3DMAX defeat FlyQuest on Inferno, move to 1–1 while FlyQuest fall to 0–2 at StarLadder Budapest Major 2025
November 29, 2025 — In the Swiss stage of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, 3DMAX defeated FlyQuest 13–7 on Inferno, moving to 1–1 while FlyQuest drop to 0–2, now facing a difficult path in the tournament.
The match’s direction was set during the map veto, highlighting the teams’ strategies and preferences:
- 3DMAX removed Mirage
- 3DMAX removed Ancient
- FlyQuest removed Nuke
- FlyQuest removed Overpass
- FlyQuest removed Train
- 3DMAX removed Dust2
- Inferno remained
On Inferno, 3DMAX demonstrated disciplined mid-round control and precise utility usage, consistently disrupting FlyQuest’s attempts to execute strategies. Despite the American squad’s efforts to regain momentum through aggressive plays, 3DMAX maintained composure and closed out the map with strong late-round performances.
This victory is a key result for 3DMAX, proving their ability to handle tough opponents at the Major level. For FlyQuest, the loss is a serious setback, as BO1 mistakes are costly and their margin for error is now minimal in the Swiss format.
For the audience, the match served as another reminder of the Major’s unpredictability: 3DMAX, not considered among the top favorites, managed to secure a vital win and stay in contention for the next stage.
