LoL Worlds 2024: FlyQuest Faces Off Against Gen.G in Quarterfinals Showdown

The quarterfinals of the League of Legends World Championship 2024 have reached their climax, with FlyQuest, the top seed from the North American LCS, set to face off against the Korean powerhouse Gen.G. This highly anticipated match is scheduled for Sunday, October 20, and will determine which team advances to the semifinals to face T1.

Gen.G, the MSI 2024 winners and one of the favorites to win the tournament, have been dominant so far. They won the LCK Spring Split and remained undefeated in the Swiss Stage of Worlds 2024. Led by key players such as Kiin, Canyon, Chovy, Peyz, and Lehends, Gen.G is known for their cohesive team play and strategic execution.

FlyQuest, on the other hand, enters the match as significant underdogs. Despite their strong performance in the LCS Summer Split, where they won the final against Team Liquid, FlyQuest faces a daunting task against Gen.G. The team, comprising Bwipo, Inspired, Quad, Massu, and Busio, will need to pull off a major upset to advance. This will be FlyQuest’s first-ever Worlds quarterfinal appearance, and they are aware of the immense challenge ahead.

The match will be a best-of-five series, with the winning team advancing directly to the semifinals. The stakes are high, and the pressure is on FlyQuest to make history for the Western region, which has not seen a team advance past the quarterfinals since 2020.

Fans can watch the match on various platforms, including YouTube, Twitch, and the LoL Esports website, where they can also earn drops. The match is scheduled to start at 2 p.m. CEST, 8 a.m. ET, and 5 a.m. PT.

The community is abuzz with anticipation, with many fans and analysts discussing the potential outcomes and strategies that FlyQuest might employ to counter Gen.G’s strong team dynamics. Inspired, FlyQuest’s jungler, has emphasized the need for patience and precise team plays to stand a chance against the Korean giants.
