They opened with a confident win over Legacy (13\u201310) and followed it up with a crucial victory against Imperial (13\u20136). After that, the team closed out the stage by sweeping Fluxo 2\u20130 in a decisive BO3. As a result, FlyQuest demonstrated an excellent balance of discipline, adaptation, and tempo control. Their T-sides looked the most polished in the stage.<\/p>\n<p>Key advantages included:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">strong execution on Inferno and Overpass,<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">proactive entry work,<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">impressive composure in clutch situations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>M80 (1\u20132nd) \u2014 North America\u2019s strongest representative<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>M80 became one of the most pleasant surprises of the stage.
