One of the biggest teams in the MLBB scene, RRQ Hoshi, is in serious danger of not making the playoffs. ‘The King of Kings’ has only managed five wins and nine losses so far. Then, is there any chance of making the playoffs?

New players arrival

RRQ started the campaign with several player changes. Zunesh and Rezzz were added as new players to replace Sutsujin and Dyrennn spot. But, the arrival of both is quite contradictory, considering the team’s impressive run last season.

In the first match, RRQ defeated AE with a score of 2-1. However, in the next match, the team had to admit Geek Fam’s strength with a score of 2-0. The team’s performance remained inconsistent until week 6, where they lost twice to ONIC and BTR. This was their first losing streak, which resulted in severe criticism from their fans.

‘”Halfway through the season, Zunesh was replaced again by Sutsujin. Unfortunately, his presence was not enough to lift RRQ to a safe position.”

The #7 curse haunted ‘The Kings of Kings’

Moreover, RRQ still suffered defeats in weeks 6 and 7. This winless streak caused them to fall to 7th place, a very fragile spot. This is because the bottom three teams (out of nine) are guaranteed to miss the playoffs.

The poor performance of the midlaner, Rinz, also made him the target of anger. Fans began to bring Rinz’s famous statement, “don’t be easily ganked,” back to himself. Fans also reminded Rinz that he could be better than his current form, as they wish it could return before it’s getting too late.

”The curse of the #7 spot, which had always been pointed at its arch-rival, EVOS, now had to be taken by RRQ. Now, RRQ is in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time in its history.”

Hope still lives on!

Throughout the season, RRQ also seemed confused about deciding on their starting 5-man lineup. Dyrennn occasionally replaced Rezzz, but they still couldn’t secure a victory. Finally, RRQ announced that Ferxiic had joined the team after previously being inactive.

Ferxiic’s arrival to fill Sutsujin’s position in week 8 has yet to show any signs of improvement. The decision is considered unclear, given that the most criticized spot is the midlane. Defeats to EVOS and GEEK in week 8 have left RRQ in a very tough position.

In the match against DEWA, RRQ won the game with a score of 2-0. This instantly reignited the players’ enthusiasm to escape the grip of poor results. RRQ needs to sweep two more wins next week to ensure that there will be no shameful chapter in their journey this season.

”So, is there still a fire of optimism for The King of Kings?”
