Can FlyQuest Win Worlds? Might Be the Ultimate Hopium, but Also a Real Possibility

With the last few games of the League of Legends Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage just ahead of us, and the west’s two surviving teams barely hanging in there, one thing is certain: MKOI’s chances of beating T1 are slim, potentially leaving FlyQuest as the only team besides G2 who could go the distance. But can they win the championship against all odds? Well, with a bit of luck in the Knockout Stage, it’s certainly possible, and that’s coming from someone who’s totally not biased towards FlyQuest.

The first thing that needs to happen is for FlyQuest to win against CFO, who have shown amazing form at the start of the tournament, even beating T1 in a Bo1 game. However, they’ve been shaky in their Bo3 games, losing both to HLE and AL later on. If the Flying Quest beats Flying Oysters, T1 expectedly mows through MKOI, and let’s say TES beats the choking BLG as they should, we’ll be left with the following Swiss Stage results:

Now, let’s say those predictions turn out to be true, we’ll be left with KT, AL, Gen.G, HLE, G2, TES, FlyQuest, and T1 moving on to the Knockout Stage. Here is where Lady Luck will have to smile on FlyQuest and deal them in the same part of the bracket as G2, KT, and TES, all fairly beatable opponents.

However, the mathematical odds of this happening are ~5.56%. Yes, you read that correctly, and it’s 1/18 if you prefer fractions. You can go even further and hope that G2 is their first opponent, making the odds of that happening ~2.78% (1/36). The is an example of what the brackets could look like if the scenario above plays out:

Any true FlyQuest cope… ughm, hoper* will take those odds as a blessing, as they are infinitely better than zero. Plus, it’s fearless draft, and Bo5s at that, and there are plenty of pocket picks FlyQuest has to cook with, those that most Korean and Chinese players don’t see even when they play SoloQ.

So, can FlyQuest win Worlds? Yes, absolutely! Can others win, too? Yes, and frankly, the odds are overwhelming that some team other than FlyQuest will. But that’s no reason to lose hope, especially now that we’ve seen giants be defeated by the underdogs throughout the Swiss Stage.

Who are the real favorites to win Worlds 2025?

If we’re being realistic, there are four favorites to win Worlds 2025, and they are Anyone’s Legend, T1, Gen.G, and Hanwha Life Esports. All of those teams have shown amazing performances this year, from their regional championships to MSI, and now at Worlds. However, upsets can happen, so let’s not completely write off anyone for now.
