In its North American League Championship Series debut, FlyQuest earned its first series win, defeating Team EnVyUs 2-0 to kick off its Spring Split campaign.
Game 1 of this series should've looked familiar to fans of the old Cloud9 roster, as Hai "Hai" Lam's expert leadership was on full display for his new team. With the help of Galen "Moon" Holgate, Hai's Corki picked up two early kills, the first onto Alex "AlexIch" Ichetovin and the second onto Noh "Ninja" Geon-woo. From there on out, it was Hai's shotcalling that allowed FlyQuest to turn an early lead into a virtual shutout. FlyQuest rotated from objective to objective, taking tower after tower, and eventually nabbing an uncontested Baron despite having all five members of NV on the map. They would use the buff to open up NV's base, and end the game shortly after.
The second game looked to be an entirely different story for EnVyUs, as AlexIch grabbed his team an early lead by solo-killing Hai for first blood. NV would widen the lead by grabbing multiple early dragons and taking teamfight victories in the midgame, and it looked liked viewers would be in for a deciding Game 3. Unfortunately for NV, FlyQuest would set up a beautiful trap next to Baron, taking the ensuing teamfight and the buff. After that, it was all too easy for FlyQuest to roll over the next several engagements, break the base, and eventually take the 2-0 victory.
