Though they were separated by only one game in the standings, Saturday's LCS Spring playoff match between FlyQuest and Sentinels wasn't much of a match at all.
Playing in the first lower-bracket quarterfinal in Los Angeles, FlyQuest made quick work of Sentinels, winning 3-0 behind 35-, 31- and 38-minute victories, all on blue.
Eight teams competed in the best-of-three matches in the round-robin regular season with the top six advancing to the playoffs of the League of Legends event. The double-elimination playoffs are all best-of-five matches in a double-elimination format.
The top two teams will qualify for this summer's Mid-Season Invitational in Daejeon, South Korea, while the winner also gets a trip to the Esports World Cup in Paris in July.
Fahad 'Massu' Abdulmalek of Iraq and Canada was the player of the match for all three wins, compiling a 26-2-17 kill-death-assist ratio to lead all players, while Isaac 'DARKWINGS' Chou led Sentinels with a 7-7-10 K-D-A ratio.
In the regular season, Sentinels topped FlyQuest 2-1 in Week 3, with the winning map decided in 39 minutes. FlyQuest finished the regular season in fourth place, one spot ahead of Sentinels.
The other lower-bracket quarterfinal will be contested Sunday, with third-place regular season finisher Team Liquid taking on Shopify Rebellion, the sixth and final team to make the playoffs.
The winner of that match will face FlyQuest in the lower-bracket semifinal on June 7. A day before, Cloud9 and LYON will face off in the upper-bracket final.
