FlyQuest stun Cloud9 in organizational debut

The Australian side came back from a 1-6 deficit to snag a win in their opening BO1.

dexter's troops have hit the ground running at IEM Chengdu

Amidst a slew of one-sided opening matchups, which included largely dominant victories for Virtus.pro, Astralis, and FaZe, newly-signed Australian side FlyQuest secured an impressive opening victory with a 13-6 win over Major quarter-finalists Cloud9 on Ancient.

Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong's troops, participating in their first international event since being released from the Grayhound banner, are now separated from playoffs by just a single BO3 victory, with the Australian side slated to play Virtus.pro for a chance to compete in front of the Chinese crowd. Meanwhile, Astralis will have to overcome Major finalists FaZe if they want to reach their first playoff berth under Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz's helm.

While most of the rest of the opening matchups in Group B were dominated by just one side, FlyQuest had to overcome a sizable round lead built up by Cloud9 before they walked away with the map victory.

FlyQuest struggled to find their footing early into their CT side, accruing just a single round within the first seven as Kirill "⁠Boombl4⁠" Mikhailov's men showcased a well-put-together offense. This was not to last, as the Aussies composed themselves in the latter portion of the half to tie things up 6-6 heading into their T side.

On the offense is where dexter was able to showcase some of his own impressive calls, as FlyQuest did not let up a single round throughout the second half, accruing a total streak of 12 rounds in a row to lock down Ancient with a solid 13-6 scoreline.

It amazes me how inconsistent this team can be. They can beat G2, Navi, Vita, have close matches against Faze, but at the same time tthey can lose to far weaker opposition (BetBoom, mibr, Rebels in Katowice and now FlyQuest). I am a VP fan and i always rate c9 higher due to firepower, but they are more consistent in this regard. Jame will show how shit gets done.

C9's hopes are already on the next season for when they'll have an awper. They know one of them will be cut from the team so the mood must be quite weird rn.
