by yourself, but it's boring as a viewer.
@@ohmnesiait’s like watching a cs match and suddenly one of the player pulls out a nuke switch with script
Picking Smolder is equivalent to cheating bcs this champ should not exist
Nerf that champ to the pavement
And then you hear the hype around fiddle and sett
I'm an LCK fan, and still I cheered for FLY... their performance was really amazing. So close tho
unreal performance, i would have liked to see a non-smolder game for game 5 ofc but still crazy well played
What a series by FlyQuest. They played so well. Maybe NA still has hope ?
A GenG fan here. Great respect toward FLY for such a wonderful BO5 series. Reminded me of Misfits back in 2017.
"the moon landing was not fake"
I love hearing your comments, thank you so much !
Massu 100% deserves to be on the Worlds anthem mv. I was an unbeliever at first (cause yknow, NA) but I am happy I was proven wrong
Stand proud FLY, u made best team in the world ksante, smolder merchant
Don't forget Nidalee merchant Canyon. He had to go back to his one trick to get back to 2-2 same champ he has his world skin.
@@pratikroy227 right, forgot that
@@pratikroy227Canyon’s Nidalee has to be praised, unlike the Ksante/Smolder. No one else plays Nidalee, sure the champ is oppressive if played well but besides Canyon no one can play it well, and it’s not like her kit is especially annoying/unhealthy, the guy is just cracked (can’t say the same for the farmer in mid and the ksante merchant in top)
@@Teamfondeur If anyone can play Smolder into Yone they'd leave Yone up buddy.
What is this whining? You sound like a baby who can't think in logical terms.
My bestfriend woke me up by calling me and telling me to watch the series while it was happening, what a fucking thing to click into watching while half asleep
honestly so proud of fly rn they were amazing
FLY said: Fuck it, NA is never supposed to make it this far, we should just have some fun
GEN said: Metametametametametameta
Nida, ksante, smolder is meta? hmmm if its meta then shouldn't it have been pick more often? cause the stats says otherwise lol
@@CrescentedPotatoe K'sante and smolder is 100% broken meta picks. They're either banned or left open because they picked a super hard counter for them. Nidalee is just canyon being cracked on the champion though.
@@CrescentedPotatoe nida is meta when your opponent's name is canyon.
na made same placement last year too , nrg were 5th-8th
@@uresfffff222 yeah was very soured by the 3-0 series to wbg though, in hindsight maybe it wasnt so bad since they made finals but at the time no one thought wbg would go very far after.
Flyquest goes crazy, respect to them. Fun team to watch, fumbled the game 5 but nobody expected them to push GenG this far 😮💨
i was having breakfast when my brother called me screaming "fly quest and geng are at match point and fly quest is on top"
which means you only saw the last two games and missed the fun parts. That kinda sucks actually
But still a call no one would have expected to get
@@jeffkoenig7402 honestly even when i started watching when things went south, this was an amazing series and a great achievement by fly
1:39:31 Chovy's shaking so hard GODDAMN FlyQuest, really nice try that was a great performance!
I'm still heartbroken on that last game.
1:37:20 Bro that canyon bait was 4D Chess, even as watchign spectator just looks like hes throwing hard
just like the zeus gragas TP from T1 vs TES
18:58 WHERE ARE CHOVY EYES? Alien confirmed
That's racist
Crazy how we were shitting on NA for only playing against wildcards and their own region, only for Fly to shut everyone up by giving GENG a close series. Ignoring the last game, this match up was absolute cinema.
They made us dream, game 5 was the wake up call, but the dream was nearly real
MAN THIS series was so good to watch, unique picks ,HOPE for NA beating LCK. FLY really stepped up
Massu has had an incredible year and an even more stellar Worlds appearance. That's our LCS Rookie of the Year! o7
Love seeing different styles come through draft instead of one meta
Fly won our hearts, hope they see this. Much love from LPL we disowned TES and willing to adopt fly quest to ourside.

massu will rightfully get credited for g3, but quad played sooo well to get himself items
the fights he managed to survive were insane
but yeah, massu might be the most insane na rookie since danny and jojo
i hope his career goes well
I‘ve been watching league since S4, and I've never seen, any NA team, playing like this at worlds, I despised most NA teams because they just lack the passion and aggression in their games, I remember TSM went home 0/6 group stage, they played like they are intermediate bots. Seeing how Fly played today, they went down like warriors, they came prepared and they got respected by GENG, and even more by fans all over the world. I was watching the LPL stream and I could see Chinese fans cheering for Fly because they are shocked by how good Fly played here, everyone loves it when the underdog outperforms their expectations, and they are still young, they will lead the future of LCS.
Maybe cos 2 ppl on the team are euw and one is korean
@@grrumakemeangry that's all NA teams but they flop. This team played with passion and played well too.
2016 CLG, 2019 TL, 2015-2018 C9.
@@grrumakemeangryMassu is Canadiana and Busio is American, and they were the two top performers, so what about it?
@@grrumakemeangrymassu and busio carried them. NA>EU. For multiple years now, your region is below NA now. Wish fly went against g2 so we could make fun of them even more.
Mad respect for FLY, Was fun to watch.
THE MOST ENTERTAINING SERIES OF WORLDS.
FQ won our hearts 💚
In LCK Spring Final game 4,5, and today game 4...
Doran -> Kiin is 2024GenG's best choice. GenG probably would have collapsed in the quarterfinals again today if Kiin had not been there to stand the team.
Doran is a coinflip player when in his good days he plays as well as Kiin.
crazy thing is hle wanted kiin and gives the best offer than geng but peanut and delight wants doran for them to join.
100% agreed. We saw how Doran turned out in HLE vs BLG series.
ANTI-SPOILER WALL
Honestly, this year has sparked my hope for Western teams again. From MSI to Worlds, there had been many games that the West looked like they could take the series. Hopefully, they bounce back even harder next year.
Flyquest shows more competitiveness than G2 2years roster.
Simply incredible
It's even crazier that they were one of the youngest teams at worlds and their current roster only started playing together like 4 months ago
Really??? U have amnesia or what xd. They were close against HLE,They won against WBG(they are in semis) they won 1 map against BLG and they were close to win whole bo3 Bbut they trolled on nashor force(also semifinalist). I mean flyquest played incredible well but u just cannot say that they showed more competitiveness.
@@Mofighter12 They were up 2-1 on a team that has shown much more promise than than BLG. Ik it's cope but if it was a bo3, FQ wins. Remember GENG had the hardest Swiss schedule and still came out 3-0. They were looked at as the best team in the world, while BLG looked like shell of themselves when they faced G2, losing to T1 and LNG( who somehow got stomped by WBG) putting themselves in the 2-2 bracket. FFS they were even struggling with PSG. I'd say this performance against GENG is more impressive than anything G2 has shown this worlds. Also note FQ also had a close series against HLE, taking a game, and even having a good chance to win the series 2-0.
Ye idk some people are just delusional. Almost beating HLE, beating Semi Finalist Weibo, Bashing BLG in Game 2 and almost taking the BO3 to secure quarters. Where is the superior competitiveness of FLY?
Don’t even answer u too delusional anyway this for the other people reading it.
It took geng to go quite a meta lineup to beat fly, kudos to fly for such a banger
Hate to say it T1 this is it, your road leads to GenG
I think fly and G2 showed that the west isn't completely cooked yet. I hope to see more action from them in the following years
most entertaining league series i've ever watched as someone from NA
Im from NA, but I have always respected and given EU players their dues for their impact on the NA scene and its growth. Inspired has been nothing but inspiring and the best JG the West has. But there's an unsung hero here, and that's Head Coach Nukeduke. He has really stepped up with this FQ team.
That Handshake 1:02:53 was so BadAss after destroying GenG
My respect for this team has skyrocketed, hope they stay the roster for next year. My bad for even doubting they can even take a game👏🏾👏🏾
If you watch the movie Rocky, you will understand how this game went for Flyquest
Wow. That game 2 Kaisa double kill was beautiful
Made me so happy bro
what a great day to be a Western League fanboy man.
even if Flyquest lost the series, they sure have won the heart of EVERYONE. they literally single-handedly saved the LCS and probably the entire Western League scene in general. And I love them, love them so much, I even had some tears when FLY took their final bow. I never doubted them, AND I NEVER WILL!
take notes, LEC, wake up next year.
They made us believe. Thank you Flyquest
Undoubtably the best performance of the West in 5 years, 46-3 all year, MSI champs, 4 peat, best player in the World, and they still brought them to their knees
How to play against GEN G - just pick something crazy out of meta.. they have no idea :D
Ecstatic to see a fiddlesticks pick and sad to see it go so quickly. Amazing games by fly quest and I hope more teams consider more pocket picks like fly quest did. fly quests future looks bright.
Flyquest: The team that almost killed the gods
I'm actually proud for both G2/FLY they showed that they are close to competing with the China/Korean teams, hope next year there will be some big upsets.
@jeevang7853 They have beaten WBG which are in semifinals. FLY biggest win was against TL... Also, FLY didn't win single series against China/Korean team sooo what's the logic? That's why I said both teams were close...
FQ had this! Could have won. Unnecessary mystakes in game 5.
I did actually bet money on them and was soo close to getting a fortune 🤣
It was beautiful tho. Thank you for emotions Bwipo and team ❤️❤️
@jeevang7853 Bwipo is more useful than your entire bloodline though.
Its was so sad watching their mental crumble after baron play. They weren’t even that far behind, but the pressure got to them. Hope this experience* allows them to perform next year as well
Honestly, this gives me hope for t1. I think they can win if Gen G play like this.
I love Bwipo, he has the mental everyone should have, having fun even when you are losing and keep smiling even after you lost.
great preparations from fly and what a poor performance from gen at the same time. kiin during the interview said they didn't believe the series would go to the silver scrapes which means they just underestimated fly from the beginning. i don't know whether this is the result of them being rested too long since the last game but they really do need to focus on especially against t1 even though they have a good track record domestically
they're out for two weeks but come on they have a lot of time to read on meta, do scrims and study players. lastly they can play soloq for more enchancing. to add they're well rested it means no one feeling sht
As an avid LCK fanboy I truly had an edge-of-my-seat moment with this BO5, and for a moment there FlyQuest made me believe. Props to them and I actually hope they make it past quarterfinals next Worlds 🙌
Only 3-2 game in quarterfinal
Huh?
its insane how out of the 4 quarters, this was expected to be the easiest, obvious 3 0, no chance for a 5 game series
well damn played fly, best series ive watched in a long while o7
1:39:03 wtf canyon how did he predict that
fly proving they did in fact deserve that top 8 slots, holy shit
You know whats crazy about this?
Gen G is the favorites to win worlds and noone expects T1 to win
Top 8 happens T1 has the most doninant performance while GenG has the closest quarterfinals
Worlds really is a different dimension
i would give this more weight if TES didnt fall apart the way they did and have all year in elimination series
I feel like everyone expected T1 to win over TES. TES is definitively the weakest team that made quarters
