RRQ Hoshi Skylar AMA with ONE Esports about MLBB, how to get a girlfriend, and more
Do you like Pineapple on pizza?
I don’t like it, it’s not my thing.
How do you motivate yourself before a match?
I always respect my opponents and never underestimate anyone.
Who’s the best karaoke singer in RRQ?
Muhammad “Lemon” Ikhsan.
What’s your favorite foreign food?
I have a simple taste, so nothing too fancy—probably steak.
Which Marksman is the most fun to play?
Layla, I just enjoy playing her.
What’s the weirdest gold lane hero you’ve ever tried?
It doesn’t have to be an MM, right? I once played Kagura in the gold lane. It was kind of weird, but the laning phase was okay. In team fights, though, she’s more about picking off enemies.
What’s the secret to getting a beautiful girlfriend?
Honestly, there’s no secret—just tried my best and it worked out.
What’s your favorite MLBB skin?
Beatrix Prime is my top skin.
Who’s the most surprising opponent you’ve faced?
MSC 2022, Emann. We had scrimmed before, but in the tournament, his gameplay was totally different.
What’s in your perfume collection?
I have three: YSL Y, Dior Sauvage, and the last one for home or in the gaming house—Axe, the one you can find in convenience stores.
Who’s the best Gold Laner of all time?
Right now, I’d say Kelra. His gameplay is unique, and his movements are smart.
What’s your plan after being a pro player?
If I’m fortunate enough, I’ll open a business. If my streaming goes well, I’ll become a streamer.

Which Gold Lane hero is underrated but has potential?
Layla, Miya, Hanabi, Irithel, Melissa, Ixia. People underestimate them, but they’re OP in the late game.
Favorite song during practice or ranked games?
Mockingbird.
What’s the biggest lesson in your career?
To become more mature and indirectly become a team leader.
What’s your favorite team fight or gameplay moment of all time?
Claude versus Aura in Season 12. Banana died, Ferxicc missed his Retribution, and Van secured the lord. I don’t know what possessed me at the time, but I teleported with BMI, used my ultimate, and created a moment I didn’t expect. Maybe it was just instinct.
What’s the most expensive item you’ve bought as a pro player?
A car, (we believe it’s a Honda Civic Type R). The modifications were quite expensive—just a young guy thing.
How does it feel to play for RRQ?
RRQ has given me nothing but the best. No complaints.
How do you deal with the pressure of playing for RRQ?
Never get complacent, always chase your dreams.
Who are your mentors and role models?
First, Mas Eko. Oura was my idol. He was great at playing assassins, super cool, and had incredible mechanics. I saw him play with four fingers, and it was amazing.
Second, Bang Xinn. He’s my motivator, always sharing experiences and giving advice.

What was your favorite candy as a kid?
Not sure about the brand, but it was the candy that popped in your mouth, with a metal-like logo.
Before becoming an MLBB player, what was your dream job?
Football player, but after seeing my friends play games every day, I joined them in playing Mobile Legends.
What’s your favorite Indonesian dish?
Cakalang!
Which player do you rank with the most?
High (ex-Liquid ID)
What’s your preparation before the season starts?
Mostly scrimming and preparing mentally for the competition.
Which patch change did you dislike the most?
When the meta shifted to assassins, a lot of (goldlane) heroes became irrelevant because they were easy to pick off. Now they’re still playable, but the playstyle has changed.
What’s the most difficult MLBB mechanic to master?
I used to play Claude recklessly, just skill two and ultimate. But after watching others, I learned there’s a time for poking too.
What separates a standard Gold Laner from an elite one?
I don’t see much of a difference—I treat them the same.
Which MLBB hero would you delete?
Fanny, that hero is broken!
Which old meta do you want to bring back?
I actually like the current assassin meta.
What was the first MLBB hero you played?
Sun. Back then, it was a two-fighter meta. I played in the top lane and liked how he could summon clones, making it hard for enemies to tell which one was the real hero.
What’s your favorite pair of shoes?
Nike, the ones I wear in the MPL. I forget the name, but they reveal your name when peeled off. It’s similar to what Kairi, Sanz, and Albert wear—Nike Force 1 or something.
What did you do after winning Season 9?
It was my first tittle, and my teammates were all stars. We celebrated in Bali, and the camaraderie was the most memorable part for me.
