    AFTER FINISHING 4th in the overall standings in MPL Indonesia Season 11, RRQ Hoshi published a video, revealing Coach Michael Angelo "Arcadia" Bocado's farewell message.

    During the season, Coach Arcadia was revealed to be taking a break, only for him to eventually part ways with the team during the offseason.

    In the video he acknowledged everyone who made his journey memorable.

    "I would like to thank everyone who has been a part of my journey during my time with RRQ. To my team Alberttt, VYN, Lemon, Skylar, Clayyy, RENBO, Banana, Fiel, Xoxo and Bram, I already said my messages to each of you, so never forget this," said Coach Arcadia.

    He added: "And I just want to say, I'll miss our bonding moments, our movie and karaoke nights, also I will never forget the happy memories that we had on our Thailand break."

    He also expressed his gratitude to the heads of RRQ who gave him the opportunity to shine. Yet inspite of their efforts, RRQ failed to garner any championship under Coach Arcadia.

    With Coach Arcadia on their side, The Kingdom finished 3rd in the M4 World Championship and a runner up finish in MPL Indonesia Season 10.

    "To our bosses, Sir Calvin, Pak AP, and Pak Boss (Riki), thank you for your trust in me and believing in my capabilities. I know that we could've achieved better together but sometimes life just happens, but it has been a great honor, working with you all."
