The dust has finally settled on the LTA North finals, with FlyQuest securing their second championship of the year. Since implementing strategic changes in 2023, the organization has soared to new heights in North America, winning multiple championships and succeeding on the international stage.

But is FlyQuest the greatest all-time North American team in League of Legends (LoL)? In this guide, we’ll break down the team’s journey, achievements, and how they compare to the region’s most historic rosters.

Who Is FlyQuest in LoL?

FlyQuest’s mission has always been to “showcase greatness”—that applies both in and out of the game. For example, the team pioneered many positive initiatives, including the popular Treequest, which saw a tree planted for in-game achievements (e.g., for each enemy takedown or Ocean Drake kill).

While the team had some great moments before 2022, they never really felt like a major player in LoL esports. But that all changed in 2023 when FlyQuest made a big splash after flexing its new financial power by forming the next North American superteam.

In particular, they brought in LCS legend Jeong “Impact” Eon-young and Spring Split standout Philippe “Vulcan” Laflamme. FlyQuest also secured two of Korea’s hottest commodities at the time: ADC Lee “Prince” Chae-hwan and a world champion head coach fresh off DRX’s miracle 2022 title run.

FlyQuest Finds A Second Wind

Following the collapse of their 2023 roster, FlyQuest adopted a new strategy—one that would catapult them to success. Heading into 2024, only two players were locked in: Alan “Busio” Cwalina, coming off a rough rookie year with 100 Thieves, and prodigy Fahad “Massu” Abdulmalek.

They were soon joined by Gabriël “Bwipo” Rau, Kacper “Inspired” Słoma, and LCS legend Nicolaj “Jensen” Jensen. Suddenly, FlyQuest’s lineup had a mix of youth and proven talent. Despite reaching the LCS Finals in Spring 2024, FlyQuest once again made a bold change.

The Academy mid player Song “Quad” Su-hyeong earned the call-up, a move that would later pay off for FlyQuest. Since then, the team has boasted a unique bond, with Bwipo often stating how the roster not only enjoys playing together but is genuinely invested in each other’s success.

What Are FlyQuest’s Biggest Achievements?

FlyQuest represented North America well on the global stage, establishing itself as a competitive force from the get-go. By regional standards, they have surpassed expectations, pushing giants like Gen.G and Bilibili Gaming to their limits across multiple key events, including Worlds 2024 and MSI 2025.

What’s more impressive, though, is how they’ve done so in their own style instead of mirroring the East—a hallmark of the West’s top teams. While rivals like Team Liquid and Cloud9 have faded, they’ve remained at the top, reaching two of the three domestic finals this year and winning them both.

As of September 16, 2025, FlyQuest has won three major North American titles: LCS Summer 2024 and LTA North Splits 2 and 3. However, with the LTA Championship 2025 still to play out, they could add another trophy to their cabinet.

How Does FlyQuest Compare To LoL Competitors?

FlyQuest has been a dominant force domestically, but the squad is also widely respected internationally. But let’s look at how they actually stack up against some of the best LoL teams in the world.

Gen.G

Gen.G is the superteam of all superteams. With stars in every role (apart from support), there really isn’t a lane the team can’t play through. Inspired is arguably the best LoL player in the West right now, but opposite him stands one of the best junglers in the world, Kim “Canyon” Geon-bu.

The big test for FlyQuest lies in getting Quad into a favorable position, especially with the mid lane pool stacked so heavily at the international level. Even so, FlyQuest managed to rattle this Gen.G roster when they met last year, pushing the series all the way to five games.

T1

When it comes to international play, we have yet to witness FlyQuest and T1 square off. But it’s only a matter of time before we do. Although T1 has exposed some of its vulnerabilities, it remains a magical team on the Worlds stage, always finding a way to deliver when it matters most.

The key question will be whether Inspired can keep pace with the best junglers in the world, something he has been able to do in the past.

LPL

FlyQuest has held its ground against the LPL, whose teams often prefer to scrap. That style has played well in the North American team’s hands, as they’ve learned to punish it domestically. Even after losing a fight in bot or top lane, their strength has been cross-mapping and finding advantages elsewhere.

At MSI 2025, FlyQuest delivered a respectable showing against Anyone’s Legend and Bilibili Gaming, keeping the series competitive on both occasions. Performances like these are exactly what North American fans should expect from their number one seed.
