[hkes_show_google_ad] Since soaring high at the beginning of the NA LCS split, FlyQuest has now dipped down beneath the clouds. Though relegation is not on the horizon for the team this split ― and a playoff berth still could be ― their 6-1 start has been clipped to an overall record of 8-9. theScore esports asked FlyQuest’s top laner An “BalIs” Van Le about where FlyQuest’s issues have come from, what they’re doing to change those, and for his response to a recent comment from Immortals jungler Joshua “Dardoch” Hartnett that FLY “don’t take things seriously.” What has been the single biggest challenge for FlyQuest these past few weeks? I think the biggest challenge for us is finding out what champs are good for us in the meta and being able to play them well on stage. What is the key to fixing that problem? Playing the champs well in scrims and being able to transfer it in to LCS. Was there a specific moment when the team realized that something had to change? Well starting off 6-1 and then being 1-8 our last 9 games will probably do that for us. Dardoch recently said in an interview that FlyQuest “seems like they don’t take things seriously … they’re not here to be the best.” What is your response to that? I think we were trying out too many champions at once and we usually have a bad track record in scrims, but we still took scrims seriously. Who do you consider your favorite player opponent in the top lane, and why? [Kim “Ssumday” Chan-ho] is my favorite opponent to play against because I watched his stream a lot before and he’s a good laner. What has been the best part of this split so far for you? I think our first week in LCS when we went 2-0 was a very good feeling. What sorts of support have you received from the FlyQuest organization? They help us with any problems we have. Will we ever see another Darius Pentakill from you? Maybe if Darius becomes meta again and I get to worlds. [hkes_show_google_ad]
