At first, ending the first week of the 2023 LCS Summer Split without a victory didn’t deter FlyQuest—there was always next week. But as that second week came and went, so did another loss, and another, and another.
That’s when the concern really started setting in. This was a team made of star talent from all over the world, one that bested a majority of the competition just a split ago and nearly emerged from the Spring Playoffs as victors. But with the Summer Split’s shortened schedule, every single match mattered, and now without a single victory FlyQuest was facing the real possibility of not qualifying for Playoffs—and missing their chance to qualify for the World Championship.
