SemperFi sign aliStair and Kingfisher

14-3-2025 11:03

vision was let go to make room for the former FlyQuest player.

aliStair will man the big green in SemperFi

SemperFi has announced the signing of former FlyQuest AWPer Alistair "⁠aliStair⁠" Johnston, who joins the team following the addition of head coach David "⁠Kingfisher⁠" Kingsford.

The incoming duo had already worked together back in 2021-2022 when the skipper was standing behind Renegades and Grayhound, and the two reached three Major Challengers Stages at PGL Stockholm, PGL Antwerp, and IEM Rio together.

Latvian import Kristers "⁠keen⁠" Dārznieks, who had been manning the big green in SemperFi, will now be a rifling in-game leader with the addition of the 26-year-old sniper to the team.

keen will work with Kingfisher in the tactical department as the skipper makes his return to Counter-Strike after taking an extended break from coaching after sting in VERTEX in 2023.

Ethan "⁠vision⁠" Holst has become the first of the team's original members to depart the roster since it came together in July 2024 to make room in the starting five for the newcomer.

SemperFi are now:

Latvia Kristers "⁠keen⁠" Dārznieks
Australia Matthew "⁠Valiance⁠" Hartrick
Latvia Mārtiņš "⁠shadiy⁠" Gūtmanis
Australia James "⁠SaVage⁠" Savage
Australia Alistair "⁠aliStair⁠" Johnston

Australia David "⁠Kingfisher⁠" Kingsford (coach)

his favorite player, sure. But empirically, the greatest of all time, is not subject to fleeting preferences and personal tastes

Goat lost a 20k prem game against us. Didn't AWP once because he can't hit the easy ones, so he baited the 15k teammate and dropped 30 kills on the AK. Legend

yes but fq has nothing to play and it seems like they will decay below RA, also the astana qual is before the cutoff and fq denied the invitation so if tyloo or ra do decently theres a very big chance they will give china the 2nd spot

The situation should never be so bad that the only option is aliStair. If there's a young player out there wondering if I'm good enough to be a pro player just keep training hard. There is hope for everyone if aliStair is a pro player :D
