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.

Team Liquid has officially rejoined the Apex Legends competitive scene, unveiling its brand-new roster in partnership with gaming hardware powerhouse Alienware.

A Triumphant Return to the Arena

After stepping back from Apex Legends competition, Team Liquid is back in full force. Their new lineup comes from the rising team ZZ, which made waves in the 2025 Split 2 Pro League Americas by finishing as runners-up among 30 top-tier rosters.

The new Team Liquid Alienware Apex Legends roster features:

• Rhys “Zer0” Perry
• Nochilas “Sikezz” Odom
• Nicholas “Fuhhnq” Wall
• Winnie “tiltedwinnie” Long (Coach)

Winnie joins as the team’s coach after previous stints with notable organisations like NRG, bringing valuable experience to guide Liquid’s new Apex division.

Star Power and a Fresh Start

Perhaps the biggest headline is the signing of Zer0, a proven champion who previously played for Team Falcons alongside ImperialHal. During his tenure there, Zer0 lifted the 2025 Split 1 Pro League Americas trophy, claimed victory in the 2025 Open, and secured a third-place finish at the Year 4 Championship.

Now wearing Liquid blue, Zer0 expressed his excitement online:

“Finally get to be with an organisation I grew up watching. Couldn’t be happier with how everything’s turned out. Time for Liquid Apex to actually win something.”

His enthusiasm mirrors that of the Liquid faithful, who have been eagerly awaiting the team’s return to the Apex Legends Global Series stage.

The Road to Sapporo

Fans won’t have to wait long to see Team Liquid Alienware in action. The roster will debut at the ALGS 2026 Championship, set for January 15–18, 2026, in Sapporo, Japan.

The event will feature 40 of the world’s best teams from regions including Europe, the Americas, APAC North, and APAC South, all battling for their share of a $2 million USD prize pool.

Team Liquid will go head-to-head with Apex Legends powerhouses such as Team Falcons, TSM, Alliance, and Gen.G Esports. With its new roster, the organisation aims to reclaim its spot among the world’s elite and capture its first ALGS title.

A New Chapter for Team Liquid Apex Legends

Team Liquid’s re-entry into Apex Legends, coupled with its long-time partnership with Alienware, signals renewed ambitions for one of esports’ most recognisable names. With a strong mix of experience, chemistry, and hunger to win, Team Liquid Alienware looks poised to make a major impact heading into the 2026 season.

As Zer0 put it, it’s time for Liquid to finally take the crown.
