The announcement confirms RRQ’s intent to re establish itself among the elite, with a proven roster, experienced coaching staff, and a clear target in sight as ALGS 2026 approaches.
RRQ Announces New Apex Legends Division
RRQ revealed its new Apex Legends lineup through an official social media post, welcoming three players formerly competing under the LVI and Outside banners. The trio will represent RRQ at the ALGS Year 5 Championship, which runs from January 15 to January 18, 2026.
The organisation has also confirmed that the squad will be guided by an experienced coaching and analytics team, as RRQ looks to make an immediate impact in its long awaited return to the scene.
RRQ last competed in Apex Legends back in 2019, after signing a roster in March of that year. However, the organisation exited the scene just six months later. Since then, the competitive landscape has changed significantly, making this comeback one of RRQ’s most ambitious projects in recent years.
Full RRQ Apex Legends Roster
RRQ’s Apex Legends roster features a mix of leadership and firepower, led by a familiar core from the APAC South region.
Players
- Panupong “sato_kohai” Prasertphongkun, IGL and Captain
- Komkrit “Noelsang” Malaihom
- Supakorn “mosu” Kaewpang
Staff
- Jasper “yanlys” Xiang, Coach
- Alexis “zona”, Analyst
The roster was previously known as Las Vegas Inferno, a team that finished as runner up at the ALGS 2025 Last Chance Qualifier for APAC South. Their strong performance there earned them a spot at the Year 5 Championship, making them a ready made contender for RRQ’s return.
Yanlys brings valuable experience to the squad, having worked with teams such as JD Gaming and XNY in the ALGS APAC South scene, while Zona joins as the team’s dedicated analyst.
RRQ’s Road to the ALGS Year 5 Championship
The ALGS Year 5 Championship serves as the final and most prestigious event of the Apex Legends esports calendar. The 2026 edition marks the conclusion of Year 5, following months of qualifiers, Challenger Series events, and Pro League competition across all regions.
A total of 40 teams from around the world will compete in Sapporo, Japan, fighting for a share of the $2 million prize pool. Teams from every major region will be in attendance, from Alliance in EMEA to Shopify Rebellion in the Americas.
The offline event will unfold across three stages, starting with the Group Stage. Four groups of ten teams will each play a six match series, with results determining placement into the Winners and Losers Brackets.
From there, the top 20 teams will advance to the Finals on January 18, 2026. The championship will conclude with a Match Point format, where squads must reach 50 points and secure a match victory to claim the ALGS Year 5 title.
A New Era for RRQ in Apex Legends
With a competitive roster, experienced leadership, and momentum heading into the biggest event of the season, RRQ’s return to Apex Legends is one of the most notable storylines heading into ALGS 2026.
The organisation now faces 39 of the world’s best teams in a scene that has evolved dramatically since its last appearance. Whether RRQ can complete its comeback with a deep championship run remains to be seen, but expectations are already building among fans across the region.
As the countdown to Sapporo begins, all eyes will be on RRQ as it steps back onto the global Apex Legends stage.
