One era ends, but a legacy remains forever. Today, with heavy hearts and immense gratitude, we officially announce the retirement of Muhammad “Rhapsody” Rifky from the professional PUBG Mobile scene.

For those who have followed the HungryBeast journey, Rhapsody isn’t just a name on a roster he has been the tactical heartbeat of our team. Since joining us in September 2022, he transitioned from a brilliant analyst to a worldclass coach, guiding our boys through the highest peaks of competitive play.

Rhapsody’s journey with BOOM Esports has been nothing short of spectacular. Under his guidance, we didn’t just compete; we dominated. Looking back at the achievements he helped us secure, the numbers speak for themselves:

• PMPL Indonesia Spring 2023: 1st Place (Champion)

• PMSL SEA Spring 2024: 1st Place (Champion)

• PMSL SEA Summer 2024: 1st Place (Champion)

• PUBG Mobile World Cup 2024: 5th Place (S-Tier)

His ability to read the circle, manage rotations, and keep the mental fortitude of the team intact during high-pressure S-Tier tournaments set a new standard for coaches in the Indonesian region. He leaves behind a trophy cabinet that many can only dream of and a culture of winning that will stay rooted in our DNA.

The End of an Era

Rhapsody has decided to hang up his headset and step away from the coaching chair. While we are sad to see him go, we fully support his decision to enter a new chapter of his life. He isn’t just leaving as a coach; he is leaving as a brother and a champion who helped put BOOM Esports at the top of Southeast Asia.

“Satu era selesai. Satu nama dikenang selamanya. Rhapsody.”

To Rifky: Thank you for the sleepless nights, the relentless VOD reviews, and the passion you poured into every match. You will always be part of the Hungry Beast family.

The question on everyone’s mind is: Who will lead the pack now?

Filling the shoes of a back-to-back PMSL champion is no easy task. The captain of our ship is changing, and a new era is already looming on the horizon. We’ve been working behind the scenes to ensure that the momentum Rhapsody built doesn’t slow down for a single second.

The transition has already begun, and the person stepping into the spotlight is someone who knows our rhythm better than anyone else. Stay tuned. The next chapter of BOOM PUBG Mobile will be revealed sooner than you think.
