Roster changes ahead of a new season always bring excitement to the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Indonesia scene. Expectations rise, narratives shift, and fans begin imagining what the next chapter might look like. This time, the spotlight turns to RRQ Hoshi, who officially introduce two new additions to their lineup: Yehezkiel and Kuroky.
One arrives as an MPL champion. The other steps in as a rising talent ready to prove himself on the biggest stage. Together, they represent both continuity and renewal — a balance every championship contender strives to achieve.
Yehezkiel: From MDL Prospect to MPL Champion
Born on September 11, 2005, Yehezkiel Wiseman Hamonangan Napitu has already built an impressive journey despite his young age.
His professional career began in 2022 with Aura Blaze, Aura Esports’ development roster competing in MDL Indonesia Season 6. Like many future stars, Yehezkiel first refined his fundamentals in the developmental league, gaining experience across two MDL seasons before earning promotion to the main roster.
After competing in MDL Season 6 and Season 7, he moved up to Aura Fire, making his MPL Indonesia debut in Season 12. From that point onward, he became a consistent presence in the league, competing through multiple seasons during a period of major organizational change.
In 2024, Aura Fire transitioned into Team Liquid ID following an acquisition by Team Liquid — a transformation that tested both team identity and player adaptability. Yehezkiel remained a key part of that evolution.
The defining moment of his career came during MPL ID Season 14, when he helped lead Team Liquid ID to the championship title, defeating RRQ Hoshi in the Grand Final.
Now, in one of esports’ most poetic twists, the player who once stood across the stage as an opponent joins RRQ to begin a new chapter — bringing championship experience, composure under pressure, and a winning mentality with him.

Kuroky: A Tier-Two Talent Ready for the Spotlight
While Yehezkiel represents proven experience, Kuroky embodies potential and opportunity.
Known off-stage as Habil Azhari Akbar, Kuroky built his reputation competing in Indonesia’s tier-two ecosystem through the Liga Esports Nasional (LEN) MLBB circuit. He previously played for VL Team during LEN 2025, where the team secured a third-place finish — a strong result that placed him firmly on the radar of higher-tier organizations.
Despite never having played in MPL before, Kuroky’s performances stood out for one key reason: versatility.
As a Gold Laner, he is recognized for a wide and flexible hero pool. Beyond traditional Marksman picks, Kuroky has demonstrated confidence using Fighter heroes in the Gold Lane, adding strategic unpredictability to drafting phases.
One of his most talked-about moments came when he successfully utilized Joy in the Gold Lane, an unconventional choice rarely seen at the MPL level. The decision reflected not only mechanical confidence but also a willingness to challenge established norms — a trait often found in players capable of redefining metas.
For RRQ, Kuroky represents more than a new player; he represents untapped potential.
Experience Meets Possibility
The arrival of Yehezkiel and Kuroky signals a clear direction for RRQ Hoshi: building a roster that blends proven achievement with future promise.
One player contributes experience forged through multiple MPL seasons and a championship victory. The other brings hunger, adaptability, and the unpredictability of emerging talent.
Together, they add new dimensions to RRQ’s competitive identity heading into the upcoming season.
RRQ Hoshi Roster for MPL ID Season 17
With these additions, RRQ Hoshi’s lineup for MPL Indonesia Season 17 is set as follows:
- Kenneth Marcello (Super Kenn)
- Muhammad Rizky (Toyy)
- Said Ali Ridho (Idok)
- Hajirin Arafat M.J (Rinz)
- Nathaniel S. Yambao (Dan)
- Yehezkiel Wiseman Hamonangan Napitu (Yehezkiel)
- Habil Azhari Akbar (Kuroky)
The roster combines established names familiar to the RRQ Kingdom with fresh energy eager to leave its mark.
A New Season, A New Story
Every MPL season begins with uncertainty. Chemistry cannot be predicted, and success is never guaranteed on paper. Yet roster changes often mark the beginning of defining eras.
For RRQ Hoshi, this is more than a lineup update — it is the start of another journey shaped by ambition, adaptation, and belief.
Because in esports, the most compelling stories are rarely written by expectation alone. They are built through growth, resilience, and moments that redefine what a team can become.
As MPL ID Season 17 approaches, one thing is certain: a new chapter has begun, and RRQ Hoshi are ready to write it.
