RRQ Hoshi's roster for MPL ID Season 16 was announced on Monday, August 11, 2025, with several familiar faces remaining in the roster of the King of Kings. However, RRQ Hoshi brings new faces to MPL ID Season 16. This has made this roster even more sought after, given that MPL ID Season 16 is the path to the M7 World Championship.

RRQ Hoshi's poor performance at the MSC 2025 Esports World Cup, finishing in the top 8, is considered the "worst" of the current roster. Previously, they finished runner-up in MPL ID Season 14, top 4 in the M6 World Championship, runner-up in ESL SPS Season 6, and runner-up in MPL ID Season 15. RRQ Hoshi was almost certain to secure a better result, but not at MSC 2025.

This prompted management to conduct an evaluation. Furthermore, the loss of Skylar also had a significant impact on RRQ Hoshi's MPL ID Season 16 roster. However, Skylar's loss isn't the end of the world. The RRQ Hoshi MPL ID S16 roster needs a stronger foundation than ever if they want to win this season's title and qualify for the M7 World Championship.

The RRQ Hoshi MPL ID S16 roster includes two young stars: Rezz as EXP Laner and Zunesh as Jungler, each serving as backup players. The team's coaching staff remains unchanged. In response to the announcement of the RRQ Hoshi MPL ID S16 roster, Talent and former RRQ coach Petra "Fiel" Giovani spoke.

Fiel Responds to the RRQ Hoshi MPL ID S16 Roster: Full Support

As previously mentioned, on Monday, August 11, 2025, Team RRQ officially announced the RRQ Hoshi roster for MPL ID S16. The short video features various figures, including RRQ CEO Andrian "AP" Pauline and former RRQ Hoshi midlaner Deden "Clayyy" Nurhasan in a cameo. RRQ Hoshi coach Alfi "Khezcute" Nelphyana also makes an appearance.

Fiel reacted to the announcement of the RRQ Hoshi MPL ID Season 16 roster via his YouTube channel. He also took a look at the returning players for the King of Kings this season. According to Fiel, the presence of Rezz and Zunesh is due to their successful trial run.

"My response is, what Khezcute is doing to improve their MDL players, even though they haven't had the chance to play, is that they've probably already had a trial. They've had trials, they've had scrims, and the results are good," Fiel said. "So, at the very least, skill-wise, they're probably capable, because they ultimately qualified for Hoshi," he said.

Fiel continued, stating that Khezcute had carefully considered the RRQ Hoshi MPL ID Season 16 roster. Looking back at MPL ID Season 14, with its new faces from the MDL, Fiel believes this roster can produce equally impressive results, as Khezcute is implementing the same method.

"But if you ask me if the decision was the right one? I think the coach has considered many things. For example, the RRQ MPL Season 14 roster, with the rise of Rinz, Idok, and others, was also questionable at first. It was all MDL players except Skylar," Fiel added.

"Even though we finished runner-up, the result was still good. But the point is, with the regeneration of new players and Khezcute's polish, Idok, Rinz, and others finally proved they could do it in MPL Season 14. And perhaps Khezcute will employ the same method," he explained.

Responding to questions about whether the roster could still change throughout MPL ID Season 16, Fiel stated that all changes are still possible. Teams can still make roster changes throughout the regular season. However, for now, Fiel approves of the roster that Khezcute has promoted to RRQ Hoshi.

"If you're asking, 'Bro, can (RRQ) still buy players? Blablabla,' yes, guys. The transfer window is open, and as far as I remember, the maximum number of players allowed is week 9. So (RRQ) can still buy players, move players up and down. Is that possible? Maybe, maybe not? Maybe," he explained.

"Because things like that are normal, moving players up and down and buying players mid-season, it's possible. After all, Hazle was also on loan (to another team) mid-season. So, if you're asking about my response, yes, the current roster is the one that Khezcute has deemed mature enough to be announced as the Hoshi roster," Fiel explained.

Finally, regarding his views on Rezz and Zunesh, Fiel stated that he trusts the management and Khezcute's plans for the RRQ Hoshi MPL ID Season 16 roster. He believes Rezz already has experience, but that doesn't mean Zunesh can be underestimated as a newcomer.

"Because they've already scrimmed and practiced a lot, it means they're all mechanically ready. Mentally, on stage, and so on, Rezz has probably been on the MPL stage. Zunesh hasn't even played in the MDL, but Khezcute has confidence in him. We don't know if Zunesh will play or be a substitute so he can see what the MPL is like."

"That's my response, so if you ask me, what's my response? I trust whatever decision Team RRQ and Khezcute make. So, we'll just have to wait and see what his debut will be like. After all, the five players who played in EWC are still there, right?" he concluded.
