Last Saturday (June 7, 2025), the Grand Ballroom of Ayana Hotel Jakarta was filled with excitement as more than 550 RRQ fans gathered to attend the RRQ Watch Party for the Esports World Cup: Level Up Documentary. The evening offered a unique opportunity for the community to come together, watch the inspiring documentary now streaming globally on Prime Video, and celebrate the human stories behind the world of esports.
More Than Just a Watch Party
The event went beyond a simple screening. It featured a series of interactive activities designed to strengthen the bond between RRQ and its loyal community. Fans enjoyed fun sessions, live quizzes, an engaging talk show with special guests, and the highlight of the evening — an exclusive Meet & Greet with the RRQ Hoshi team.
Among the distinguished guests who graced the event were:
- RRQ Hoshi (MPL)
- Andrian “AP” Pauline, CEO of Team RRQ
- RRQ BB
- Michelle Christo
Fans were also treated to exciting giveaways, with many lucky attendees walking away with exclusive RRQ merchandise. The most coveted prize of the night? Two Superfan tickets to watch the Esports World Cup live in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The Superfan Experience: A Dream Ticket
For those unfamiliar, the Superfan ticket is valued at tens of millions of rupiah and offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience: round-trip flights to Riyadh, a 5-night hotel stay, and VIP access to the live Esports World Cup event. No wonder the energy in the ballroom was electric as the winners were announced!
Level Up: Stories Beyond the Esports Arena
The Esports World Cup: Level Up documentary spans five episodes, offering viewers an authentic, unscripted look into the emotional journeys of professional esports athletes from around the globe. Directed by R.J. Cutler, the series captures both the triumphs and struggles behind the scenes.
The inaugural Esports World Cup itself set remarkable records, with multi-million-dollar prize pools and a global audience exceeding 500 million viewers. But Level Up shines a light on what truly matters — the dedication, sacrifice, and passion that drive players to compete at the highest level.
RRQ: Part of EWCF Club Partner Program 2025
It’s worth noting that since March 2025, Team RRQ has officially joined the EWCF Club Partner Program. This global initiative by the Esports World Cup Foundation is investing a total of USD 20 million to strengthen and sustain the global esports ecosystem.
As one of the select elite esports organizations included in the program, RRQ is now taking its performance and brand visibility on the international stage to the next level.
Andrian Pauline, CEO & Co-Founder of RRQ, shared his perspective: “Joining the EWCF Club Partner Program marks an important milestone for RRQ. As the largest esports organization in Southeast Asia, we are dedicated to continuous growth and innovation. This partnership will allow us to deepen our connection with our fans while contributing to the development of the global esports ecosystem.”
Hans Jagnow, Director of Club & Player Relations at the Esports World Cup Foundation, added: “We are thrilled to welcome RRQ to the program. RRQ is one of the most influential organizations within Southeast Asia’s esports ecosystem. We believe their experience and impact will be pivotal in helping us shape a stronger future for esports in the region.”
Celebrating Community and the Culture of Esports
For RRQ, this Watch Party was more than an event — it was a celebration of the community’s spirit and the evolving culture of esports. Through Level Up, fans were reminded that esports is not only about winning and competition, but also about human stories of perseverance, passion, and growth.
Moments like these demonstrate how esports has become an integral part of global pop culture, with vibrant communities like RRQ Kingdom playing a key role in shaping its future.
