LIMA, PERU — RRQ Akira are the champions of LIGA LATAM, a regional tournament, winning the lion’s share of a combined prize pool of $50,000. Emerging victorious in a 4-1 (best-of-five series) with Malvinas Gaming, RRQ Akira proved their dominance in the competition through well-timed positionals and team fights; finishing the regional mission that their Southeast Asian counterparts could not fulfill. The team is composed of former members from Keyd Stars, that were acquired during MPL Brazil Season 2 and who subsequently won the championship title.

Held between June 13-19, the second edition of LIGA LATAM went offline for the first time at Centro de Convenciones de Lima and brought together eight regional Mobile Legends: Bang Bang squads across Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, and Mexico – as one region, to compete for the title. The tournament saw over 350 audiences cheering for their favorites in person, with a new peak-concurrent viewership record of 30,494 spectators, according to Esports Charts.
