RRQ Shira: Female MLBB Roster Competes in North America

RRQ has launched its first all‑female Mobile Legends: Bang Bang roster, branded “Shira,” to compete in the North American MPL circuit with the objective of qualifying for the 2026 Mobile Legends World Championship (EWC 2026). The squad features prominent players such as Jey “RYLAI” Enriquez and Nicole “Nicholette” Huang, both finalists of the 2025 Mobile Legends Women’s Invitational (MWI). By assembling a roster that has already proven competitive on the international stage, RRQ positions Shira as a serious contender for the upcoming global event.

The initiative represents a strategic effort by RRQ to broaden diversity within its esports portfolio. Historically known for driving high‑viewership matches in the men’s MLBB scene, RRQ now seeks to replicate that success with a female‑focused team. The move is expected to attract significant audience interest, potentially setting new viewership records if the roster advances to the 2026 championship. Moreover, Shira’s participation alongside other North American teams such as Gaimin Gladiators and RRQ Tora underscores the growing competitiveness of women’s Mobile Legends in the region.

Geographically, the focus remains on North America, with Shira competing in MPL North America and other regional qualifiers. The time frame spans the 2025–2026 competitive season, culminating in the EWC 2026. By aligning with major international tournaments and leveraging high‑profile talent, RRQ aims to elevate the visibility of women’s esports while reinforcing its brand presence across the North American market.
