Sha “ZesBeeW” Mohtar makes his return to the MY/SG region, now leading a new roster of Rival Esports.
SINGAPORE – Rival Esports, widely known for its Brawl Stars roster, has officially entered the VALORANT scene with a team featuring familiar names from Singapore. The most noteworthy of the five names are Sha “ZesBeeW” Mohtar and Steven “Reverie” Kang.
ZesBeeW comes fresh off a successful run with BOOM Esports, where he helped the Indonesian team clinch the VALORANT Challengers Indonesia Split 2 title and make it to the grand finals of VCT Ascension Pacific Jakarta, narrowly losing in a dramatic and hard-fought match. It has also been confirmed that the 25-year-old will take on the role of in-game leader for this new project.
Reverie, along with other teammates, has had his fair share of experiences in the scene playing with a number of different stacks. Reverie previously had stints with Louvre in 2023 and Kizuna Esports in 2024, while Venneth “Inf” Tay competed with The Mongs in 2023 and Ninjas in Galaxy alongside duelist Muhammad “persona11” Khairulrizal in 2024.
