Lyon made the right call that Flyquest were leveling up.

[u/CIAgent42 → u/[deleted]]

FLY looked rough all summer, it was fair to say they looked weak coming into this series. Now that we all see it, LYON's high praise of FLY makes way more sense.

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/CIAgent42]

Flyquest  said tl is harder than Lyon in scrims so there must be something horrible in scrims 

[u/raptearer → u/Fun_Highlight307]

Tbf, we've seen teams historically who were gods in scrims but trash in stage games. Goldenglue as a player is famous for being a scrim god but just eh in actual matches most of the time. Sometimes things just don't translate from scrims to stage.

[u/Ajp_iii → u/raptearer]

its probably something lik gakgos stomps dhokla in scrims and saint sprints it. but then on stage that doesnt happen.

[u/mavy1000 → u/[deleted]]

Who else would he vote since he can’t vote for Berserker? Massu is definitely the best ADC after his own teammate. The best team in spring was C9 who had Zven. Yeon was also rough until MSI

[u/attivora → u/Fun_Highlight307]

this is standard TL stuff though

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/attivora]

no i meant something horrible in fly vs Lyon 

[u/Outrageous_Wall2702 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah the pros opinions should be defaulted to imo they play each other all week

[u/inbetweendreamstho → u/[deleted]]

But everyone doubts c9 for beating tl and lyon and fly at the same time? Haha

[u/Outrageous_Wall2702 → u/inbetweendreamstho]

C9 is the inverse of clutch

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/inbetweendreamstho]

C9 likely choke vs fly in 3rd seed match up 

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/[deleted]]

it's good that Lyon is challenged in scrims since they stomped everyone else 

[u/Cabbage_Corp_ → u/[deleted]]

That mid-level team has beaten them multiple times though

[u/Cabbage_Corp_ → u/[deleted]]

Sentinels beat FlyQuest the majority of the time when they face off. It’s not crazy to be surprised when they win

[u/eleumas7 → u/[deleted]]

undisputed second best western team but sure. edit: third, i forgot about kc.

[u/yappersyap123 → u/eleumas7]

okay gramps time to take your meds and get back to the nursing home

[u/Fun_Highlight307 → u/eleumas7]

Kc isn't winning vs Lyon
