FlyQuest was originally founded after the acquisition of the League of Legends roster of Cloud9 Challenger, which was the sister team of the Cloud9 organization. Cloud9 Challenger qualified for the North American League Championship Series in August 2016, alongside the main Cloud9 roster. LCS rules forbid an organization from owning multiple teams in the same league, so the team was sold to Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wesley Edens and Fortress Investment Group and rebranded to FlyQuest, with the team roster unchanged.
Tricia Sugita was appointed as CEO in 2020, while Ryan Edens would move to a president position. She left the team on 13 June 2022, later becoming the Chief Marketing Officer for Cloud9. Micheal Choi was appointed as the new CEO. In September 2022, the Viola family, owners of the Florida Panthers, acquired Flyquest. In December 2022, Brian Anderson was appointed as the new CEO.
