Cloud9 vs FlyQuest will be an intense matchup commencing on Day 1 of the tournament. However, Cloud9 is entering the stage as the clear favorite as they are way ahead of FlyQuest in terms of experience playing on big stages like this.

Previously, Cloud9 got a headstart in their PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major journey as they won all their matches in the opening stage. However, they were shocked after losing against Team Spirit in the playoff stages. Following their loss, they managed to turn the tide in their favor for a while and won three straight matches.

However, Cloud9 fell short of expectations against Team Vitality and took an early exit from the playoff stage. After a hefty loss against the French Powerhouse, Boombl4 and company are eager to reclaim their status as an unstoppable force in the CS2 competitive scene.

On the other hand, Team FlyQuest is making a debut as an organization in the CS2 competitive scene after signing the GrayHound Gaming roster. FlyQuest’s roster isn’t to be ignored as the ex-GrayHound roster has a lot of experience in the Asia and Oceania circuit. They have had immense success during both the IEM Chengdu and Dallas 2024 qualifiers.

The roster was able to bag victories over some of the big names in the tier-2 scene and have secured the top position in all of the qualifiers, namely the IEM Chengdu 2024: Oceanic Qualifier, IEM Dallas 2024: Oceanic Qualifier, PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: Oceanic Qualifier, and more. Up until now, their success has mainly been in the Oceania circuit, so they will be eager to showcase their abilities on an international stage like this.

Head-to-head

Cloud9 and FlyQuest have never crossed paths in any CS2 tournaments.

Previous results

Cloud9 lost their previous matchup against the European Powerhouse Team Vitality.
