The new lineup of JD, Ace, Echo, and Raven was a formidable one. The team's chemistry was stronger than ever, and their gameplay improved significantly. SSQ started to dominate online tournaments, and their fan base grew exponentially.

The team consisted of four members: Jake "JD" Davenport, a 22-year-old from California; Alex "Ace" Chen, a 25-year-old from New York; Michael "Mike-DB" DeBenedetto, a 28-year-old from Florida; and Ryan "Raven" Thompson, a 24-year-old from Texas. All four members had a background in competitive gaming, having played in various tournaments and teams before.

As they started to compete in online tournaments, SSQ began to make a name for themselves. They won a few small tournaments, and their confidence grew. The team's communication and coordination improved, and they started to develop their own unique playstyle.
