FlyQuest RED's recent struggles on Haven, with a winrate dipping below 40%, could be a significant disadvantage against Puppy Thieves, who have shown better adaptability and a solid grasp of the map's dynamics. If FlyQuest continues to falter in their strategies, particularly on this map, it will likely cost them dearly.

FlyQuest RED has had a turbulent run leading into this matchup, losing three of their last five matches. Key players like their Jett main have been underperforming, with a K/D ratio below 1.0 in crucial rounds, indicating a lack of impact when it matters most. In contrast, Puppy Thieves have maintained a more stable form, winning four out of their last five games, with standout performances from their Sova and Breach, who have consistently provided valuable utility and fragging power in high-pressure situations.

When it comes to their draft, FlyQuest RED tends to favor a more aggressive playstyle, often leaning heavily on duelists, which can backfire if they don’t secure early map control. Puppy Thieves, on the other hand, have a more balanced hero pool, often utilizing initiators to gather information and create openings. Expect them to exploit FlyQuest's tendency to overcommit to fights, especially on a map like Split, where controlling mid is crucial for success. The synergy between Puppy Thieves' Skye and Omen allows them to execute effective site hits while maintaining map control, which will be key against a disjointed FlyQuest.
