The Delta Force Invitational Warfare (DFIW) 2025 was never going to be easy. Designed as a battleground for the world’s best Delta Force Warfare PC teams, the tournament gathered elite squads from Asia, Europe, and beyond—each carrying their own regional legacy and tactical identity.
In the middle of that global pressure cooker, RRQx7SINS stood alone as Indonesia’s sole representative.
Held from December 11–14, 2025, at Cung thể thao Quần Ngựa, Hanoi, DFIW 2025 wasn’t just another international event. With a prize pool of roughly USD 180,000 (around IDR 3 billion), offline matches, and a demanding double-elimination format, it was a true test of resilience, preparation, and composure.

One Team, One Flag, Heavy Expectations
RRQx7SINS earned their place in Hanoi by winning the Delta Force National Championship (DFNC) 2025 Season 1 (PC), where they delivered a commanding 2–0 victory over REVKCG in the Grand Final at GBK Basket Hall, Jakarta.
That title didn’t just grant qualification—it carried expectations. As Indonesia’s only representative, RRQx7SINS entered DFIW not only playing for themselves, but also for the visibility and credibility of the country’s Delta Force competitive scene.
A Tough Opening in the Upper Bracket
Their journey began in the upper bracket quarterfinals, where they were immediately tested by Teng Long, a disciplined and methodical team from China known for their exceptional map control.
Despite strong efforts, RRQx7SINS couldn’t find momentum:
- RRQx7SINS vs Teng Long — 0–2
The loss pushed them into the lower bracket, where every match became a do-or-die scenario.
Lower Bracket Resolve: Refusing to Fade Quietly
Facing elimination, RRQx7SINS responded with composure. In the lower bracket round 1, they met Project One, Japan’s representative, a team respected for mechanical consistency and structure.
This time, RRQx7SINS looked sharper—more decisive, more confident:
- RRQx7SINS vs Project One — 2–0
It wasn’t just a win. It was a reminder that they belonged on this stage.
The Final Hurdle in Hanoi
Momentum carried them into the lower bracket quarterfinals, where they faced Rapid Lofi, Vietnam’s qualifier and a team fueled by home-crowd energy and deep familiarity with the maps.
The series was tightly contested, swinging back and forth:
- RRQx7SINS vs Rapid Lofi — 1–2
RRQx7SINS fought until the final map, but Rapid Lofi ultimately closed the door. With that result, RRQx7SINS’ run at DFIW 2025 came to an end.
Final Standing and Context
RRQx7SINS finished the tournament in:
- 5th–6th place
- USD 13,000 in prize money
For perspective, the top finishers were:
- 1st — ToxidoNxG (USD 60,000)
- 2nd — Teng Long (USD 40,000)
- 3rd — DNI (USD 30,000)
- 4th — Rapid Lofi (USD 24,000)
On paper, fifth or sixth place may seem modest. In context, it tells a much richer story.
More Than a Result
DFIW 2025 demanded excellence at every level:
- Offline competition, removing all comfort zones
- Best-of-three, double-elimination format
- Warfare: Victory Unite mode, featuring 20-player rosters and constant role swaps between attacker and defender
- A diverse map pool including Ascencion, Cracked, Threshold, Trainwreck, Trenchlines, and Fault
For RRQx7SINS, this was not just a tournament—it was a baptism into the highest tier of global Delta Force competition.
A Foundation, Not a Finish Line
RRQx7SINS may not have lifted the trophy in Hanoi, but their presence alone sent a clear message:
Indonesia belongs in the global Delta Force conversation.
Every round played, every map contested, and every lesson learned at DFIW 2025 adds to a foundation that didn’t exist before. This was a first step—hard-earned, imperfect, and invaluable.
The journey didn’t end on a podium.
But it began on the world stage.
