Wednesday, December 6th, 2017

New York, NY – FlyQuest Sports, an esports organization owned by Fortress Investment Group co-founder and Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wes Edens, has announced the first three members of their academy roster. Top Laner Alvin “Ngo” Ngo, ADC Sang “Erry” Park, and Support Juan “Jayj” Guibert, all former members of the University of Toronto will make their LCS debut in January of this coming year.

“We are fortunate to announce the acquisition of this formidable trio to FlyQuest’s academy roster” said FlyQuest GM, Nick Phan. “This group not only has amazing chemistry but comes from a long line of success at the University of Toronto. Each of them is not only skilled, but also carries with them an incredible tenacity and diligence for growth and success. With our help, and with their hunger, we’re excited to see just how far they can go as future LCS players. They have the potential to each be a force to be reckoned with.”

At the University of Toronto, Ngo, Erry, and Jayj lead the team to victory at the Taipei Universiade, and to the finals of the 2017 Tencent Global Collegiate Cup and ULoL NA Finals.

Ngo, Erry, and Jayj will join the NA LCS team in Los Angeles where they will begin practice and scrims in the coming weeks, gearing up for the beginning of the 2018 split. FlyQuest plans to announce who will be filling the final two Academy roster slots, Mid-Laner and Jungler, later this week.
