The latest update ahead of Games of the Future (GOTF) 2025 has finally arrived, and it brings major news for Indonesian Mobile Legends fans: RRQ Hoshi has officially been placed in Group C. They will face a diverse and formidable lineup — Team Spirit (Russia), Team Falcons (Saudi Arabia), and The Mongolz (Mongolia) — representing three different regions and three very different styles of play.
The GOTF 2025 Group Stage will run on:
- 18–20 December 2025
- Double-elimination bracket
- Top two teams from each group advance to the Playoffs
With such a rigorous structure, every match carries enormous weight. A single misstep could shift the standings instantly — yet the format also leaves room for resilience, adaptation, and the kind of comeback stories that define RRQ’s legacy.

RRQ Hoshi’s Roster: A Blend of MPL Experience and Fresh Momentum
Long before the group draw, RRQ Hoshi sparked conversation by announcing their final roster for GOTF 2025. Although the team carried eight players throughout MPL ID Season 16, only five core players were selected for this global stage:
- Dyren – Explaner
- Idok – Roamer
- Sutsujin – Jungler
- Toyy – Goldlaner
- Rinz – Midlaner
From this lineup, RRQ signals a clear intention: an aggressive, high-tempo identity — a style that has defined the organization for years — supported by strong flexibility in the mid–jungle axis.
Guiding the squad are two coaches with complementary strengths: Alfi Syahrin Nelphyana (Khezcute) brings local insight and long-term familiarity with the Indonesian scene, while Jian Paulo “Pauuu” Munsayac adds international perspective. Together, they shape a coaching duo capable of both discipline and bold experimentation.
The Global Lineup of Games of the Future MLBB 2025: A World Stage With the Heat of Southeast Asia
This year’s GOTF MLBB competition gathers 16 teams across Southeast Asia, MENA, LATAM, Japan, and China. It’s a global tournament — but the unmistakable fire of Southeast Asia continues to dominate the narrative.
Indonesia’s Representatives
- ONIC Esports
- RRQ Hoshi
Two giants, two massive fanbases, and two teams expected to carry the hopes of a nation.
Other Southeast Asian Contenders
- Aurora Gaming (Philippines)
- HomeBois (Malaysia)
SEA remains the home of some of the most tactically disciplined yet mechanically fierce MLBB gameplay — ensuring regional rivalries will feel as intense as ever.
Teams From Beyond SEA
- Team Spirit, Verso Time, and Aurora (Turkey) add the flavor of Eastern Europe.
- DianFengYaoGuai (China) and Zeta Division (Japan) promise tactical precision and unpredictable drafts.
- Influence Rage (LATAM) brings explosive aggression.
- The Mongolz (Mongolia) offers a wildcard presence capable of surprising any opponent.
It’s a beautifully varied field — from macro-focused CN–JP structures to the wild, fast-paced firefights typical of LATAM. GOTF sets the stage for a clash not just of teams, but of philosophies.

What Is Games of the Future? A Tournament Built to Break the Mold
Games of the Future isn’t designed to follow traditional esports norms. Instead, it exists to push boundaries, challenge expectations, and create formats that feel alive, bold, and experimental.
The event consists of three main categories:
1. Phygital Sports
A hybrid of physical and digital competition.
Imagine basketball, football, or dance performed simultaneously in real and virtual arenas.
One match, two worlds — and a completely new kind of spectacle.
2. Esports
This is where MLBB sits, alongside other competitive titles.
High-stakes tournaments, daring strategies, and elite mechanical skill define this category.
Any game can belong here — as long as it delivers excitement worthy of a global audience.
3. Tech Sports
A playground for innovation and adrenaline.
From high-speed drone racing to intense robot battles, this category celebrates the intersection of technology and athleticism.
Group C: RRQ Hoshi’s First Test on the Global Stage
The Group C draw presents both difficulty and possibility. Against opponents with contrasting playstyles and strong international experience, RRQ Hoshi faces a genuine test of identity and adaptability.
But with a roster shaped by MPL experience, a coaching staff with complementary strengths, and a fanbase that never stops roaring, RRQ enters the group with more than just hope — they enter with momentum.
Now, everything comes down to execution under the brightest lights.
And as always, the Kingdom is ready to stand behind them.
