FlyQuest Crushes G2 Esports 3:0 at MSI 2025: How NA’s New Heroes Swept EU’s Giants

A New NA Era: FlyQuest’s Statement Win

Did you know? On July 4th, North America’s FlyQuest delivered one of the most dominant performances in recent MSI history, sweeping Europe’s G2 Esports 3:0 in the lower bracket. This wasn’t just a victory—it was a statement. FlyQuest, often overlooked on the international stage, showcased a level of synergy, creativity, and confidence that electrified the Vancouver crowd and sent shockwaves through the global League of Legends community. The win not only kept NA’s hopes alive at their home event but also reignited the storied NA vs EU rivalry on the world stage.

Set 1: G2’s Early Fire, FlyQuest’s Relentless Response

The first game started with G2’s Hans Sama grabbing two early kills, giving European fans hope for a turnaround. But FlyQuest quickly found their rhythm. Inspired’s jungle pathing and timely ganks, combined with Bwipo’s Sion outplaying Caps and methodically taking down towers, flipped the game’s momentum. FlyQuest’s macro decisions—rotating for objectives, punishing G2’s overextensions, and controlling vision—slowly suffocated G2’s options. Despite G2’s aggressive start, FlyQuest’s discipline shone through, closing out the game with superior teamfighting and map control.

Set 2: Massu’s Baron Steal and the Turning Point

G2 once again found early success, with Hans Sama picking up another pair of kills and Caps landing a solo kill. Yet, FlyQuest’s resilience was on full display. The pivotal moment came when Massu, FlyQuest’s rookie ADC, stole Baron with Varus—a play that broke G2’s last hopes of a comeback. From there, FlyQuest snowballed their lead, outmaneuvering G2 in rotations and teamfights. The creative draft, including a Garen top and Bard support, kept G2 guessing and unable to adapt. This game, lasting 39 minutes, was a slugfest that ended with FlyQuest firmly in control.

Set 3: Total Domination and G2’s Collapse

By the third game, G2 looked rattled and out of sync. FlyQuest drafted Yorick and Trundle for top-side dominance, and the synergy between Bwipo and Inspired completely shut down G2’s attempts to regain footing. Teamfights were one-sided, side lanes were lost, and the European squad appeared disoriented. FlyQuest’s confidence was palpable—they played with poise, discipline, and a sense of inevitability. The final game was the shortest of the series, as FlyQuest clinically closed out the sweep, eliminating G2 from MSI 2025.

Key Players: Massu and Inspired Shine Bright

The MVP of the series was undoubtedly Massu, whose mechanical prowess, positioning, and clutch plays—especially the Baron steal—set the tone for FlyQuest’s victories. Inspired, the Polish jungler, finished with a staggering 20/2/20 KDA, earning widespread praise for his map awareness and playmaking. Bwipo’s solo kill on Caps and Busio’s calm support play further highlighted FlyQuest’s collective strength. G2’s standouts, like Caps and Hans Sama, had moments of brilliance but couldn’t match FlyQuest’s consistency and adaptability.

Fan Reactions: NA Euphoria, EU Disappointment

On NA forums like Reddit and Inven, fans erupted in celebration. Comments like “NA is back!” and “Massu is the future” dominated the threads, with roughly 80% positive sentiment among North American fans. European communities, including PGR21 and DCInside, were more somber, with about 70% expressing disappointment but also respect for FlyQuest’s growth. A standout comment read: “G2 looked lost, but FlyQuest earned this. NA needed a hero, and they found one.” The match trended on Twitter, with memes about the ‘Independence Day miracle’ and FlyQuest’s ‘home soil buff’ going viral.

Post-Match Interviews: Humble Confidence from FlyQuest

In post-match interviews, Massu remained humble, stating, “I still think individually I have a lot to work on, and as a team we also do, so I think we still have a lot more.” Busio joked about the team dancing backstage after Game 2, while Inspired credited their early game swaps and preparation for the win. The players emphasized that, despite the sweep, their journey isn’t over—they’re aiming for the MSI trophy.

Cultural Insight: Why This Win Matters for NA Fans

For overseas fans, understanding the cultural context is key. North America has long struggled for international respect in League of Legends, often overshadowed by EU, Korea, and China. FlyQuest’s win on July 4th—America’s Independence Day—carried symbolic weight, representing both regional pride and a break from past disappointments. The Vancouver crowd’s energy, the team’s underdog story, and the emotional outpouring online all reflect a fanbase hungry for international validation. For G2, the loss is a wake-up call, but for NA, it’s a moment of hope and belief.

What’s Next: FlyQuest’s Road Ahead

With this win, FlyQuest advances to face the loser of T1 vs Bilibili Gaming, while G2 exits MSI 2025 after a six-game losing streak. The narrative now shifts to whether FlyQuest can carry this momentum further and finally bring an international trophy home to North America. As the tournament continues, all eyes will be on Massu, Inspired, and the rest of FlyQuest to see if this Cinderella run can become a new chapter in NA’s League of Legends history.
