Overall, Flynt and Neon really should have won the doubles round in the tournament. The only reason they lost is because Yang got lucky. That's literally it. A lot of people in the fandom don't really take notice of this.

I remember in Volume 3, some fans were questioning Flynt and Neon's performance in comparison to Weiss talking about how Atlas Academy students tend to have "carefully rehearsed strategies". Well, they did have have a plan for how to deal with Weiss and Yang.

Note that Weiss and Yang were fighting the wrong people in this match, and add the fact that Flynt and Neon specifically made it this way. During the countdown, Flynt and Neon looked at each other as if to say "Ready? You know what to do." As soon as the match started, Neon separated Yang from Weiss and made Yang focus on her. Neon was the worst opponent for Yang to try to fight because she was too fast for her. Weiss likely would have had an easier time against her. If Weiss and Yang had actually been smart about the situation, they would have made an effort to switch opponents. That, and Weiss would have thrown Neon into the desert biome to clog up her skates with sand.

In the end, Weiss was taken out of the match, and Yang had two opponents team up against her. When that happened, Yang fell back on her "punch and shoot wildly until something happens" tactic... if you can call it a tactic. She won because one of her explosive shots damaged the floor in a way that made a ramp leading toward the geyser biome, and another shot just happened to knock Flynt off balance. Flynt was using his trumpet to help direct Neon, but when he lost balance, he turned and accidentally sent Neon up aforementioned ramp into the geyser biome, where she tripped. This led to Yang's victory.

Yang. got. lucky.
