Golden Guardians vs FlyQuest Prediction: FLY to Succeed

On Sunday, July 24, the first day match of the fifth week of the League of Legends Championship Series 2022 Summer tournament will take place. Golden Guardians and FlyQuest will clash in this match.

League of Legends Championship Series 2022 Summer (LCS 2022 Summer) is the second split of the tenth year of the professional League of Legends in North America. Ten teams compete in a round-robin group stage to advance to the playoffs for a $200,000 prize pool and a trip to Worlds 2022. This split takes place from June 17 to August 14, 2022  

This split didn't start out well for Golden Guardians. Having lost in the opening match against FlyQuest, the Guardians improved and in the second match defeated Cloud9 in a fairly tense game. The third game was also tense, but this time CLG won, thus sending Golden Guardians to a score of 1-2, at the end of the first game week. On the first day of the second week, the boys faced 100 Thieves, who gave the boys no chance to go out on a 2-2 score. On the final day of week two, the Guardians beat TSM, 2-3. On the first day of week three, the guys defeated the Immortals in a blowout, coming in fifth place. At the end of the week, Golden Guardians lost to Evil Geniuses, which sent the guys to rest with a bad attitude. Week 4 began with the defeat against Team Liquid, which further dampened the guys' spirits. The Guardians easily won over Dignitas, taking sixth place, along with Cloud9. Today the guys will play against FlyQuest, which will be difficult to overcome.

Golden Guardians is an American cybersports organization run by the NBA team Golden State Warriors. Golden Guardians is an NA LCS franchise organization created by Golden State Warriors. After finishing 10th twice in their debut year, the team restructured and has made the playoffs 3 times since then. In December 2019, the team rebranded, getting rid of the blue color and changing the logo to the one we know today.

The Guardians did not play well in the spring split. After finishing in sixth place, 9-9, they made the playoffs, but lost 3-0 to Cloud9 in the first round, dropping out of 5th-6th place. Before the summer split, the organization replaced only one player.

The summer split for FlyQuest has begun well. Having beaten Golden Guardians in the opening match, the guys were set to go 3-0 after the first game week, but Immortals turned the second game day around, thus sending FlyQuest to 1-1. The third game day was not good either. Evil Geniuses again dominated in a head-to-head encounter, thereby leaving FlyQuest trailing 1-2 at the end of week one. The second week started much more confidently. After defeating Counter Logic Gaming, who went 3-0, FlyQuest gained confidence in the upcoming meeting against Team Liquid, which helped them. FlyQuest gave a good fight to Team Liquid but still lost, thus stopping at 2-3. The week began with an important win, against Dignitas, after which FlyQuest came in fifth place, 3-3. At the end of the week, FlyQuest defeated Cloud9, which gave the guys confidence and the score was 4-3, after the first three weeks of play. Week 4 started with another resounding victory. This time FlyQuest kicked out 100 Thieves, who made only one kill the entire game. At the end of the week, FlyQuest made the mistake of giving the win to TSM, thus breaking their winning streak. Tonight the boys will face the Golden Guardians.

FlyQuest (FLY for short) is an American professional eSports organization founded by Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wesley Edens and Fortress Investment Group in December 2016 that is currently participating in League of Legends. FlyQuest debuted in the NA LCS 2017 spring season after purchasing a spot in Cloud9 Challenger, which was moved to the LCS through a promotional tournament. Their first lineup was formed when they were joined by 4 Cloud9 Challenger players - Balls, Hai, Altec, and LemonNation. They were joined by former Team Liquid player and analyst Moon to complete the lineup. In their first split, the team made the playoffs, where they placed 4th, defeating Counter Logic Gaming in the quarterfinals, losing to Team SoloMid in the semifinals, and Phoenix1 in the 3rd place match.

FlyQuest finished the spring split well. After losing the tiebreak for fourth place to Evil Geniuses, FlyQuest went into the playoffs in fifth place, 9-9 overall. The playoffs themselves turned out not too good. Facing Evil Geniuses again, who lost their match in the top draw, FlyQuest could do nothing, finishing in 5th-6th place in that split. Before the summer split, the organization replaced one player.

In this match, we will take FlyQuest, the total frags over 24.5, and the duration of the map under 33 minutes.
