From 2013 to 2017, RRQ had only one division team, which was Dota 2.

However, during the eve of the ninth season of MPL Indonesia, RRQ announced their expansion to MPL Brazil, to form RRQ Akira. The roster mainly comprised most of the players of Keyd Stars. [11] RRQ Akira disbanded at the end of the 2024 season after their jouney ended in wildcard round of M6 World Championship.
