FlyQuest vs. PSG Talon: The Matchup
Ahead of the match, many predicted a closely contested battle between the two teams, and that’s exactly what transpired. The first map remained neck and neck throughout most of the match. While Massu on Jinx kept FlyQuest’s hopes alive, Betty’s Senna grew stronger as the game progressed, allowing PSG to take a 1-0 lead.
However, the North American team didn’t back down and quickly responded thanks to Bwipo’s outstanding performance on Urgot, going 10/0/7 and dominating the Taiwanese squad.
