FlyQuest RED 2-1 wwaves 
FlyQuest RED almost lost their invincibility in the league this week as wwaves claimed Dust2, the first map of the series, and had good chances in the other maps as well.
But, Vivienne "BiBiAhn" Quach led the charges for FlyQuest RED on Mirage, and Mounira "GooseBreeder" Dobie played an instrumental role on Overpass to keep FlyQuest RED's winning streak alive.

Ghost 2-0 Little Bocks
