The journey of RRQ in IKL Fall 2025 has officially come to an end. After finishing second in Group Tyrant with an impressive 10–3 record during the Regular Season, the King’s run was halted in the Playoffs, where they ultimately placed 5–6th overall following a tough loss to Dominator Esports in the Upper Bracket Quarterfinals.

Playoffs: A Sudden Halt to RRQ’s Campaign
In the Upper Bracket Quarterfinals, RRQ faced Dominator Esports in what was expected to be a close and thrilling series. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned — Dominator came in better prepared, sweeping the series 2–0 and sending RRQ out of contention.
This early exit hit even harder given the format of this season’s IKL Playoffs, which did not include a Lower Bracket, meaning a single loss ended a team’s journey entirely. Ironically, RRQ had previously defeated Dominator 2–0 in Week 6 of the Regular Season, but the result could not be replicated when it mattered most.
Final Standings and Prize Distribution
The IKL Fall 2025 Playoffs concluded with Bigetron by Vitality emerging as champions after a dominant Grand Final performance. Their player ZhanQ claimed the Finals MVP title and a $500 bonus for his standout plays.
The full final standings and prize breakdown are as follows:
| Rank | Team | Prize (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Bigetron by Vitality | $15,350 |
| 2nd | Kagendra | $11,400 |
| 3rd | Vesakha Esports | $8,250 |
| 4th | Dominator Esports | $6,400 |
| 5–6th | Rex Regum Qeon (RRQ) | $5,650 |
| 5–6th | Mahadewa | $4,600 |
| 7–8th | TALON ID | $2,450 |
| 7–8th | Alter Ego Esports | $2,050 |
| 9–10th | ONIC | $2,000 |
| 9–10th | Revemoin Esports | $1,350 |
The total prize pool of $60,000 USD was distributed among all participating teams, with RRQ taking home $5,650 USD for their 5–6th finish — a fair reflection of their solid overall performance this season.
Season Reflections and The Road Ahead
While RRQ’s playoff journey ended earlier than hoped, their regular season performance proved that the team remains among the top contenders in the league. Finishing second in their group with a 10–3 record — only narrowly behind the leaders — shows the depth, discipline, and growth that define this current roster.
Looking ahead, there’s plenty to be optimistic about. The team’s maturity, combined with valuable playoff experience, lays the foundation for an even stronger comeback in IKL Spring 2026.
RRQ’s mission remains the same: to reclaim the throne, challenge powerhouses like Bigetron by Vitality and Kagendra, and reignite the indomitable spirit that defines the King of Kings.
This season may have ended short of glory — but it lit the fire for a greater return.
