In a turn of events that feels almost poetically cyclical, FlyQuest has been crowned the champions of the League of Legends Championship of The Americas (LTA) 2025. Their decisive victory over Vivo Keyd Stars in the Grand Final is significant not just for the triumph itself, but because it marks the end of an era – the LTA’s singular season – and the imminent return to the familiar stomping grounds of the LCS and CBLOL ecosystems.
One might even suggest a certain flair for timing. FlyQuest, it turns out, was also the last organization to hoist the LCS trophy before its temporary rebrand into the LTA. To then become the final LTA champions feels less like coincidence and more like a carefully scripted narrative, ensuring their name is etched firmly at both the beginning and end of this brief, pan-American chapter in League of Legends esports history.
The Americas Experiment: A Brief, Victorious Interlude for FlyQuest
The LTA was introduced with the ambitious goal of unifying the competitive scene across the Americas for a single, impactful year. While the aspiration was grand, the execution, as is often the case in esports, proved to be a learning experience. Nevertheless, for one team, it became a stage for undeniable dominance. FlyQuest approached the LTA 2025 Championship with the confidence of their LTA North Split 2 Playoffs win, immediately asserting themselves in the upper bracket.
Their initial encounter with Vivo Keyd Stars was a clean sweep, pushing FlyQuest directly into the Grand Final. This gave them the enviable position of watching from the sidelines as their rivals battled for a second chance. Vivo Keyd Stars, demonstrating remarkable resilience, fought through the lower bracket, overcoming 100 Thieves with a 3-1 victory to set up a much-anticipated rematch. It was a testament to their fighting spirit, ensuring the final match would indeed pit the two strongest contenders against each other.
A Masterclass in the Grand Final
The Grand Final series itself was a showcase of FlyQuest’s strategic depth and individual prowess. They started strong, snatching the first two games in the best-of-five series, putting Vivo Keyd Stars on the brink of another quick defeat. However, Vivo Keyd Stars refused to capitulate, rallying in game three to keep their hopes alive and demonstrating why they earned their spot in the rematch.
But the momentum shift was short-lived. In game four, the seasoned veteran Gabriël ‘Bwipo’ Rau delivered a performance that can only be described as dominant, effectively sealing FlyQuest`s 3-1 victory. His impactful play solidified FlyQuest’s status as the undisputed top League of Legends team in the Americas, at least for the duration of this unique LTA chapter.
Beyond the Americas: Eyes on the World Championship 2025
With their regional duties spectacularly concluded, FlyQuest now turns its gaze towards the ultimate prize: the 2025 World Championship. Their LTA victory is not just a capstone on a successful regional season but also a significant momentum builder for the global stage. FlyQuest’s performance at the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) 2025, where they achieved a top-six finish after a thrilling five-game series against Bilibili Gaming, already highlighted their international capabilities. They were, notably, the highest-placing LTA roster at that event.
As one of the 16 elite teams to qualify for the Swiss Stage of Worlds, scheduled from October 15th to 25th, FlyQuest is poised for another deep run. The format demands consistency, with teams needing three wins across five rounds to advance to the Knockout Stage (October 28th to November 2nd), culminating in the Grand Final on November 9th. Their recent regional dominance, combined with their strong international showing at MSI, makes them a team to watch closely as they seek to translate Americas` supremacy into global renown.
The Legacy of a Fleeting Reign
FlyQuest’s victory serves as a curious footnote in League of Legends esports. They reigned supreme in a league that, almost as quickly as it arrived, is now departing. As the LCS and CBLOL prepare to reclaim their individual thrones in 2026, FlyQuest stands as a bridge between eras, a team that adapted, conquered, and now transitions with an unparalleled regional pedigree. Their journey in 2025 has been a testament to adaptability, skill, and perhaps, a touch of historical irony. The question now remains: can this unique regional dominance translate into global glory when the stakes are highest?
