FlyQuest RED eliminated from ESL Impact S4 LAN Finals after surprising loss
After Shimmer was eliminated at the end of Day 1 of the ESL Impact Season 4 LAN Finals, it was up to FlyQuest RED to make North America proud. The NA champions would be facing HSG fe to start Day 2 in an elimination Bo3 but looked far from what fans are used to.
With this result, FlyQuest RED are now eliminated from the ESL Impact Season 4 LAN Finals, while HSG fe will have a rematch against Nigma Galaxy later today.
The series started off in Ancient, picked by HSG fe. The Asian team got an early 3-0 lead, replied by three in a row from FlyQuest RED, in what would be the rhythm of the first half, as the same sequence would happen again, with the teams reaching halftime tied 6-6. The second half on the T-side for the Americans was bleak, as HSG fe did not allow FlyQuest RED any round wins. The map ended 13-6 and RED went down 1-0 early in the series.
Overpass started with FlyQuest RED winning the T-side pistol round and the following one. HSG fe replied with ten in a row, taking control of the first half, and ending it 10-2 ahead. With a mountain to climb, FlyQuest RED lost the second half pistol round, sinking a bit more. With the economic advantage, HSG fe cruised to a 13-2 score and closed the series 2-0.
