FlyQuest Boost VRS With ANZC Locals Win; Chinggis Warriors Beat 5star

FlyQuest and Chinggis Warriors made important gains in the Asia Valve Regional Standings race after winning regional LAN events on October 11, 2026.

FlyQuest completed an undefeated run through ANZC Locals Brisbane 2026 Season 2 without dropping a map, earning 149 VRS points according to HLTV’s post-event report. In Mongolia, Chinggis Warriors recovered from an earlier loss to 5star to defeat their domestic rivals 2-1 in the MESA Pro Series Fall 2026 grand final, adding 171 points compared with 5star’s 94.

The results carried added significance because they arrived less than a month before the November 2 cutoff referenced by HLTV for PGL Major Singapore qualification, with several Asian teams separated by a narrow VRS margin.

What Happened?

Two regional LANs reshaped the immediate picture around the Asian VRS qualification race.

In Brisbane, FlyQuest entered ANZC Locals Season 2 and controlled the event from beginning to end. The Australian side defeated madlikewizards and Abyssal during the group stage before progressing past KZG and Ground Zero.

That set up another meeting with Abyssal in the grand final.

FlyQuest won the rematch 2-0, completing the tournament without surrendering a single map.

According to HLTV, the title added 149 VRS points to FlyQuest’s total and provisionally moved the team into fifth place in the relevant Asian race at the time of the report, ahead of Lynn Vision and 5star.

The situation in Mongolia was considerably less straightforward.

5star initially defeated Chinggis Warriors 2-1 in the MESA Pro Series Fall upper-bracket semi-final on October 8. Chinggis Warriors then survived the lower bracket and earned another opportunity against 5star in the grand final three days later.

This time, the result was reversed.

Chinggis Warriors defeated 5star 2-1 to win the tournament and collect the $1,650 first-place prize.

More importantly for the wider qualification picture, HLTV reported a 171-point VRS gain for Chinggis Warriors compared with 94 points for 5star. That swing provisionally lifted Chinggis Warriors into fourth place and left 5star sixth, immediately below the five-team invite threshold referenced in the report.

FlyQuest Complete a Flawless ANZC Locals Run

FlyQuest’s tournament was notable not simply because they won, but because no opponent took a map from them.

Their route through the event was:

Stage	Opponent	Result
Group stage	madlikewizards	13-8
Group stage	Abyssal	2-0
Playoffs	KZG	13-7
Playoffs	Ground Zero	2-0
Grand final	Abyssal	2-0

The result gave FlyQuest the maximum competitive outcome available from the event: the title, first-place prize money and an important addition to their VRS total.

The tournament also reinforced FlyQuest’s position as a leading Oceanic contender during a period in which regional LAN results carried direct implications for the wider Asian qualification race.

Chinggis Warriors Get Revenge Against 5star

The MESA Pro Series Fall storyline developed differently.

5star had the advantage in the first direct meeting, beating Chinggis Warriors 2-1 on October 8.

The teams played the same three-map set — Ancient, Inferno and Nuke — in both series.

In the first encounter, Chinggis Warriors won Ancient 13-5 before 5star recovered with a 13-8 victory on Inferno and a 13-10 win on Nuke.

The grand final reversed that pattern.

Chinggis Warriors edged Ancient 16-13 after overtime. 5star answered by taking Inferno 13-7, forcing Nuke to decide the championship.

Chinggis Warriors then dominated the decider 13-4.

Date	Stage	Ancient	Inferno	Nuke	Series
Oct. 8	Upper-bracket semi-final	CW 13-5	5star 13-8	5star 13-10	5star 2-1
Oct. 11	Grand final	CW 16-13	5star 13-7	CW 13-4	CW 2-1

The comparison makes the deciding map particularly notable. After losing Nuke by three rounds in the first series, Chinggis Warriors won it by nine rounds when the championship was on the line.

ROUX was also highlighted by HLTV as the tournament’s highest-rated player with a 1.29 rating.

FlyQuest and 5star in the VRS Race

The timing of these LANs made the results more consequential than their prize pools alone suggest.

Valve’s official October 5 Asia Regional Standings had 5star fifth on 1,110 points, FlyQuest sixth on 1,093 and Chinggis Warriors seventh on 1,084. Only 26 points separated those three teams before the subsequent regional LAN results were incorporated.

That snapshot demonstrates how compressed this part of the table already was before ANZC Locals and MESA Pro Series Fall.

HLTV’s post-event calculation reported the following gains:

Team	Reported VRS gain	Provisional position after events
Chinggis Warriors	+171	4th
FlyQuest	+149	5th
5star	+94	6th

These should be understood as the post-event picture reported on October 11 rather than permanent rankings. VRS positions can change as additional ranked events and results enter the system.

Why These Results Matter

FlyQuest gained points without a tournament stumble

FlyQuest did what a favorite needs to do at a regional event: win the tournament and avoid an upset that could damage their qualification campaign.

Their flawless map record also leaves little ambiguity about the sporting result. They were the strongest team at ANZC Locals Season 2.

Chinggis Warriors won a direct VRS battle

The MESA final had an additional dimension because both finalists were competing in the same regional ranking race.

Chinggis Warriors did not merely collect points; they earned more from the tournament than a nearby VRS rival.

That relative gain is important in a qualification system where the position of neighboring teams matters as much as a team’s isolated points total.

5star still gained points

Finishing second was a setback relative to winning the tournament, but it was not a zero-value result.

HLTV reported that 5star added 94 VRS points from MESA Pro Series Fall.

The problem was comparative: Chinggis Warriors gained substantially more, while FlyQuest was simultaneously strengthening its own position in Australia.

Impact Analysis

The clearest consequence is increased pressure around the Asian VRS qualification boundary.

Before these events, Valve’s October 5 standings showed 5star, FlyQuest and Chinggis Warriors occupying fifth through seventh with only 26 points between first and last in that trio.

The October 11 LAN results reordered that immediate battle.

Chinggis Warriors received the largest reported boost, FlyQuest converted an undefeated domestic LAN into another significant points addition, and 5star found themselves provisionally on the wrong side of the five-team line despite reaching the MESA final.

There is another important distinction: none of these outcomes settled qualification.

The teams still had competitive opportunities before the referenced November 2 cutoff, meaning the regional picture remained vulnerable to further movement.

Tactical Takeaway From 5star vs Chinggis Warriors

Without over-interpreting one best-of-three, the two MESA meetings show how dramatically a repeated matchup can change.

Both series used Ancient, Inferno and Nuke.

Ancient went to Chinggis Warriors twice, while Inferno went to 5star twice. Nuke therefore functioned as the true swing map of the matchup.

5star won it 13-10 on October 8.

Chinggis Warriors won it 13-4 three days later with the championship at stake.

That turnaround is the most significant map-level change between the two series. Any deeper explanation about tactical adaptations would require team communications or detailed round analysis and should not be presented as confirmed fact.

What Changes Now?

For FlyQuest, ANZC Locals became another building block in their attempt to secure a Major invitation. The Australian squad had DFRAG Logitech G Pro Series and DFRAG Invitational on its schedule before the November 2 cutoff referenced in the original report.

For Chinggis Warriors, the MESA title transformed an earlier loss to 5star into a favorable overall tournament outcome and a larger reported VRS gain.

For 5star, the second-place finish increased the importance of their remaining opportunities.

Their next listed LAN is GLuck Moscow Cyber Games 2026 in Moscow from October 31 to November 1. The four-team event features 5star, The Huns, HOTU and 1win and carries a $181,214 prize pool.

What to Watch Next

FlyQuest’s schedule is especially important because they have multiple regional opportunities clustered before the cutoff.

The team moved directly from ANZC Locals toward DFRAG Logitech G Pro Series, scheduled for October 15-18 in Brisbane, followed by the DFRAG Invitational from October 26 to November 1.

5star, meanwhile, are scheduled to play at GLuck Moscow Cyber Games on October 31-November 1.

The main story to monitor is therefore not simply whether these teams win their next tournaments. It is how their results affect their positions relative to each other and the other Asian teams around the Major invitation line.

Because VRS is dynamic, the ranking should be rechecked after each eligible event rather than treating the October 11 snapshot as final.
