SonicFox FlyQuest has officially become a reality today, confirming the signing of one of the most decorated competitors in fighting game history to the organization's roster.

Key Takeaways:

  • Major Acquisition: FlyQuest has signed 8-time Evo champion Dominique "SonicFox" McLean.
  • Roster Expansion: SonicFox joins a "dynasty" lineup that already includes top talent like Punk.
  • Future Focus: The partnership emphasizes content creation and dominance in 2XKO following its recent release.

A Legend Finds a New Home

After a period of competing as an independent agent following their departure from Evil Geniuses in late 2023, SonicFox has found a new banner. The announcement solidifies FlyQuest's commitment to the Fighting Game Community (FGC). SonicFox is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, boasting Evo championships across five different game franchises, including Mortal Kombat, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Injustice, and Skullgirls.

The move aligns with FlyQuest's aggressive expansion in the FGC space since entering the scene in 2023. By securing a player known for their ability to master new engines and "shift metas" almost instantly, the organization is doubling down on the recently released 2XKO, a title where SonicFox is expected to define the competitive landscape.

"With FlyQuest, I'm looking to aim for even higher than the sky. Limits are meant to be broken after all." — SonicFox, FlyQuest Player

Building a Dynasty

This signing marks FlyQuest's first new fighting game player since their initial entry into the genre. The organization's leadership emphasized that SonicFox's addition is key to their vision of building a "FlyQuest FGC dynasty," noting that the team has already seen massive success, including their Street Fighter League (SFL) team securing a strong runner-up finish in the US region.

Kevin "PewPewU" Toy, FlyQuest's Esports Project Manager, highlighted that the signing goes beyond tournament results. He noted that SonicFox is the "living and breathing personification" of the values they seek, citing their energy, charisma, and impact on the community as decisive factors.

"Fittingly, SonicFox is our first new fighting game player since our entrance into the space - I feel proud that they've trusted us to come on board, and look forward to the new heights we can reach together!" — Christopher Smith, FlyQuest President & Chief Gaming Officer

Details & Additional Information

According to the announcement, SonicFox's role will extend beyond just bracket runs. They will represent FlyQuest across collaborative streams, creator activations, and community events, blending world-class performance with content creation.

What’s Next

Fans can expect to see SonicFox representing FlyQuest immediately in upcoming major tournaments. With the 2026 season approaching, the focus will likely shift heavily toward maintaining dominance in Mortal Kombat 1 while solidifying their standing in the 2XKO meta.
