CTBC Flying Oysters Defeat Fnatic in the Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage

The second Bo1 matchup featured CTBC Flying Oysters facing off against Fnatic. Both teams are strong contenders, performing confidently within their respective regions, but this was their first-ever clash on the international stage. Here are the team compositions for this Bo1 match.

Game 1 Picks:

• CTBC Flying Oysters: Sion, Xin Zhao, Ryze, Caitlyn, Neeko
• Fnatic: K`Sante, Vi, Taliyah, Ezreal, Nautilus

The game started off very slowly, with the first real action happening around the 5-minute mark when Sion secured First Blood. Overall, CTBC Flying Oysters made decisions much faster and had far better map control. They gave up only one objective throughout the entire game — an Air Dragon. This level of dominance naturally led them to victory. Fnatic, on the other hand, were barely visible on the map, and their movements looked hesitant and uncertain.

This win sends CTBC Flying Oysters into the second round with a 1-0 record, while Fnatic will head into Day 2 already carrying one loss.
