The lower-bracket final of the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) 2024 Championship pits FlyQuest against the surging 100 Thieves for a spot in the grand finals. The two squads met just once during the LCS 2024 Summer regular season, when FlyQuest eked out a 2-1 victory.
The top LoL betting sites have FlyQuest priced as favourites to defeat 100 Thieves for the second time. That is unsurprising, despite 100T’s shock victory against Cloud9 in the previous round.
100 Thieves have already exceeded expectations in the LCS 2024 Championship by placing top three and securing a spot at the 2024 LoL World Championship. However, they’ve had a fairly easy road, with two victories against Dignitas and one against Cloud9.
Beating Cloud9 is no small feat, but considering how C9 have performed this split — particularly in that series — it is hard to praise 100 Thieves too much. On the other side, Rayan “Sniper” Shoura and co. deserve some recognition for being able to punish Cloud9’s mistakes and poor drafting.
FlyQuest enter this match off a close 2-3 loss against Team Liquid, having previously beaten Cloud9 and NRG without any issues. Liquid have been the only serious threat to FlyQuest for the LCS title, and even they barely made it past Gabriël “Bwipo” Rau’s crew, who have made a strong case for themselves as North America’s No.2 team.
Picking a winner comes down to how much weight we can put on 100 Thieves’ run to this stage. While they beat Cloud9, they did not have to deal with strong resistance on the day, so it is fair to assume they will not have it as easy on Friday.
FlyQuest are still fairly vulnerable, especially in the early game. However, they will rarely go hard out of the gate, which should prevent 100 Thieves from getting too much traction early in the series.
FlyQuest to win with at least two maps to spare is a solid option at -126.58 with top League of Legends bookies.
