As hurtful as the news of Captain leaving the team might be for the RSG fanbase, management assured some new investments are coming in to improve the franchise’s future, which may make the fans jubilant.

RSG promised to invest $500,000 over the next few years to enhance their scouting and development of the stars of tomorrow.

The esports organization has also announced that they will launch the RSG Cup Series, a collection of hyper-localized Mobile Legends Bang Bang tournaments across Southeast Asia. These tournaments will provide the next-generation stars with a proving ground and enhance the franchise’s scouting operations.

Jayf Son, CEO and Founder of the franchise, said:

“The RSG Cup Series is a testament to our commitment to scouting and developing the best gaming talent. Over the last few years, we have refined our player development process to field highly competitive, quality teams across Southeast Asia."

He further stated:

"We are now eager to further scale up and welcome partners who share our vision of empowering players and replicating this success with the next generation of gaming talent." He added.

Daniel Chew, the head of MPL Singapore, also welcomed the new competition. In his words:

“The RSG Cup is also a fantastic addition to the MLBB Esports ecosystem in Southeast Asia, and these tournaments will expose young and budding talents to more professional opportunities that locals here, can leverage towards their goals of going international. We thoroughly support these endeavours, and look forward to RSG continuing to pave the way for esports in Singapore.”

Overall, if successful, RSG’s new plans to push its young talents forward can bring a revolution to the esports scene in Singapore. However, it may take some time for the youngsters to prepare for the biggest stages; thus, RSG might be entering a transition phase right now, and the system will need time to produce results.
