FlyQuest has announced aliStair’s benching in a tweet so bland, it’s almost hard to believe. Sure, he might not have been a stellar performer, but at least throw the man some kind words.

It’s honestly surprising how the Australian AWPer managed to hang on to his spot for this long, but then again, YEKINDAR is still playing for Liquid, so maybe it’s not that shocking.

Yeah, they won ESL Challenger Atlanta 2024 with a solid 1.12 rating from the guy, but when tougher opposition came around, his performance dropped off a cliff. aliStair posted a 0.98 rating in the Asia RMR and 1.01 rating in the Major’s Opening Stage – numbers you simply can’t afford from your AWP in the big leagues.

It will be intriguing to see who the team picks to take up the big green and potentially elevate them to new heights in 2025.

Here’s hoping it’s someone who can actually hit some shots.
