FlyQuest (FLY) is a professional esports team founded in 2017. They are owned by Wes Edens, one of the co-owners of the Milwaukee Bucks and Fortress Investment Group. FlyQuest was created after the qualification of Cloud9 Challenger to the League of Legends Championship Series in Spring 2017. As Cloud9's main team was already participating in the LCS, Cloud9 Challenger weren't allow to compete under Cloud9's brand. FlyQuest was created, bought the team and kept most of the roster. The organization is now established as one of the dark horses of the LCS, with a Worlds Championship participation in 2020. They previously had a Rocket League team.
On December 8th, 2021, FlyQuest signed their first Smash player, the Melee Marth main KoDoRiN, just a day before his participation to Smash Summit 12[1]. Half a year later on June 10th, 2022, they also signed Jmook, which followed his phenomenal performance at both GENESIS 8 and Smash Summit 13.[2]. On September 15, 2023, FlyQuest signed PewPewU as an Esports Project Manager.[3] On January 23rd, 2024, FlyQuest announced that KoDoRiN would join the organization as their Tournament Operations Lead, becoming a free agent, while still sponsoring him for GENESIS X.[4]
