2023 LCS Spring Split Week 4 Day 3: FlyQuest Bounce Back With a Win as a Birthday Gift for Spica

FlyQuest closes out the first round robin of the LCS Spring in the first place with an 8-1 record.

To close out the 2023 LCS Spring’s first Superweek, FlyQuest were trying to recover from their first loss against a red-hot CLG, who were looking to close out the first round robin with a positive record. CLG were not alone in their position, as three more teams came into the day with a 4-4 record. Both TSM and GG had a great week, the former beating FlyQuest yesterday and the Guardians on a four-game win streak. Unfortunately for 100T, they lost both their games in Superweek and were looking for a last-day redemption.

With the Superweek on the 13.3 patch, we’ve also seen many interesting picks throughout the week, the biggest being Annie returning to pro play, but this time as a support. There were also some former fan favorites making appearances on the Rift such as Jarvan IV, Thresh and Aphelios.

CLG vs FLY

FLY started the game with an invade to limit the early opportunities for the enemy jungler, but Contractz still found successful ganks on both sides of the map and managed to get early kills for his team. On the other hand, VicLa was becoming more and more of a threat as he got ahead due to the invade and a couple of kills he got at the first Herald. CLG tried to answer the split pushing from FLY, but they had a rough time dealing with VicLa’s Yone and had to give up a very early Ocean Soul and a Baron.

Still, FLY wasn’t able to put the game to rest due to some overzealous plays. They had to wait for the second Baron spawn and looked to fight the enemy near the objective. They had a great turn and decimated CLG, giving a victory to Spica on his birthday.

• Teams: CLG 0 – 1 FLY
• Time: 29:34
• Kills: 8 – 12
• Turrets: 2 – 9
• Gold: 51.9k – 58k
• Dragons: 0 – 4
• Barons: 0 – 1

IMT vs EG

A very slow early game with only a couple of ganks not resulting in any kills. Both teams were content to trade the first objectives and just farm for the time being. So with no significant lead for either side, we had to wait for the first fight of the game. The fight itself went to EG’s way after Tactical flashed in very aggressively and died trading a kill. Finding the slimmest lead from that moment, EG started to push the tempo to the max and challenged IMT all around the Rift, whose members kept getting caught one by one at the side lanes.

Tactical almost turned some fights around for IMT, but nothing beyond some close calls. With the IMT solo laners falling quite behind, EG did not have trouble securing the big objectives on the map and extending their gold lead to over 10k. It took EG two Barons to crack the enemy base, but they eventually managed to break through and force their way to a victory.

• Teams: IMT 0 – 1 EG
• Time: 32:51
• Kills: 2 – 17
• Turrets: 3 – 11
• Gold: 51k – 65.4k
• Dragons: 2 – 3
• Barons: 0 – 2
