  • Ewok and RRQ Part Ways After 3 Years Together

    Tough lesson in the first year

    Ewok’s departure has left a bittersweet legacy since he first took charge of the team in 2022. His first year wasn’t that great, as finishing 5th-6th in the Valorant India Invitational and 9th-12th in the AfreecaTV SEA Invitationals after losing to BOOM Esports. The next tournament, VCT 2023 LOCK//IN SAO PAULO, RRQ was only able to rank 17th-32nd in the S-tier tournament.

    Obviously, this is not a good start for coach Marthinus ‘Ewok’ Van Der Walt. Player changes then made over time, with Jemkin and Monyet joining the team in early 2024 strengthen the squad. Meanwhile, on the other side, EJAY, Emman, 2GE, and Estrella left the team.

    ”However, this is just the beginning of his legacy. 2025 was the pivotal year for ‘The King of Kings’ resurgence under Ewok’s era”

    Bringing first trophy for RRQ Valorant

    After learning their lessons and suffering defeats in tournaments, Ewok and RRQ began to find their best form this year. Kicking off the year competing in in VCT 2025: Pacific Stage 1, RRQ managed to bring home the trophy. They defeated Gen.G in the Grand Final with a score of 3:1. Becoming the Asia-Pacific champion has made ‘The King of Kings’ more confident.

    After winning the title, they will compete in the Esports World Cup and VALORANT Masters Toronto. Unfortunately, at VALORANT Masters Toronto 2025, RRQ just finished in 7th-8th place, taking home $35,000. Their campaign in Riyadh also came to an end at 9th-12th place. However, RRQ managed to bounce back by securing 2nd place at VCT 2025: Pacific Stage 2.

    ”During their three years together, Marthinus ‘Ewok’ Van Der Walt left a strong legacy, making The King of Kings a well-respected team on the world stage.”
