FlyQuest secured the ESL Challenger Atlanta 2024 title after a thrilling 2-1 victory over BIG in the grand final on Sunday, marking a significant achievement for the team after a challenging few months. This win also ended a long international trophy drought for Australian Counter-Strike, stretching back to the SL i-League Invitational Shanghai in 2017.
"It's pretty insane," said Christopher "dexter" Nong, expressing his joy over the accomplishment. Alistair "aliStair" Johnston was the standout performer in the tense final, silencing critics with a dominant performance, especially on Dust2, where he achieved a 1.57 rating. Reflecting on his recent struggles, aliStair praised his teammates for their support. "The boys are always pushing me forward, not blaming me for anything. I'm glad I could deliver a good performance today.” FlyQuest will now look to carry this momentum into the Asia RMR, set for November 11-13 in Shanghai, as they aim to build on their unbeaten tournament run.
