FlyQuest RED lose debut match at ESL Impact S4 LAN Finals
The ESL Impact Season 4 LAN Finals matched FlyQuest RED up against Fluxo Demons, in an American clash right out of the gates. In a match that was highly anticipated due to the similar level between both teams, FlyQuest RED and Fluxo delivered in a very close map that would end up seeing the Brazilians as the winners.
With this result, FlyQuest RED falls to the lower bracket where they will meet HSG who lost earlier today against Nigma Galaxy.
The veto ended with Inferno being left open and the North American team even started on the slightly favored CT-side, but it was the Demons that opened the score with the pistol round win and four more when FlyQuest RED finally woke up. A couple of retakes later, Fluxo extended the lead to 6-3 but RED didn't let them replicate the earlier streak. The half ended with the teams trading rounds and Fluxo Demons 7-5 ahead.
FlyQuest RED managed to win the second half pistol round convincingly and tied the game in the very next round 7-7. Fluxo took back control of the game and reached 11 before allowing RED to win another round. On the back of some good rounds, FlyQuest managed to tie the game and get advantage in the economy department, but against a force buy Fluxo Demons got to match point. With a quick round through banana, the North Americans sent the game to overtime.
With no economic issues, Fluxo Demons were off to a good start on OT, winning all three CT-side rounds, and closed the map in the very next round 16-12.
FlyQuest RED will now meet HSG fe in the lower bracket elimination match. The Bo3 series will happen tomorrow at 05:00AM.
