League of Legends: LCS match spring Week 4 – 100 Thieves vs. FlyQuest

With Week 4 of the LCS kicking off, we take a look at the best game of professional League of Legends play this weekend. 100 Thieves and FlyQuest enter the game with an even record, who will emerge victorious?

The professional League of Legends scene returns this weekend with Week 4 of the LCS play. While the ten matches on the slate this weekend should be compelling to watch, one stands out above the rest. Who will emerge victorious in the Day 1 match between 100 Thieves and FlyQuest?

FlyQuest (3-3)

FlyQuest had a rough time last weekend, dropping both of their games. Their 0-2 week caused them to fall from a team that was contending for the first spot in the LCS to a team firmly in the middle of the pack.

Their loss to Liquid on Day 1 was disappointing, but it would have been a tall task to take down the best team in the LCS. The loss to Echo Fox, however, was one they would probably want to have back. They fell behind due to some mid-game misplays, leaking away deaths and misplaying team fights before eventually losing to the team behind them in the standings.

100 Thieves (3-3)

On the other side, we have a team on the upswing. 100 Thieves went 2-0 last weekend, taking down Clutch and CLG. Yes, those two teams aren’t exactly world-beaters, but considering 100 Thieves were at the bottom of the table with a 1-3 record at the time, taking two wins off even average opponents is cause for celebration.LCS match

Neither game was particularly clean, however. Their victory over Clutch took over 51 minutes to secure, making it the longest game of the split so far. This was in spite of the fact that the Thieves had over a 2k gold lead at the 15-minute mark; they still struggled to take objectives on time, win team fights, and close out the game.

Their second game against CLG was a similar story, with the Thieves taking gold leads at the 10 and 15-minute marks, but still requiring 41 minutes to end the game. If the Thieves don’t pull ahead early in this game, they could be in trouble in the LCS match of the week against FlyQuest.
