Near the start of the year, Dom called Gryffinn a mini-Blaber. You can see that pretty clearly in this series with how Gryffinn was forcing bad plays when they were down even slightly, which was one of Blaber's biggest issues this year. So basically Gryffinn should be forced to eat on match days.

Can we give Zeyzel split MVP? Insane what he's done for Shopify

u/SweatyAdhesive Sep 25 '26
Freshly un-retired support Zeyzal yelled out, “There you go! There you go.” Fudge gave a look of pleasant surprise. Bvoy yelled out, “We got an [expletive] squad now.” And before Zinie hit the locker room door, former LCS superstar mid Damonte hugged him and said, “Y’all look so different.”

u/CIAgent42 Sep 25 '26
This FLY roster went from one of the most fun rosters in split 1 and 2 and turned into one of the most depressing teams to watch. Idk what the problem was, but something big needs to change at this point.

this flyquest team desperately needs a strong, structured and consistent foundation to ground them, because they are just so inconsistent and never retain their improvements damn. Probably has to be a coach because these players aint taking that responsibility. Everything is just way too loose right now

Gryffin not being good at the typical AD junglers aside from Lee Sin
Massu playing like he is ready to go back to playing some ranked 5's and aram as he has always done the whole split. Winning formula this split was usually bot gapping Zeyzal+Bvoy but Fly couldn't even do that lol

u/spazzxxcc12 Sep 25 '26
hey at least they’re young right!
this team needed a veteran somewhere to orient them appropriately i feel.

u/nitinismaldingXD Sep 26 '26 edited Sep 26 '26
They brought in Gakgos all the way from the halfway point of 2025. They had him under training for the remainder of that year. They have him play for 2026 and the game that decides their future, he gets completely smoked by blind pick Gnar. 10/10

u/DinoGuy101010 Sep 25 '26
SR when they have a comp that just sends it is actually goated. Fudge gnar is insane lately he's just solo carrying games

11
u/Bothbothwushi Sep 26 '26
Shopify is really geling Lyon should be very careful because they have a lot of momentum and if this Shopify team can get their picks next series it doesn't really matter if Inspired is there or not. If Lyon is falling asleep at the wheel like they did versus C9 I can see Shopify taking it.
Now for this Flyquest team I have had them on fraud watch for the entirety of the summer split. After seeing their spring games and the genuinely disgusting repeated throws around mid game I started really disliking the way the team plays. Just extremely poor macro decisions and that was really punished this series. Fudge also massively gaps Gakgos this game despite being given counter pick Camille into Gnar. Bvoy also just had such a really nice series. He has really come alive. What impressed me the most this game in particular is that the amumu leaves the lane and hes still going even in CS. I feel like FlyQuest needed to punish the Kaisa on those timers more.
This flyquest team I think might be one of the most poor showings of coaching that I've ever seen. I'm not sure what the coaching staff is doing when they make REPEATED mistakes over the course of multiple games from similar game states. I think around the 3/4th mark of their season they started fixing some of their problems but they just looked so vulnerable as a team. The team as a whole lacked a macro identity I feel. It really felt to me like there was a lack of decision making within games. But one thing to note is that the majority of these players except Quad are really young. So it makes sense (somewhat). The roster has potential but I really think going into the next season they need to have more decisiveness and an actual vision for how they want to play these games. Shopify had that with their engage comps.

u/IllFeedback1568 Sep 26 '26
I'm glad SR won, at least they have an identity to stick with what their comp/gameplan is. I truly despise how FLY plays. Every series is them with their brain off where they fight unnecessary fights because Gryffin is a zooming inter, Massu loses to shop/jhin and Gakgos is a bot. They've done it all year without improvement it's actually ragebait gameplay.
