SAW extend swansong to eliminate FlyQuest
The Portuguese squad survived some shakey moments to escape a last-place finish in their last event together.

FlyQuest have been eliminated from PGL Cluj-Napoca in last place after a disappointing loss to dead team walking SAW.
The Australians made a bold move to add Iulian "regali" Harjău in place of Alistair "aliStair" Johnston at the start of the year, and it started well with a 2-0 win over MIBR online but FlyQuest have since gone on a six-game losing streak.
Usual first pick Inferno, a reliable map last year, has collapsed with FlyQuest losing 4 of the 5 times they have played it in 2025.
Clip: Declan "Vexite" Portelli's 1v4 clutch, grabbing the last two kills with just three bullets left in his Tec-9, threatened to turn the decider FlyQuest's way only for the team to fumble versus pistols on the next round.
The latest defeat, a 16-14 loss to SAW here, came after 9-5 and 11-8 leads were held by Christopher "dexter" Nong and company on T side before the comeback kicked in.
A good Dust2 could have revived hopes, only for defeat on the decider of Ancient to seal their fate.

INS' 2024 form has collapsed
Joshua "INS" Potter' explosive form in 2024 was a key part of what made FlyQuest an interesting prospect, with him averaging a 1.23 rating last term.
That has collapsed to a 0.91 this year after 17 maps.

In fact, only regali has a rating above 1.00 for the team and that was the story on the Ancient decider as well, where he grabbed 4 kills in the pistol only for the team to lose a 2v1 clutch to João "story" Vieira.
The regali addition was all about firepower, as the team knew the value of aliStair's intangibles. Whether the trade was worth it remains to be seen.
SAW survive — for now
SAW's victory came despite some bumpy moments, to say the least.
Vexite's aforementioned 1v4 was one, and he also posted two kills on an unarmored USP against full weapons on Inferno.
Post-plant mistakes were also common, this one leaving Jason "moses" O'Toole speechless except one word: "Why."
But the win is what matters as the team look to make Ricardo "roman" Oliveira and José "Shr" Gil's farewell party one to remember.
