Inspired admits he didn’t watch a single game of his opponent ahead of LTA finals

After FlyQuest’s confident victory over Vivo Keyd Stars in the LTA Championship upper bracket finals, League of Legends jungler Inspired revealed that his preparation for the match was far from conventional.

“Should I be honest? I didn’t really watch their [VKS’] games. I didn’t really know what to expect. But they played okay. I could tell they were really scared of us, and every time we’re like, posturing, they’re walking away. Whenever they wanted to play aggressive, they were grouped as five. So it was kinda easy to tell when they wanna make a play, so it was easy to disengage,” Inspired said to Emily Rand in a LTA post-match interview. 

Inspired also pointed out that VKS gave FlyQuest a “lot of space” on the map, allowing the North American team to execute their plans flawlessly, leading to a comfortable win over the LTA South’s first seed team. He also backed 100 Thieves in their matchup against RED and the team defeated the Brazilian squad by 3-0.

While Inspired didn’t get the player of the series because it was handed over to Busio, Inspired also had a stellar performance. He had a KDA of 13/2/47, with key jungle champions like Trundle, Ivern, and Vi. Two of these champions, Ivern and Vi, were also his first-time picks in the LTA North, which shows his ability to do well even when his champions are banned.

After a devastating loss, Vivo Keyd Stars will need to regroup in the lower bracket and avoid another setback that could stall their momentum ahead of the international tournament in China.

FlyQuest wait for their opponents at the LTA Championship grand finals, where they’ll face the winner of the lower bracket match between Vivo Keyd Stars and 100 Thieves. All three teams have already qualified for Worlds 2025.
