RRQ Hoshi draws 2M peak viewers despite 0-7 start

Rex Regum Qeon Hoshi drew more than 2 million concurrent viewers during a Week 4 match series against Bigetron by Vitality in MPL Indonesia Season 17. The season began March 27; RRQ entered the week with a 0-7 record.

In the best-of-three series, RRQ won the opening game in 15 minutes. Viewership rose across the broadcast and peaked at over 2,000,000 concurrent viewers during the second game. Bigetron won the second match after about 25 minutes and won the deciding game to take the series 2-1.

RRQ’s other Week 4 match, against EVOS, reached a peak of 1.78 million concurrent viewers.

As of Week 4, all five of the season’s top-viewed matches included RRQ Hoshi. Average viewership figures put RRQ near the top of the league with about 1,000,000 average viewers, roughly 180,000 higher than the next-most popular team, ONIC Esports.

RRQ’s current run of losses began after an uncharacteristic seventh-place finish in MPL Indonesia Season 16. The organization made roster changes ahead of 2026, but the team had not recorded a win by the season midpoint.

Organizers and broadcasters recorded some of Season 17’s highest concurrent counts during matches involving RRQ. The team remained a frequent feature in high-attendance broadcasts as the season continued.
