FlyQuest bench aliStair as Aussie squad plans 2025 readjustment

FlyQuest bench aliStair as Aussie squad plans 2025 readjustment

As a dedicated fan who has followed aliStair’s journey through the Australian CS:GO scene, I must say his resilience and determination are truly admirable. The 26-year-old sniper, with his lionhearted spirit, has been a beacon of hope for many Aussie fans like me.

Aussie sniper aliStair will ride the pine for FlyQuest for the foreseeable future.

As a gamer, I found myself on the bench after the CS2 Shanghai Major, shaking up the long-standing Australian core at FlyQuest. Despite this setback, the 26-year-old in me, an AWPer at heart, remains open to new teams and fully committed to the world of esports.

Together with Joshua “INS” Potter and Jay “Liazz” Tregillgas, he was part of one of the oldest established cores in Australian CS history. Now, FlyQuest is looking for a new sniper, and it’s anticipated that they will consider players from beyond Oceania.

aliStair’s departure comes following rollercoaster 2024 season

AliStair’s departure from the starting roster, as announced by the organization on December 19th, was met with a quick response from the Aussie AWPer via Twitter. He expressed that today’s decision was not his final chapter in CS:2, stating, “I genuinely feel that exiting this year has given me the best mindset I’ve ever had and a clearer perspective on how I should approach competition.

Manager Chris “GoMeZ” Orfanellis highly commended AliStair, stating, “Over more than a decade in my professional career, I believe Ali will be remembered as one of the finest teammates I’ve had the opportunity to lead. He possesses the courage and spirit of a lion.

This marks the initial shift for FlyQuest since the U.S. organization acquired the previous Grayhound team back in March, and it follows a tumultuous 2024 season. At certain points, FlyQuest seemed to perform significantly below their counterparts on the global stage, resulting in swift eliminations at various top-tier tournaments.

AliStair’s performance was dubious at most during the initial two-thirds of FlyQuest’s CS2 season. However, he excelled as the top AWPer in our local events. Unfortunately, his impact wasn’t significant on larger stages, as his average rating fell below 0.9 at every international event that the team participated in.

As the season neared its end, there was noticeable progress in AliStair’s gaming skills. He played a significant role in the team’s victory at ESL Challenger Atlanta, securing their first trophy Down Under since Renegades in 2017. His impressive performance continued at the Shanghai Major, where FlyQuest fell just short of reaching the Elimination Stage, but managed to secure wins against Complexity and BIG.

As reported by HLTV, FlyQuest are considering players from beyond their own region for their next recruitment. They aren’t limiting their search to just the OCE (Oceanic) region. Replacing aliStair with another player from home would be quite challenging. He is highly respected as the top sniper in Australia and his aggressive play, both on the game server and off it, will surely be missed.
