RRQ have suffered another defeat. After losing to Dewa United Esports last week, they have started Week 9 with yet another loss—this time a 2-0 sweep at the hands of TLID.

RRQ have seemed to lose their edge. Whether it's because they have already secured an upper bracket spot and have chosen not to go all-out, or because they have intentionally held back their strategies, or perhaps they have simply struggled, one thing is clear.

What have usually defined RRQ—their sharp execution, synergy, and consistency—have gone missing. Most notably, the reliable duo of Rinz and Idok have completely been off-form this series.

Faviann’s Ling Dominated, RRQ Powerless in Game 1

RRQ’s dominance has evaporated in Game 1 against TLID. Their draft, which has appeared overly templated, has raised questions. It almost has looked like they have entered the game without much thought.

Idok has locked in Franco once again, but this time, RRQ’s gameplay has failed to evolve. Liquid’s movement has been smooth, and with Kyou in the Gold Lane, strong laning has been guaranteed, thanks to his more disciplined and patient playstyle.

Faviann’s Ling has stolen the spotlight. He has gone wild, delivering critical plays that have carried TLID to victory. Beyond his kills, his control over objectives has been exceptional.

RRQ have been shut down in Game 1, and Idok’s Franco has tasted defeat. TLID have taken the first game convincingly to lead 1-0.

TLID's Total Control—Have RRQ Held Back Their Strategy?

In Game 2, TLID have continued their dominance. While still utilizing core picks like Chip, Hilda, and Ling, they have introduced innovation with Kimmy Gold and Zhuxin in the final picks.

These last two picks have caught many off guard, as Kimmy and Zhuxin have rarely been seen together, especially in such high-stakes games.

Sure enough, RRQ have struggled again. Their composition has failed to break through TLID’s multi-layered frontline and relentless DPS, which have served as a stone wall.

TLID have completely dismantled RRQ and secured a convincing 2-0 sweep.
