FlyQuest send BetBoom home from EPL

The Australian team are making the most of a rare international playoff campaign.

FlyQuest have grabbed a spot in the second round of the playoffs of ESL Pro League Season 19 thanks to a 2-1 win over BetBoom, recovering from a loss on Vertigo (11-13) with wins on Mirage (13-9) and Anubis (13-9).

It's not often that FlyQuest appear in the playoffs of an international LAN event, and after taking down the unfavored PERA and a weakened Ninjas in Pyjamas to get this far in Malta, it felt like BetBoom would end their journey.

The Aussies strongly rejected that notion with a relatively comfortable victory over the Russian team, controlling the series outside of a collapse towards the end of Vertigo.

Jay "⁠Liazz⁠" Tregillgas' consistent production helped make up for an underperformance by Joshua "⁠INS⁠" Potter, which Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong revealed in a post-match interview was brought on by sickness, and now FlyQuest can look forward to a bout with Liquid in the next round of the playoffs.

BetBoom will be left ruing their performance as FlyQuest were one of the easier playoff draws on offer in Malta. Their latest addition, Kirill "⁠Magnojez⁠" Rodnov, firmly justified his recent signing throughout their EPL run, but the team's often toothless T sides were a real issue, as evidenced on Anubis in this series.
