FlyQuest made its way into the Stage 2 portion of the IEM Cologne Major after eliminating Liquid in a match described as anything but close. Across two timid offensive halves, Liquid only managed five rounds , a result that ultimately sent the team out of the Major with a whimper. FlyQuest’s performance was strong enough that the margin was characterized in reports as one-sided and defining. With qualification secured, the focus now turns to how FlyQuest carries the momentum forward into Stage 2, while Liquid looks back at a Stage 1 exit marked by limited offensive output and an inability to keep pace.
