One of the most exciting series in the first round of the Bracket Stage. The LPL first seed, Anyone’s Legend, battles the LTA North’s seed, FlyQuest. Expectations for this series are varied, with no one finding an ideal result to pick. AL are the favorites, but given previous international performances of some players and others not making their first international appearance, there are doubts. FlyQuest has also shown a capability to battle the best of the best.
MSI Day Five Schedule
The second round of the MSI Bracket Stage gets underway today at 5:00 p.m. PST (2:00 a.m. CET, July 3rd). North America will get its first opportunity to watch one of its teams play.
Anyone’s Legend Versus FlyQuest
Anyone’s Legend 3 – 2 FlyQuest
The series can go in many directions. Neither of these teams has played a series in some time, so we have to judge their form based on the regular season. AL were far and away the best LPL team with Tarzan as the standout. The last time Tarzan entered an international in dominant form, he disappointed T1 at the 2023 World Championship. If Tarzan struggles, AL might have an early exit from MSI. FlyQ is also a team for upsets and surprises with their unique drafts.
The results for this series could range from 3-0 to 3-2 for either team. The safe bet is to say an AL victory, but if FlyQ dominates the series, do not be surprised. The series is likely going to be explosive and one of the best to watch from the beginning of the Bracket Stage.
How the Day Will Impact Proceedings
AL and FlyQ already know their opponents in the upcoming MSI round. The winner of the series will meet the wounded tiger, GenG Esports, who looked weaker than everyone expected. The loser faces G2 Esports, who, despite early doubts, might be returning to form, albeit still with issues to fix.
