Jks Joins FlyQuest, Aims to Boost Team's Ranking After Liazz's Departure
  • Jks, a 29-year-old player with a history of success, has joined FlyQuest to bring experience and bolster the team's performance.

  • FlyQuest's current roster includes Joshua 'INS' Potter, Declan 'Vexite' Portelli, Corey 'nettik' Browne, Iulian 'regali' Harjău, and coach Erdenetsogt 'erkaSt' Gantulga, with Liazz benched.

  • This marks jks's return to a home team for the first time since 2020, following his stint with 100 Thieves that disbanded.

  • The team has shown mixed results recently, including a third-place finish at the Asian Champions League but struggled at the Austin Major, leading to an early exit.

  • Liazz, who had been with FlyQuest for over three years and won ESL Challenger League Season 48, departs after a successful tenure.

  • Prior to Liquid, jks achieved notable success with FaZe Clan and G2 Esports, including victories at IEM Katowice 2022 and IEM Cologne 2023.

  • Jks's addition is seen as a crucial move for FlyQuest to solidify their position and improve in upcoming events like IEM Cologne.

  • Jks replaces Jay 'Liazz' Tregillgas, ending Liazz's over three-year tenure since 2022.

  • Jks is returning to a mostly Australian lineup for the first time in over five years, after a brief three-month stint with Liquid.

  • Liazz recently struggled with a team-low Big Event rating of 0.86, while jks averaged 0.98 during his nine months with Liquid.

  • FlyQuest aims to elevate their ranking from top-20 to top-30 with a more experienced roster that includes jks, a four-time Big Event winner.
