Meeting statistics

The current form of 3DMAX

3DMAX have the odds of winning of 1.50 on BetSteve.

Compared to 2023, the French team’s high-profile wins in 2024 were far less. They placed fourth at the RES Western European Masters: Spring 2024, 11th at the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European Qualifier, 11th at the IEM China 2024: European Open Qualifier, and 12th at the European RMR A. 3DMAX competed in the A1 Gaming League Season 8 before the ESL Pro League Season 19, placing second. At the ESL Pro League Season 19, they finished 12th.

3DMAX made additional attempts to establish themselves at the S-Tier competitions throughout the season. For instance, they competed in the Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2024 and placed 24th. At ESL Pro League Season 20, they made another attempt at doing something notable, but the outcome was worse than at ESL Pro League S19: top 20. 3DMAX performed significantly better in events with lower rankings. For instance, they placed in the top 3 at the Thunderpick World Championship 2024 and ESL Challenger League Season 48: Europe, and they were the winners of YaLLa Compass Summer 2024.

3DMAX made it to the Elimination Stage of the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR B; however, they concluded the competition in their own unique fashion: 13th place. They participated in BLAST Bounty Season 1 in 2025, but haven’t been playing there for very long, though, finishing 32nd.

The current form of FlyQuest

FlyQuest is a well-known brand in the North American eSports industry but a newcomer to the Counter-Strike 2 competitive scene. After acquiring the Australian team Greyhound, the organization, which is well-known for its League of Legends roster, is now prepared to conquer the Counter-Strike scene.

They participated in a number of qualifications in 2024; they played practically everywhere. They won qualifying at OneQode Frontier and IEM China 2024 but failed at RMR, the crucial tournament, not securing a berth at the PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024. FlyQuest finished in the top 8 at IEM China 2024. The top 12 at EPL Season 19 and the top 15 in the Esports World Cup 2024 followed.

FlyQuest competed at IEM Cologne 2024 after EWC 2024, where they placed 24th, and then at ESL Pro League Season 20, where they placed 28th. FlyQuest competed at ESL Challenger at DreamHack Atlanta 2024 and ELS Challenger League Season 48: Oceania prior to Shanghai Major 2024, winning both events.

FlyQuest placed first at the local RMR, earning a quota from Asia-Pacific for the PW Shanghai Major 2024. They finished in the Top 16 of the Legend Stage there. FlyQuest went to BLAST Bounty Season 1 right at the start of 2025. They advanced to the second round there but were defeated by Spirit, the world champions, and were eliminated from the competition at the top 16 level.
