FlyQuest started out their second round robin journey with another victory.
2023 LCS Spring Split kicked off its second half with multiple roster changes. Coming into Week 5, three teams announced that they were making some changes for their starting fives, DIG, FLY and C9. Finishing the first round robin 0-9, many expected some shake-up from the Dignitas side, and the most obvious candidate for change was their bot laner Spawn. With Dignitas Challengers in second place in NACL, DIG decided to give their Challengers ADC Tomo a shot in the big leagues.
The other two changes are a little less drastic. FlyQuest’s intended starting support Eyla finally arrived in the USA. He wasn’t able to join the team due to visa issues and FLY had to play with Winsome during the first four weeks. Despite going 8-1 without Eyla, FLY still decided to go with their preseason roster to give him a chance to acclimate to the team before playoffs.
The last change came from another top-three team. While they found a lot of success with Diplex this split, C9 decided to promote their Challengers mid laner EMENES to the LCS roster in anticipation of playoffs and a possible MSI ticket.

FLY vs 100T
An interesting mid lane matchup to start the week with the Annie from Bjergsen and the Swain answer from VicLa. And the action started early in that lane with the 100T mid/jungle duo finding a great gank for a fast first blood and FLY answering with a kill of their own a minute later. FLY was able to build an early lead for themselves, but their mid game seemed unorganized as they kept taking bad fights around the bottom lane and gave 100T a way back into the game with the Soul point.
But 100T decided to throw the game right back onto the FLY’s lap. They kept engaging on the VicLa’s Swain, and while they were able to kill him over and over they left Prince untouched. And we saw what an untouched Prince is able to do throughout the first half of the LCS, which was the case again as FLY closed the game out thanks to a 14/0/1 scoreline from their star bot laner.
It’s a #FLYWIN to start the day! #LCS pic.twitter.com/E5inJeGQQt
