The Indonesian grand Rex Regum Qeon (RRQ) pulled off the most unexpected maneuver of the end of 2025. After a six-year absence, the organization breaks into Apex Legends, signing the former Las Vegas Inferno line-up. It’s not just a comeback, it’s all-in before the ALGS Year 5 Championship, which will be held in Sapporo, Japan. RRQS have been absent from the discipline since 2019, when their first visit lasted only six months, but now the bids have increased to $2 million.
This is the base: The organization did not build a roster from scratch, but bought out the vice-champions of the ALGS 2025 Last Chance Qualifier in the APAC South region. This is a ready-made combat vehicle that has already proven its worth on a global level.

The road to the title: $2 million in Sapporo
From January 15 to January 18, 2026, RRQ will face 39 of the best teams on the planet, including giants such as Alliance (EMEA) and Shopify Rebellion (Americas).
Catch the inside: The Match Point format that will be used in the finals on January 18 is a nightmare for the favorites and a chance for audacious outsiders like RRQ. To take the title, you need not only to score 50 points, but also to snatch a Top-1 victory in the decisive match. One successful drop can turn RRQ’s comeback into the biggest sensation of the year.
Structure of the ALGS Year 5 World Championship:
-
Group Stage: 4 groups of 10 teams. A series of 6 matches to determine the seeding.
-
Bracket Stage: A rigid division into a “winners’ grid” and a “losers’ grid”.
-
Finals: The top 20 teams in the world in the battle to become the first champion in the Match Point system.
To be honest, RRQ’s return right now is a recognition that the Apex Legends ecosystem has finally become financially attractive to major Asian tags. If in 2019 the organization disbanded the line-up after six months due to the instability of the scene, then in 2026 their partnership with the experienced coach yanlys hints at a long-term strategy.
