RRQ Hoshi is ready to reclaim its throne. After a transitional period that saw Indonesia’s most successful Mobile Legends organization fall short of championship expectations, RRQ Hoshi has unveiled its ultimate squad for MPL Indonesia Season 17. According to Juan Sports, fans are eager to see if the revamped lineup can return to glory, and early signs suggest this roster is built not just to compete but to dominate.
Unveiled on February 26, 2026, the new RRQ Hoshi roster is a bold statement of intent. Defined by high-profile transfers, international imports, and mechanical superiority, this lineup promises fireworks from the very first match. As the season begins on March 27, we dive into the composition, strategies, and expectations for this powerful squad. Juan Sports notes that this is one of the most anticipated RRQ Hoshi updates in recent years. Fans are already debating whether RRQ can reclaim its place at the top of MPL ID Season 17.
The Blockbuster Signing: Super Kenn Joins
The team made headlines by acquiring Kenneth “Super Kenn” Marcello, formerly of Bigetron Alpha. Renowned for his aggressive jungling and high mechanical skill, Super Kenn instantly becomes the “fear factor” of RRQ Hoshi.
Replacing Sutsujin, who moves to an inactive role, Super Kenn’s presence creates drafting advantages. His mastery of heroes like Fanny, Ling, and Nolan forces opponents to ban specifically against him, opening opportunities for the mid-lane and EXP Lane to thrive. Analysts at Juan Sports predict that the synergy between Super Kenn and the mid-lane duo will define the regular season.
Super Kenn’s inclusion signals a shift in gameplay philosophy. Previously, the team prioritized safe rotations, but with this acquisition, RRQ Hoshi can now execute high-pressure, early-game plays that force mistakes from even the most disciplined opponents. The balance between aggression and discipline will be crucial in Season 17.
The Filipino Factor: Dann in the EXP Lane
Continuing the trend of importing top-tier talent, the team adds Dan Nathaniel “Dann” Yambao as the primary EXP Laner. Dann brings the “PH Discipline” to the squad: precise rotations, impeccable wave management, and reliable defensive play.
With Dyrennn inactive, RRQ Hoshi needed a player capable of contributing damage and initiating plays. Dann’s arrival represents a strategic shift toward hybrid EXP Lane players who balance aggression with stability. His ability to rotate effectively during teamfights allows the squad to maintain map control while ensuring the jungle is free for Super Kenn to dominate.
For Season 17, the EXP Lane will be one of the most competitive roles in MPL ID. Dann’s performance will be closely watched, especially in early clashes against rivals like FNATIC ONIC and EVOS Holy. Juan Sports highlighted that his presence may be the X-factor that decides key matches this season.
Mid-Lane Chess Match: Yehezkiel vs. Rinz
Mid-lane depth is a key asset for the squad this season. Yehezkiel Wiseman H. Napitu from Team Liquid ID competes with Hajirin “Rinz” Arafat for the starting spot.
- Yehezkiel: Veteran experience and clutch factor, excels on high-damage mages like Pharsa and Yve.
- Rinz: Homegrown talent from RRQ Sena, aggressive and versatile in the current assassin-mage meta with heroes like Valentina and Faramis.
This dual-mid strategy gives Head Coach Khezcute flexibility to adapt against different opponents, providing multiple tactical options for RRQ Hoshi players. Depending on the matchup, the coach can rotate mid-lane selections to counter bans or exploit weaknesses in enemy compositions, giving the squad a strategic edge.
Furthermore, the mid-lane synergy with the jungle is vital. Super Kenn’s aggressive rotations, combined with a mechanically adept mid-laner ensures that RRQ Hoshi can snowball early-game leads into decisive map control.
Gold Lane Evolution: Kuroky and Toyy
In the Gold Lane, the team mixes emerging talent with proven performers. Habil “Kuroky” Azhari Akbar joins as a mechanically gifted newcomer, while Muhammad “Toyy” Rizky provides stability.
The Gold Lane is high-pressure in 2026, especially against aggressive opponents like Kelra at FNATIC ONIC. Roamer Said “Idok” Ali Ridho will be crucial, protecting the lane while supporting Super Kenn’s jungle control. Effective coordination here will define early-game dominance for RRQ Hoshi MPL ID S17.
Kuroky’s ability to carry games with precise mechanics on key meta heroes will complement Dann’s rotations in the EXP Lane. With Toyy as a reliable secondary, the team ensures that even if one carry is shut down, RRQ Hoshi can still fight back and regain control. This flexibility is a key component of the RRQ Hoshi update strategy.
Roaming and Support Strategy
Said “Idok” Ali Ridho, the primary Roamer, has a pivotal role in controlling vision, initiating fights, and supporting lane dominance. Idok’s playstyle emphasizes aggressive warding, early skirmishes, and counter-ganks, allowing RRQ Hoshi to maintain map pressure.
The secondary Roamer role is covered by Toyy or sometimes rotated with Rinz for specific strategies. This flexibility allows the squad to adopt a double-roamer approach when the match requires heavy map pressure or objective control.
Tactical Leadership: The Khezcute Philosophy
Head Coach Alfi “Khezcute” Syahrin Nelphyana continues to lead the squad with disciplined macro rotations and team-focused strategies, supported by NMM and analyst Pauuu.
Integrating Super Kenn’s high-risk, high-reward style requires balancing aggression with tactical discipline. If executed well, this approach makes the team nearly unstoppable in a Best-of-5 series. This leadership style is a key part of the RRQ Hoshi update for Season 17.
Khezcute’s approach emphasizes adaptability. Against aggressive teams, the squad can adopt a defensive posture, using map control and vision to neutralize threats. Against slower, macro-focused teams, they can leverage mechanical advantage to snowball early-game leads.
Season 17 Expectations and Key Matchups
Expectations are always Championship or Bust. Anything less than a Top 2 finish and a slot in the next international tournament is considered a disappointment by the loyal “Kingdom” fanbase.
Key matchups to watch:
- March 27 vs. NAVI: Season opener, first chance for Super Kenn and Dann to make an impact.
- March 29 vs. FNATIC ONIC (The Royal Derby): Clash of philosophies: aggressive jungle vs. disciplined macro.
- Week 4 vs. Team Liquid ID: Yehezkiel faces his former teammates in a high-stakes revenge match.
These games will test the squad’s synergy, mechanical skill, and adaptability in high-pressure MPL ID Season 17 scenarios.
Final Roster Summary: RRQ Hoshi Season 17
- EXP Lane: Dann (PH Import)
- Jungle: Super Kenn
- Mid Lane: Yehezkiel / Rinz
- Gold Lane: Kuroky / Toyy
- Roamer: Idok
- Coaching: Khezcute (HC), NMM (AC), Pauuu (Analyst)
This roster embraces a “performance-first” philosophy, moving beyond loyalty-focused selections. The combination of Super Kenn’s jungle dominance, Dann’s disciplined EXP play, and mid-lane flexibility positions the squad to challenge any MPL ID S17 contender.
Conclusion: A King Reborn
The RRQ Hoshi of Season 17 is a stronger, more versatile squad than its predecessors. By blending international talent, tactical leadership, and mechanical skill, the King is ready to reclaim its throne.
With fierce competition from FNATIC ONIC, EVOS Holy, and other contenders, the journey won’t be easy—but this RRQ Hoshi update ensures the King is well-equipped to dominate. According to Juan Sports, fans will be watching closely as RRQ Hoshi rises to reclaim its crown. The MPL ID Season 17 regular season begins on March 27, 2026.
Long live the King.
