As a leading voice in Southeast Asian esports, we've closely followed the competitive PUBG Mobile scene. In a surprising move, Indonesia-based organization Rex Regum Qeon (RRQ) has disbanded its PUBG Mobile Thailand roster amid recent challenges.
PUBG Mobile continues to drive esports growth worldwide, with its Pro League (PMPL) tournaments showcasing top talent. As PMPL Season 4 unfolds across regions, RRQ's decision highlights the high stakes in professional play.
RRQ, a powerhouse in games like Apex Legends, Arena of Valor, Dota 2, Free Fire, and PUBG Mobile, previously managed two PUBG Mobile teams: RRQ Athena (Thailand) and RRQ RYU (Indonesia). RRQ Athena, featuring stars like D2E, Earnny, Senior, and Beer11, was disbanded earlier this year. RRQ then reformed its Thai lineup simply as "RRQ."

However, ongoing struggles prompted the latest disbandment. Factors include underwhelming tournament results and evolving esports regulations. The roster included:
In PMPL Season 4 Thailand, RRQ performed decently in the League Stage but finished 12th in the Finals, missing the mark.
RRQ will retain its strong Indonesian squad, RRQ RYU, which could reclaim the dominance RRQ once enjoyed in the region.
