Match Prediction: FlyQuest - Nemiga Gaming | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM China 2024Welcome to EGamersWorld.
The situation in the group stage of IEM China 2024 is gaining momentum. The first teams have already left the championship and are preparing for further tournaments in their calendar.
However, there are still plenty of contenders for passage to the next stage. Among them are Nemiga Gaming and FlyQuest, who will compete in Bo3 for the right to continue participation in IEM China 2024 and try to make it to the play-offs.
Let's see who from the pair of Nemiga and FlyQuest will move further down the lower grid, and who will have to pack their bags and leave the tournament.
Let's go.
FlyQuest uniforms
Let's start the match analysis with FlyQuest's form. In this match, the Aussies under the American club's tag will play the first number one with odds to win at around 1.7.
FlyQuest is a new name for the Counter-Strike 2 competitive scene, but a familiar one for the North American eSports scene. The club is known for its League of Legends team and is now ready to expand into the Counter-Strike arena.
The choice of the American club fell on the Australian squad Greyhound. Now the American team is represented by the following players.
- FlyQuest roster: INS, aliStair, Liazz, Vexite, dexter.
The lineup of the then Grayhound dominated the home arena in the Pacific region, and not because of this constantly played on the international stage. Thus, in 2023 the Australians played almost everywhere: IEM Katowice 2023, EPL Season 17, BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, IEM Dallas 2023, EPL Season 18 and so on. However, no significant results were achieved, and the best performance with a stretch can be called TOP-16 at IEM Dallas 2023.
In 2024, they played at several qualifiers, again in their region, and again led, but almost everywhere. Won qualifiers at IEM China 2024, OneQode Frontier, but failed at the most important moment - at RMR. There Ledge and Lynn Vision, thus missing PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024.
IEM China 2024 the team started with a rather unexpected victory over the top 8 PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major 2024, the club C9. Next, they fought Vp, but lost with a score of 1-2 and fell to the bottom of the grid.
FlyQuest Mapple
FlyQuest look good on 3 maps at once. They are Overpass, Vertigo and Anubis with 5 matches and 3 wins on each.
The most played map is Ancient. BIG have played 14 matches there and have 57% wins.
The most unlucky map is Inferno with two wins and two losses. The worst map is Mirage (9 matches, 33% wins).
Nemiga form
We continue the match analysis with the analysis of Nemiga's form. In this match the representatives of Eastern Europe will play as outsiders, but with a minimum margin of victory odds of 1.9.
Nemiga are a mid-table side, at best, but no more. They spent the whole year playing in all sorts of qualification tournaments, and before that they played in B and C-tier tournaments, only occasionally shining at championships like IEM Chengdu 2024.
For example, in the 2023 season the team won ESEA Season 45: Main Division - Europe, but then - everything was sad: only TOP-8 at the championships of all kinds of Influencers and nothing serious. The breakthrough came in the 2024 season.
Its opening was the performance at the open qualifiers for PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, where they failed twice, finishing in TOP-32, and later - the qualifiers for IEM China 2024. Nemiga Gaming managed to make it here for the third time after failing at the first open qualifiers with Top-64, and then Top-2 at the second qualifiers, which turned into a win at the main qualifiers.
- Nemiga Gaming line-up: 1eeR, FL4MUS, khaN, riskyb0b, Xant3r.
Success at the qualifiers for IEM Chengdu 2024 did not turn into something stable. They finished top-64 at the qualifiers for IEM Dallas 2024 and top-3 at ESEA Season 48: Advanced Division - Europe.
Nemiga Gaming started their performance at IEM China 2024 with a match against FaZe Clan. They were the outsider of the match and lost it with the score 8-13. It is worth noting that they did not lose defeated. In the first round of the lower grid they met with the TOP-150 team of the world ranking HLTV and defeated Steel Helmet with the score 2-0.
Nemiga Gaming Mapple
Nemiga's favourite map remains Inferno. The Eagles have played it three times in the last 3 months and won all their games there. Things are also good on Nuke: Nemiga won 3 Nuke games out of 4 played.
Among the good options are Vertigo and Ancient, where Nemiga has 2 wins in 3 games.
The most undesirable map is Mirage. Nemiga have played it 6 times, but have won only once.

Predicted result of FlyQuest vs Nemiga at IEM China 2024

Bottom line: total +2.5 / win FlyQuest.
