The road to EWC 26 Paris is not only about the matches that will be played on the world stage. It is also about the communities that make esports meaningful long before the first game begins.
To celebrate that spirit, RRQ × EWC 26 Paris introduces Rise Above 2026, a regional esports and community movement that will take place across three cities in two countries: Bali, Jakarta, and Kuala Lumpur.
Built as a celebration of esports culture across Indonesia and Malaysia, Rise Above 2026 brings together fans, talents, creators, artists, players, and communities in one shared experience.
3 Cities. 2 Countries. One Movement.
Bringing the EWC Spirit Closer to the Community
For many fans, esports is more than something they watch. It is something they live with.
It is the late-night match, the crowded watch party, the debate before a grand final, the jersey worn with pride, and the moment when a clutch play makes an entire room rise at once.
Rise Above 2026 was created to bring that energy closer to the people who make esports culture what it is: the community.
The event will be held in three cities:
Bali
Berbagi Ruang dan Kopi
Saturday, 11 July 2026
Jakarta
Anora 2
Sunday, 19 July 2026
Kuala Lumpur
Sungei Wang Plaza
Sunday, 2 August 2026
Each city will become a gathering point for fans to meet, compete, create, celebrate, and experience the excitement of EWC 26 Paris together.
More Than a Watch Party
Rise Above 2026 is designed as more than a viewing event. It is a full esports culture experience.
Through the Meet & Greet, fans will have the opportunity to meet RRQ talents face-to-face, creating moments that go beyond the screen and closer to the people they support.
The EWC Watch Party will bring fans together to feel every play, every clutch, and every defining moment of EWC 26 Paris live with the crowd. Because some moments are simply more powerful when they are shared.
For those who want to test their own skills, MLBB and eFootball Mini Tournaments will give players the chance to step up, compete, and prove themselves in front of the community.

A Stage for Creators and Artists
Esports has never been built by players alone. It is also shaped by the artists, designers, storytellers, and creators who turn passion into culture.
Through Creator Alley, Rise Above 2026 gives creators and artists a dedicated space to showcase their work directly to esports fans. From fan art and illustrations to creative products and original works, this space is designed to celebrate the creative side of the community.
The event will also feature a Marketplace, where fans can discover fan art, official merchandise, and exclusive collectibles. It is a space for supporters to take home a piece of the experience and for creators to connect directly with the people who understand their work.
Meanwhile, Champion’s Corner will give fans the opportunity to stand beside the trophies that represent RRQ’s legacy, celebrating the achievements that helped define the organization’s journey.
Opening Opportunities for the Community
Rise Above 2026 is also inviting artists, creators, and tenants to become part of the movement.

One Movement Across Two Countries
At its heart, Rise Above 2026 is a reminder that esports is bigger than the stage.
It lives in the fans who show up.
It grows through the creators who build around it.
It becomes stronger through every community that gathers, supports, competes, and celebrates together.
From Indonesia to Malaysia, from Bali to Jakarta to Kuala Lumpur, RRQ × EWC 26 Paris is bringing the spirit of EWC closer to the people who make esports matter.
RRQ × EWC 26 Paris — Rise Above 2026 is not just an event.
It is a movement.
