FlyQuest eliminated from MSI
PSG Talon defeated North American representatives FlyQuest in a thrilling match at the 2024 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational to guarantee their spot in the bracket stage. FlyQuest made significant investments in their League of Legends squad for 2024, and during their inaugural split, they qualified for the Masters. They would, however, lose to PSG Talon and exit the competition in the play-in round. Major regions have always been upset by PSG Talon, and MSI 2024 has been no exception. And even though FlyQuest had defeated them 2-1 in their previous meeting at this event, PSG Talon prevailed in the crucial moments.

Although this loss wasn’t quite as devastating as FlyQuest’s historic loss to T1, it still means that the second-best LCS team is eliminated from the competition. Although this team was expected to perform well, things didn’t work out.
Game 1
The series opener for FlyQuest showcased PSG Talon’s versatility and strategic skill despite the team’s early optimism. The PCS reps quickly took control of the game by taking advantage of FlyQuest’s overstretching in the jungle. They did this by carefully setting up vision dominance in the top lane, which allowed them to leverage advantages in other regions of the Rift. PSG Talon capitalized on their lead with well-executed teamfights and strategic macro moves, winning handily and establishing the series’ tone in the process. For the first twenty minutes of Game 1, there was very little action on the map, with PSG Talon holding a small lead. Just before the 20-minute mark, Bwipo attempted to make an impact with his lead, but his engage was a little off from the rest of FlyQuest. It was never ideal to have to fight their way into Azir’s passive tower.
At this time, the game really took a turn for the worse, as the LCS team lost Drake Soul and never really recovered. Even though he was an MVP-caliber jungler, Inspired didn’t really contribute to this game.

Game 2
But PSG Talon really showed who was superior in the second and last game of the series. They set the early pace of the game, making the most of early advantages with well-executed ganks and fights around strategic objectives. With the gold lead growing and kill differentials increasing, FlyQuest found themselves more and more behind PSG Talon’s unrelenting assault.
Inspired made the mistake of trading an early Drake for top-side pressure in Game 2, which was an early mistake by FlyQuest but possibly the right call if he could gain the upper hand. However, FlyQuest overchased, the initial gank went wrong, and they had a very difficult start.
FlyQuest just crumbled after that. FlyQuest lost against PSG Talon lopsidedly as they were consistently outplayed and outwitted. There were tower dives, lost Drakes, and total sidelane collapses. Jensen and Inspired witnessed the collapse of both sides of the map throughout this terrible game.

They never had a chance in Game 2, as FlyQuest’s final kill total was 5 compared to PSG Talon’s 28. By the end of the set, the sadness and devastation were evident on the faces of all the FlyQuest players.
