Marvel Rivals Fight Night #9 crowned FlyQuest and Virtus.pro champions in North America and Europe, showcasing rising momentum in NA and continued dominance from the EU’s top team.
The ninth installment of Marvel Rivals Fight Night has concluded with a resounding statement from two powerhouse teams. FlyQuest and Virtus.pro emerged as the champions of their respective regions, North America and Europe, setting the stage for an electrifying showdown at the upcoming tenth edition.
FlyQuest Overthrows Sentinels in North America
In what many saw as an upset, FlyQuest decisively defeated the reigning NA champions Sentinels in a clean 3-0 sweep. Despite entering the tournament after a recent roster adjustment and facing stiff competition, FlyQuest showed exceptional coordination and adaptability. Their run began with a solid victory over Luminosity in the challengers match, setting up a tense final against Sentinels.
The finals began with FlyQuest clinching Game 1 on Krakoa (Domination) with a 2-1 win, followed by a nail-biting 1-0 victory on Midtown (Convoy) in Game 2. The series culminated in a high-stakes Game 3 on Central Park (Convergence), where FlyQuest edged out Sentinels 5-4, completing the sweep.
Commentator Chris ‘Puckett’ Puckett, speaking during the NA livestream, highlighted FlyQuest’s strategic growth:
“They looked a little shaky in their previous meta… but it’s all about making the best of what the game serves up. This win is a signpost for where we are in NA Marvel Rivals.”
Virtus.pro Reigns Supreme Yet Again in Europe
Across the Atlantic, Virtus.pro reaffirmed their dominance in the European scene, brushing aside challengers Brr Brr Patapim and Supremacy without breaking a sweat. Having already claimed victory at Fight Night #8, Virtus.pro entered the tournament as favorites, and they did not disappoint.
Brr Brr Patapim earned their place in the final by defeating Supremacy 3-0, but their hopes for revenge were dashed. Virtus.pro controlled the finals from start to finish, with back-to-back 2-0 wins on Krakoa (Domination) and Hell’s Heaven (Domination), followed by a tighter 3-2 match on Yggdrasill Path (Convoy) to seal the 3-0 series victory.
EU commentator Andrew ‘ZP’ Rush remarked on VP’s consistency compared to NA’s volatility:
“You can make a case with some NA teams… but VP has been consistent and untouched, whereas NA has had roster mania.”
A Tale of Two Regions
The regional dynamics in Marvel Rivals esports are becoming increasingly distinct. While North America has seen a revolving door of dominant teams: 100 Thieves, Sentinels, and now FlyQuest, the European scene remains ruled by Virtus.pro, who continue to dominate with near-perfect consistency.
With Fight Night #10 on the horizon, all eyes are on whether FlyQuest can maintain their new momentum and if any EU team can finally dethrone the seemingly unstoppable Virtus.pro.
