FlyQuest add nettik as INS takes over captaincy

15-3-2025 09:28

The 21-year-old talent didn't have to wait long for an opportunity to join Oceania's best team following his short-lived stint with TALON.

Former TALON player Corey "⁠nettik⁠" Browne has completed FlyQuest's roster, the organization announced on Saturday.

The 21-year-old replaces Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong on the roster, while Joshua "⁠INS⁠" Potter takes over captaincy following the former in-game leader's removal.

FlyQuest bench dexter

"I'm excited to step up as in-game leader," INS said about the move in a statement. "I've always had the capabilities, and I can't wait to build a system with erkaSt and bring out the best in everyone."

"Adding nettik brings in some serious firepower. He's one of the best riflers in Oceania."

nettik has long been considered one of the biggest talents in Oceania. The New Zealander was putting on impressive performances on the regional scene with Rooster ever since he was 16 years old and continued to do so in his short-lived stint with TALON.

That officially ended earlier this March, after the Hongkongese organization dropped the roster just seven months into the project following "careful consideration of the organization's ability to put the players in the best position to participate in all available competitions needed in particular for VRS."

TALON drop CS roster

Before he completes the move to FlyQuest, nettik will play out one last event with ex-TALON, the DFRAG Invitational, taking place in Brisbane, Australia from March 20-23.

His first test with FlyQuest will be on the team's home turf, at IEM Melbourne, which kicks off on April 21.

FlyQuest's new roster is:

Joshua "⁠INS⁠" Potter
Jay "⁠Liazz⁠" Tregillgas
Declan "⁠Vexite⁠" Portelli
Iulian "⁠regali⁠" Harjău
Corey "⁠nettik⁠" Browne

Erdenetsogt "⁠erkaSt⁠" Gantulga (coach)

Good, but Ins as Igl looks weird

He was igl before dexter joined, he should be fine

Hope so, I don't want them to bomb out from every event with 0/1:3

well, it really doesnt matter tho. they will be bomb out from every event.

2025-03-15 16:23

that was already the case, should be much better now since they have lacked firepower outside of regali

2025-03-16 07:32

hell no, i remember his genius inferno in 2021 as an igl

2025-03-15 14:58

INS as IGL brought the team great successes in the past, to be honest. The only issue is that INS as IGL hinders just how good his individual level is.

2025-03-16 02:15

that should be okay now that nettik is here, he's OCE's best rifler (excluding INS in peak form)

2025-03-17 04:41

Actually, I remember significantly more INS impact plays when he was IGL...

2025-03-18 01:05

He was still nuts as an IGL but I feel like INS was truly unleashed when he wasn't IGL. :D

2025-03-18 01:07

-erkast next pls

nettik and ins are nuts. This will be interesting (Y)

2025-03-15 10:14

INS fell off hard recently i hope he will be able to climb back to his previous performance but since he will igl i doubt that i feel like we will see -INS in the future aswell

2025-03-15 10:23

At least now he has the excuse of igling for his mid performances

2025-03-15 22:19

but his mid performances will likely turn into flat out bad ones due to igling

2025-03-17 13:42

not all AUS team anymore?

2025-03-16 02:29

WWWWW

Well, this is not what i expected, because INS was carrying them in past, but IF he will be able to IGL, it makes sense. On paper this is clear upgrade, but is it really? This kid definitely has my attention...

flyquest will win IEM Melbourne with nettik dropping 1.71 rating

2025-03-15 09:32

expected from a G2 fan

2025-03-15 09:49

or G2 win both are highly unlikely though

2025-03-15 10:09

g2 arent even going lmao

2025-03-15 13:49

Nettick will drop solid 0.85 rating.

Why did they put their star rifler as IGL?

2025-03-15 09:58

INS used to be an IGL, individually he's been in a slump for a while now and he's not getting any younger. If nettik can hang with EU players it could be a good move.

2025-03-15 10:21

star 0.8 kd rifler, yeah

2025-03-15 13:00

1.17 in 2023 1.23 in 2024

2025-03-15 13:03

Liazz needs to go tbf

2025-03-15 10:04

Fax honestly could’ve kept sexter & replaced liazz and maybe new coach if needed new strategies

2025-03-15 11:18

Literally the move we all wanted. Thank God.

2025-03-15 11:04

Flyquest with 2 banger moves in 2025. The only way this gets better is if they can get JKS once he leaves liquid.

2025-03-15 11:28

NZ talent here to carry AUCS

2025-03-15 11:47

nice move, hopefully ins doesnt take too much of a hit individually

2025-03-15 12:27

2025-03-15 12:30

Aweful move another rifler who thinks he can igl.

2025-03-15 12:31

Ins was an IGL before

2025-03-15 12:49

God damnit how long did we have to wait for them to give the only AU talent a shot

2025-03-15 12:36

INS igl </3

2025-03-15 12:40

Interesting to see who will take dexters roles, from what i remember nettik is fairly passive which is a big difference from the +w dexter style.

2025-03-15 12:51

Vexite maybe

2025-03-15 12:54

What even are the roles on this team? INS is star role player and Liazz is anchor? Vexite was support rifle? Who is lurker?

2025-03-15 14:42

Nettik i'm guessing, can't imagine INS being that aggressive so I can see vexite taking that role while liazz goes full support kinda like a mezzi or zont1x.

2025-03-15 14:47

I just checked ner0 database. INS is star Vexite is support Liazz is main anchor / lurker (ropz style) Dexter was big site anchor / entry I wonder if INS will give up some star roles to Vexite. Or is your point that there will be no aggressive entry if that happens? Feels like a waste to put Vexite on aggro entry unless he can put up flamez or nertz like numbers.

2025-03-15 15:02

My guess it would be Nettik = lurk (new budget ropz) Vexite is entry INS remains star but more aggro Liazz kinda needs to be support now Regali should be built around the most Ig it could be a waste to have vexite be a more aggressive entry but with how cs is rn entry players are very important and valuable. imo its a much bigger waste to use him the way they are right now.

2025-03-15 15:14

if he doesnt chur then he is not NZ

2025-03-15 12:55

chair bowl

2025-03-15 13:41

hell yeah cant wait for flyquest to do the exact same things they always do!

2025-03-15 12:57

FraudQuest is on the way to irrelevance again

2025-03-15 13:05

ready to fuck

2025-03-15 13:39

now -liazz +jks, -vexite +AZR and this is peek

2025-03-15 13:51

Good move

2025-03-15 13:57

- Erdenetsogt "⁠erkaSt⁠" Gantulga + Lee ("Lee Mate") Mate and it's gg

2025-03-15 14:41

lol!

2025-03-19 15:03

W kitten

2025-03-15 14:55

what a move man but holy fuck INS' stats fell off recently

2025-03-15 15:44

NZ CS lives

2025-03-15 16:22

wth happened to dexter, he wasn't amazing in MOUZ IGL-wise but he was decent at least

2025-03-15 17:06

w move flyquest

2025-03-15 17:35

NOT SEXTER

2025-03-15 18:10

nettik is a guy that can potentially bring back Australian CS to being a more competitive team, I really do think so, watched some games from this guy and it's real talent. I think it's an interesting move from FlyQuest, I don't like the benching of dexter since he was a really good IGL I feel like, and he was also pretty consistent as a fragger, it's not like his fragging was that bad, but it's good for INS to switch to IGLing, he has had some terrible games recently, really terrible, and I do think he might be fine as an IGL, so overall looking forward to seeing more from FlyQuest, although I still think it will take many more changes for this team to reach something big, but it's a step in the right direction. GL the boys!

2025-03-15 18:40

about INS maybe FQ swapped INS and dexters roles because they already decided to kick dexter month ago? that would've made sense

2025-03-16 23:42

Yeah I guess it's very likely that it is how it all went down.

2025-03-19 15:00

NZCS?

2025-03-15 18:52

I hope INS can unlock vexite potential. He hasn't really seem to have gotten better since reaching this level but at the same time its not like he gets consistent chances to play in tournaments. I think having another really good player should help relieve some stress.
