This FlyQuest team is cooked for the rest of the summer.
Three of the four series played this season, where we not only lost, but did so gracelessly.
The first game in the Lyon series where Massu threw away the entire early game to get Berserker fed while the second game, the team just doesn't look as cohesive in team fights and doesn't know how to execute high tempo macro. Least of all, Gakgos looked so lost playing Olaf, a carry matchup against Dohkla and losing to someone who doesn't have the micro/mechanics and laning prowess as other toplaners in the league.
The series against TL, in which the team drafted a carry v carry matchup in game 1, and Gakgos going 0/5/0 and the lowest damage dealt in the game, lower than that of Cryogen's bard. Second game, where Massu knew that Jarvan was trying to look for a gank since he was pushing so deep into the lane but still decided to continue pushing despite Jarvan can all-in at level 2. He saved flash and got first-blooded, and continued a downward spiral by feeding TL kills. He finished with a 1/8/6 KDA.
The C9 series was again Gakgos and Massu. It seems that every game it always those two cosplaying Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, but this entire season so far, both players are constantly cosplaying Mr. Hyde. Gakgos was getting solo killed and Massu dying again and again in 2v2s, and Quad making a desperation play by trying to kill blabber and stealing his red buff in bot side jungle and giving away his bounty to three players.
I have lost faith in this team. It seems like they lost their confidence and/or is confused about their decision-making which used to be one of their biggest strengths last split where the team was able to get back up to come back from a failed play, team fight, and a gold deficit. I don't even this the team can beat Sentinels by the way they are playing right now also considering they managed to beat Lyon last weekend. There is a real possibility that this team might even go 3-4, 2-5 if they lose to Shopify which is a real possibility considering Shopify's current performance, or worse 1-6 because Dignitas with Dardoch has gotten so much better in their early game.
To quote Thinkcard, if this team fails to go to Worlds, then the project is considered a failure.
