You are seeing FlyQuest take a clear step forward in VALORANT by unveiling a new roster built to compete in Tier 2. The organization has signed the former sleepers lineup, bringing an established core into its competitive structure.
You can expect this squad to represent FlyQuest in North America Challengers 2026: Stage 2. With this move, the organization positions itself directly within the Tier 2 circuit and signals its intent to compete consistently at that level.
FlyQuest unveils new VALORANT team
FlyQuest activates the first phase of Project Grassroots by signing the former sleepers lineup for its VALORANT expansion. Chief Gaming Officer Christopher “PapaSmithy” Smith addressed the move publicly, confirming the roster will compete under the FlyQuest banner in North America’s Challengers circuit.
You will see the following players represent the organization:
| Role | Player |
|---|---|
| Player | sorex |
| Player | ducq |
| Player | leo |
| Player | solada |
| Player | tonza |
| Head Coach | who |
Leadership pointed to structural changes coming to VALORANT in late 2026 as a key factor behind the decision. With the removal of a direct promotion system like Ascension and a more flexible Tier 2 environment, FlyQuest chose to invest in developing emerging talent now rather than waiting for further ecosystem shifts.
This move does not affect FlyQuest RED, which continues to compete in Game Changers. The organization maintains both competitive tracks simultaneously.
FlyQuest also added streamer Grim to support the initiative. You can expect him to host watch parties and create content around matches from both rosters, increasing visibility as the teams progress through their seasons.
North American Challengers 2026 – Stage 2
Stage 2 began on March 23 and runs through May 7. The newly signed lineup competes under the FlyQuest name following the acquisition.
So far, the team has:
- Lost to NRG
- Defeated SaD Esports
You can next watch FlyQuest face Division One as the squad continues its campaign in the 16-team competition.
