Although the Australian team is only 28th in the HLTV rankings, FlyQuest could be considered the region's big breakthrough and surprise. Few thought that a bunch of 'downed flyers' could even break into the top 30, but the once-legendary shards of the best teams in the far south have managed to find a second wind.

It's worth noting that Joshua INS Porter has a stat line of 1.31 on a rating scale of 2.0 over the last three months. Even disregarding the level of his opponents, we should expect the FlyQuest entree-fragger to cause the Turks a lot of trouble. The same can be said for the Australian's winning streak in local tournaments, which now stands at eight matches.

Turkey's best team is slowly moving from a 'confident mid-tier' to a 'contender for the world's top 10. The recent BetBoom Dacha Belgrade event showed proof of this, where the XANTARES team sensationally won the silver medal. After sending MOUZ home with a dry scoreline, Eternal Fire showed they can sometimes compete on equal terms with European giants.

The Turks will need to rely on their attacking options in the next match. They are unlikely to be without Mirage or Anubis in the line-up, where their star players will be able to show off their individual strengths. In general, tactics are almost useless against such a skill advantage.

Eternal Fire met the current FlyQuest core in 2022 when the Australians were still playing under the Renegades banner. The 16-2 rout that ended the BO1 series could extend to BO3 as early as Tuesday. The problem for FlyQuest is that their territorial distance from the European Counter-Strike does not allow them to train consistently against quality opponents. Only 100 Thieves have managed to break through this barrier, but the Australians don't look competitive.
