RoV Pro League 2026 Winter Marks 10th Anniversary, Crowns Champions
The RoV Pro League 2026 Winter concluded its 10th-anniversary celebration with Buriram United Esports winning their fourth championship after defeating Full Sense 4-2 in the Grand Finals. The three-day event at Impact Muang Thong Thani featured a 360-degree stage, cosplay, and a T-POP idol tournament, while eArena completed a clean sweep of the women's division. Organizers and ambassadors highlighted the game's role in growing Thai esports and promised even bigger events next year.
RoV, the mobile MOBA that has anchored Thailand's esports scene for years, just staged its national championship 'RoV Pro League 2026 Winter' to celebrate the game's 10th anniversary in grand fashion.
This year marked the first time the RoV Pro League expanded its finals from two days to three full days, choosing Impact Exhibition Hall 11-12 in Muang Thong Thani as the venue. Beyond switching to a 360-degree stage, the organizers recreated scenes from the game for photo opportunities with cosplayers who looked like they stepped out of the RoV world, alongside numerous activities.
The opening ceremony was equally spectacular, headlined by a special performance from JMNK before closing with the song 'Timeless Glory,' which then served as the entrance music for athletes heading into the Grand Finals arena.
In the main tournament, the championship title went to Buriram United Esports, who defeated Full Sense 4-2 in the Grand Finals to take home 6 million baht. The victory marks their second consecutive season title and fourth overall championship.
Meanwhile, in the women's Miss RoV Tournament 2026 Season 2 — which drew 640 teams nationwide — the crown remained with the female squad eArena, who beat Hydra 4-2 in the Grand Finals. This completes a clean sweep of all three 2026 trophies for the team, following their Season 1 victory and the international APL 2026 championship.
Beyond the core men's and women's esports tournaments, RoV added entertainment-focused competitions this year: the RoV T-POP Tournament 2026 featuring 20 idols from eight popular groups including BUS, PROXIE, PERSES, ATLAS, DICE, VVV, DEXX, and 9214 Kids, as well as the RoV Abyssal All Stars tournament showcasing famous Thai creators from various fields.
RoV also honored long-time players who have been with the game since Season 1. Pharat 'Difoxn' Phithak received the special RoV Player of the Decade award, recognizing his journey through every era from Season 1 to the current Season 18.
Kritngae, Krisada Pimlue, the game's first Ambassador of Valor, shared his thoughts on the 10th-anniversary event: 'RoV has been with Thai people for a long time and has always received great response. Especially this 10th-year event — there are so many people, so many activities. Thank you RoV for giving Thai people fun for so long. Year 10 was organized this well; Year 11 will surely be even better.'
Frozenkiss, Thayika Suwankankul, brand ambassador for the Miss RoV Tournament, said: 'Thank you RoV for being the starting point that made me known in the gaming industry, the starting point that made a girl who wanted to be an esports athlete become real. Most importantly, this year you organized a tournament for women too — that's a very good thing. Thank you for seeing the importance of both female and male athletes. Next year I hope there will be more tournaments for women to showcase their abilities.'
RPL 2026 Winter stands as another testament that over the past 10 years RoV has not only been a popular mobile game in Thailand but also a crucial gear driving the continuous growth of Thai esports.
