Eternal Fire dominate FlyQuest to progress to next stage of EPL

The Turkish squad overpowered their Aussie opponents with pure firepower.

Eternal Fire eased into Stage 2 of ESL Pro League thanks to a comfortable 2-0 win over FlyQuest, blowing the Australians out of the server on Inferno (13-3) and Nuke (13-5).

FlyQuest were not competitive on either map, finding themselves completely outclassed by an Eternal Fire side that was firing on all cylinders individually.

Despite defeat FlyQuest are not out of the running in Stockholm, as they can look forward to a match in the 2-2 pool that will serve as their last chance to secure a spot in the next stage.

Eternal Fire brush off TYLOO stumble

Eternal Fire were comfortable favorites to make it through this stage of EPL with a 3-0 record, but they hit a surprise stumbling block when TYLOO upset them in the second round of matches.

The Turks did not let the disappointment derail their campaign, however, as they have now secured confident victories over NRG and FlyQuest to qualify for the next stage.

Ali "⁠Wicadia⁠" Haydar Yalçın led the charge as Eternal Fire's individual form overwhelmed their opponents, with the youngster posting 1.74 and 1.85 ratings across their last two series.

After a disappointing early playoffs exit at PGL Cluj-Napoca, plenty of eyes are locked on Eternal Fire to see if they can put together a deep run in EPL. The higher calibre of teams in the next stage will server as a better test of where the Turkish side's form is at right now.

FlyQuest roll over

FlyQuest offered virtually no resistance in this series. After a promising win over paiN to get to the 2-1 pool this was a thoroughly disappointing follow-up, and even though they faced stiff opposition, the manner of the performance was still concerning. The Australian squad will have to find another gear if they are to take advantage of their final chance to progress.
