FlyQuest, the last hope of North America at Worlds 2024, have moved into the final round of the Swiss stage after a tough loss to Hanwha Life Esports. Despite the North American team showing commendable resistance against the Korean champions, the future of FlyQuest in the tournament remains uncertain. Massu, the team's rookie and AD Carry, gave an exclusive interview to Sheep Esports, where he shared his thoughts on the match and his first year in the LCS.
First Impressions: Is Victory Close?
Massu noted that although the team played at a respectable level, he was left disappointed with his performance. "I'm happy for the team, but I feel like I could have played much better. If I had shown my usual level of play, we would definitely have won," the player admitted. Nonetheless, despite the nerves and facing one of the best players in the world, Viper, Massu remains confident in his abilities and continues to improve his performance on the international stage.
Rookie's Journey: A Rapid Rise
FlyQuest and Massu have surprised many fans with their rapid rise. This year, the team won the LCS, participated in MSI, and is now competing at the World Championship. Massu admitted that he didn't expect such success in his first year. "I thought it would take me more time to achieve success, but I found myself in a team with amazing players, which helped me grow," he shared. However, the path to Worlds wasn't easy: the player faced nerves and impostor syndrome but is confident he can handle the pressure.
Survival Match: Are FlyQuest Ready?
Now every game for FlyQuest could be their last in the tournament. Currently, the team is at 2-2, which means they are one step away from elimination. However, Massu and his teammates refuse to dwell on the thought of losing: "We are just focusing on preparing for the next match. We can't let the fear of elimination affect our performance."
The massive support from fans and family gives Massu strength, who noted the importance of staying connected with loved ones, even though they don't always understand the intricacies of the game. FlyQuest is preparing for crucial matches and aiming to reach the quarterfinals, which would be a significant success for the team.
A Significant Year: Support and Reflections
This year has been especially significant for Massu, not only due to his achievements on the professional scene but also thanks to the support of his family and fans. "When we win, they are very happy, and it gives me strength. Even if they don't always understand what's happening in the game, they are always there." FlyQuest's next opponent will be Team Liquid, a match for a playoff berth.
