FlyQuest and BIG to clash in ESLC Atlanta final

SAW cannot make their favorite status stick while Wildcard's underdog run ends in the semi-finals.

FlyQuest are in a LAN final for the first time in the core's history

FlyQuest will meet BIG in ESL Challenger Atlanta's final with the Aussies looking to win their first ever non-RMR LAN as a core.

BIG, for their part, have not won a LAN since DH Open Leipzig in 2020 (where they beat Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong and Joshua "⁠INS⁠" Potter's Renegades) but enter confident after dispatching of world No. 9 SAW in their own semi-final.

FlyQuest advanced to the grand final by ending Wildcard's valiant underdog run.

Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz's troops, playing with Sebastian "⁠fr3nd⁠" Kuśmierz instead of Love "⁠phzy⁠" Smidebrant, eliminated ODDIK and M80 and took a map off FlyQuest but showed their fatigue in a 3-13 loss on the decider of Anubis.

The fight to be Europe's representative in the final then ensued, with SAW and BIG trading picks in dominant fashion.

Despite being the only top ten team in attendance, tournament favorites SAW have struggled at times in Atlanta.

The Portugese combine lost in groups to FlyQuest and were nearly eliminated early after going 5-11 down against BetBoom on map three in Group A's decider.

That time, they came back to win, but SAW needed lightning to strike twice after BIG won both pistols, a Deagle eco, and a key Karim "⁠Krimbo⁠" Moussa — who shone all series — 1vs1 to put themselves on the same 11-5 scoreline on Vertigo's semi-final decider.

SAW did rally for four in a row but no more miracles were forthcoming, as Florian "⁠syrsoN⁠" Rische arrived just in time to confirm BIG's win 13-9 and the series 2-1.

For Saw, this tournament was a complete fail. Since the second game, i saw a team struggling a lot. And throwing away rounds for no reason. Maybe thought this could have been an easy path to victory...

if Flyquest win, they get the EPL spot, they will also win ECL oceania, so will their pro league spot drop down to whoever comes 3rd in ECL Oceania, making 3 AU teams at next pro league?
