Cloud9 are strong favorites heading into their LCS 2026 Playoffs clash with FlyQuest, having already defeated them three times this season. Cloud9 dominated the Spring split with a perfect 7-0 record, while FlyQuest ended fourth but showed visible improvements recently. Despite Cloud9’s clear upper hand, FlyQuest have managed to keep games competitive and could pose problems if they control the early stages, as seen in recent matchups. The consensus is that Cloud9 should win, but FlyQuest’s recent form suggests an exciting and potentially close game.

Cloud9 vs FlyQuest Betting Predictions


Cloud9 and FlyQuest will face off on Sunday, May 24, in the first round of the League of Legends Championship Series 2026 Playoffs, marking their fourth clash of the season.
Cloud9 have won all three of their last meetings with FlyQuest, and they were the clear best team in LCS Spring, going 7-0 in the group stage with just four maps dropped.

FlyQuest barely placed above the cutoff line with four wins, so record-wise, Cloud9 appears to be in a much better shape.

That said, FlyQuest have been showing signs of life recently, and enough improvement to believe they can make this an entertaining affair.

  • FlyQuest are capable of doing serious damage
  • Cloud9 had a perfect run through the regular season
  • A close game is not out of the question

FlyQuest Have Yet to Derail Cloud9 This Season


FlyQuest and Cloud9 have met three times this season, and each game ended in C9’s favour.

Cloud9 Are in Excellent Shape


Cloud9 were the best team of the LCS 2026 Spring regular season by a mile. They placed at the top of the table with a 7-0 record and a 14-4 map difference.

They have dropped maps to LYON, Sentinels, Dignitas, and FlyQuest in a very competitive game. While those dropped maps mean nothing in the greater picture, Cloud9 are not as invincible as it may seem.

Their most recent game against Team Liquid was a solid performance. Liquid kept it close on map one for the first 15 minutes, before Cloud9 ran away with it. The second map was looking to be in favour of Liquid, but they could not make much happen with their composition.

A solid performance from Cloud9, who seem to be a tier above everyone else. 

Cloud9 Squad & Team News


No roster changes for Cloud9.

  • Park "Thanatos" Seung-gyu – top lane
  • Robert "Blaber" Huang – jungle
  • Eain "APA" Stearns – mid lane
  • Jesper "Zven" Svenningsen – ADC
  • Philippe "Vulcan" Laflamme – support

FlyQuest Are Ramping Up


FlyQuest ended the LCS Spring regular season in fourth place, with a 4-3 record, with two victories from their last three games. That stretch includes a 1-2 loss to Cloud9, as well as victories over Shopify Rebellion and LYON.

Even though a 2-1 record from three games does not seem impressive, FlyQuest did indeed keep the series against Cloud9 close, and they defeated LYON, so you can argue that they belong among the better teams in the LCS.

Their early-split performances weren’t that great, but over the last few weeks, FlyQuest have shown improvement.

There are also rumours that FlyQuest are doing extremely well in scrims, and based on their recent performances, that just might be correct.

FlyQuest Squad & Team News


FlyQuest have not announced any roster changes.

  • Ibrahim "GaKGoS" Bulut – top lane
  • Johnson "Gryffinn" Le – jungle
  • Song "Quad" Soo-hyung – mid lane
  • Fahad "Massu" Abdulmalek – ADC
  • Micheal "Cryogen" Luu – support

Verdict

Cloud9 have defeated FlyQuest three times before this season, and they’ll likely win again on Sunday. However, FlyQuest played C9 close not too long ago and have been showing improvement.

That does not mean FlyQuest should be considered as favourites, but they did a good job containing Cloud9’s early game last time out, and this is a good recipe for doing some damage.
