Another RRQ division has officially secured its place at the Esports World Cup 2026. This time, the achievement comes from Trackmania, with Cem “Cemko” Akyürek earning qualification after winning the Road to EWC: Online Qualifier – Middle East North Africa.
Cemko, a Turkish player currently representing Rex Regum Qeon, finished first in the regional qualifier and claimed the only available slot to the Esports World Cup 2026. His victory adds another important chapter to RRQ’s growing international campaign this year.
With this result, RRQ Trackmania joins the list of RRQ divisions that have already qualified for EWC 2026, alongside VALORANT, Free Fire through RRQ Kazu, PUBG Mobile through RRQ Ryu, and Apex Legends.
For the Kingdom, this is more than just another qualification. It is another sign of RRQ’s expanding presence across different competitive titles, from tactical shooters and battle royale games to the precision-driven world of racing esports.

Cemko’s Road Through the MENA Qualifier
Cemko earned his ticket through the Road to EWC: Online Qualifier – Middle East North Africa, a tournament that tested not only speed, but also consistency, composure, and precision under pressure.
The qualifier began with the Time Attack stage, where two maps were randomly selected. Each player had 10 minutes on each map, with the combined results determining the seeding position for the playoffs.
From there, the competition moved into the Playoffs, played in Cup Mode. Each round awarded points based on finishing position, with a distribution of 10, 6, 4, and 3 points. All matches except the Grand Final had a 120-point limit, while the Grand Final raised the threshold to 140 points. The event also used a double-elimination bracket, giving players little room for error but still demanding resilience across every round.
In a format like this, one perfect run is never enough. Players must repeatedly deliver clean, fast, and controlled performances. Cemko did exactly that.
A First-Place Finish and a Ticket to EWC 2026
At the end of the qualifier, Cemko stood at the top of the standings. He finished in first place, ahead of Huso, Ender, and Birdie, and secured the only qualification slot from the MENA qualifier to the Esports World Cup 2026.
That result makes his victory even more meaningful. Cemko did not only win the tournament; he won the right to represent RRQ on one of the biggest esports stages in the world.
For RRQ, this achievement is also a proud reminder that excellence can come from many different arenas. Trackmania may not always be the loudest title in the esports conversation, but it is a game built on discipline, precision, and the courage to keep pushing for perfection. Cemko’s qualification proves that the Kingdom can compete in that space as well.
RRQ’s EWC 2026 Lineup Continues to Grow
Cemko’s qualification strengthens RRQ’s presence at the Esports World Cup 2026 even further. Before Trackmania, RRQ had already secured spots through multiple divisions: VALORANT, RRQ Kazu in Free Fire, RRQ Ryu in PUBG Mobile, and RRQ Apex Legends.
Now, with Trackmania added to the list, RRQ’s EWC 2026 campaign becomes even more diverse.
This is not just about sending more teams and players to the world stage. It is about showing the depth of RRQ’s competitive spirit across different games, regions, and communities. Every qualification carries its own story, and Cemko’s journey adds another layer of pride for the Kingdom.
Another Step Forward for the Kingdom
Cemko’s victory in the Road to EWC: Online Qualifier – Middle East North Africa marks an important milestone for RRQ Trackmania. Through a demanding format and a highly competitive field, he showed the speed, consistency, and mental strength needed to reach the top.
Now, Cemko is officially heading to the Esports World Cup 2026.
One more division has qualified. One more player will carry the RRQ name to the world stage. And once again, the Kingdom continues its journey forward.
