Sentinels made short work of FlyQuest. The Week 5 best-of-three in the LCS ended 2–0 on August 22, with neither game reaching 33 minutes and FlyQuest never getting close on the map.

The tower count shows how one-sided it was. SEN took 21 towers to FLY's five across the two games, and they claimed all three Barons in the series. Playing on the blue side both times, Sentinels finished game one with a lead of roughly 14,000 gold. In game two the gap was about 7,000.

Rahel sets the tone

Rahel was the clearest standout. He went 6/1/11 on Ezreal in the opener, dealing 38,223 damage, the most of anyone in the game by a wide margin. He followed that with 5/1/5 on Caitlyn. Two deaths in two games is a strong return for an ADC, and he finished as the richest player on the server both times, at 16,814 and 17,369 gold.

Around him, the pieces fit together. HamBak's Jarvan IV had a hand in 96% of Sentinels' kills in game one, and huhi's 0/2/21 Seraphine line shows a support who was involved almost everywhere. DARKWINGS added a 9/2/8 Ryze to round out a 23–7 kill score.

Game two was tighter in kills, at 12–8. Even so, SEN still controlled the objectives, taking three dragons to one and 11 towers to two. A team that wins by that much while getting fewer kills was arguably more in control than the scoreline alone suggests.

Few answers for FlyQuest

FLY's numbers point to a team that struggled to turn effort into results. Quad led his side in damage in both games, including 24,035 on Azir in the second. Gryffinn's kill participation stayed high on Lee Sin and Pantheon, so the team was finding each other. But Gakgos went without a kill in either game, managing 0/4/1 and 0/2/3, and Massu's 8,358 damage on Jhin was a quiet return from the carry role.

For Sentinels, it is a clean weekend result built on a backline that rarely went down. For FlyQuest, the question is whether they can find pressure on the map when kills alone aren't enough to keep pace.
