FlyQuest have completed their Australian roster rebuild with the return of Alistair "aliStair" Johnston (28), who takes over in-game leadership from Joshua "INS" Potter. The move frees INS to focus on fragging and completes the FlyQuest starting five ahead of IEM Beijing 2026 Asia Closed Qualifier.
FlyQuest roster
- Justin "jks" Savage
- Alistair "aliStair" Johnston (new IGL)
- Joshua "INS" Potter
- Declan "Vexite" Portelli
- Corey "nettik" Browne
- Coach: Aaron "AZR" Ward
aliStair had left THUNDER dOWNUNDER in 2025; no player was benched to make room, as the previous AWPer João "story" Vieira had already transferred to SAW earlier in the year.
Debut result
The new-look FlyQuest debuted at the IEM Beijing 2026 Asia Closed Qualifier on September 2 with a 2-0 sweep over NEXVOID — a promising sign that the Australian roster still has firepower behind the veteran core of jks + aliStair.
What's next
FlyQuest continue the IEM Beijing qualifier — the winner earns direct qualification for the IEM Beijing 2026 main event in October.
