After a roller-coaster Week 5, RRQ Kazu fell short of securing a direct ticket to the Grand Finals. But hope is not lost—the King still has one final chance in Week 6 to prove their steel resolve.
Battle Royale Mode (Week 5 Knockout Stage)
Day 1 – September 13, 2025
RRQ Kazu struggled to find their rhythm on the first day. From six matches played, their best efforts only placed them mid-table. With 57 total points, they finished in 8th place. ONIC Olympus shone brightest that day, topping the standings with rock-solid consistency.
Day 2 – September 14, 2025
On the second day, RRQ Kazu bounced back with much-improved gameplay. Strong placements and steady eliminations brought them 68 total points, earning a 5th-place finish. The progress was evident, though still not enough for a direct Grand Finals ticket. P Esports dominated Day 2 and secured their spot as champions.
Why Didn’t They Qualify?
Under the Knockout Stage Phase 2 format, only the daily winners from Week 3–5 advance directly to the Grand Finals. Despite RRQ Kazu’s fight, their 8th and 5th-place finishes in Week 5 weren’t enough to cross that threshold.

Week 6: The King’s Last Chance
Now comes the most decisive stage—Last Chance Week 6. Here, 12 teams will battle across 12 full matches, with only the top 6 advancing to the Grand Finals. The rest will be eliminated.
For RRQ Kazu, this is an all-or-nothing moment. Every placement, every elimination, every point will be crucial. Fans will be counting on the King’s trademark resilience to shine in this final test.
Clash Squad Mode: A Closed Chapter
Meanwhile, in Clash Squad Mode, RRQ Kazu’s journey came to an end in the Swiss Stage. The format demanded three wins to advance, but with a 2–3 record, their run was cut short.
RRQ Kazu’s Clash Squad Swiss Stage Results:
- Aug 28, Round 1: Lost 1–2 vs Kagendra

Conclusion
Week 5 was a lesson in highs and lows for RRQ Kazu. Their progress in Battle Royale showed promise, but inconsistency kept them from sealing a direct Finals spot. Meanwhile, their Clash Squad journey ended in heartbreak with a 2–3 Swiss Stage record.
Now, all eyes turn to Week 6—the Last Chance Battle Royale. With just six golden tickets left to the Grand Finals, the question lingers: can the King rise to claim their place on the ultimate stage, or will their journey end here?
