NURJATINEWS.COM – KARAWANG, January 12, 2026 – Perantau Kopi is solidifying its position as a creative space for the younger generation in Karawang. This was evident in the success of the “Perantau MLBB 2026 Tournament” esports competition held on January 10-11, 2026, at Bubulak Jatibaru, Tanjungpura, Karawang.
Behind the excitement of 21 competing teams and the victory of Travail E-Sport as champions, lies a profound intellectual mission. For the organizers, this tournament is a real manifestation of the philosophy behind the name “Perantau” – a dialectic between taking a “Role” and giving “Knowledge”.
Philosophy of Perantau: Taking a “Role” to Give “Knowledge”
Dino Robika Patardo, Owner of Perantau Kopi and Chair of the Organizing Committee, explained the deep meaning behind the identity of the place. He stated that “Perantau” is not just a geographical label, but a method of community movement that combines action and education.
“The philosophy is rooted in two words: ‘Peran’ (Role) and ‘Tau’ (Knowledge). The correlation is fundamental. We must dare to take a real ‘Role’ first – as facilitators, movers, and responsible parties – so that we have the legitimacy to give ‘Tau’ or knowledge to the community,” said Dino.
In the context of this tournament, Perantau Kopi took a “Role” by providing a worthy competition platform. Through this role, they inserted “Tau” – a process of transferring knowledge about sportsmanship, team strategy, emotional management, and professional competition standards.
“Without real action (‘Peran’), education (‘Tau’) will only be a discourse. We are here to take this role so that the youth of Karawang ‘Tau’ and understand that esports is not just playing games, but about discipline and athlete mentality,” emphasized Dino.
Synergy in Building Character
This vision, which combines social action and education, received full appreciation from the corporate sector. CV. Sinergi Rizki Abadi, the main sponsor, considered Perantau Kopi’s steps strategic in building human resources.
Rizki Soelaiman, S.Ikom, Director of CV. Sinergi Rizki Abadi, expressed his pride in supporting an event with such a strong philosophical value. “I appreciate Perantau Kopi for translating their vision into real action. Our support is given because Perantau Kopi is doing its job right; they take a ‘Role’ to embrace the youth and give ‘Tau’ or positive insights to them. This is a character investment. Congratulations to the winners, may the knowledge gained here be a provision for higher achievements,” said Rizki.
Long-term Vision: Esports Knowledge Incubator
Based on this philosophy, Perantau Kopi is looking to the future with a big vision. Dino plans to establish Perantau Kopi as an Incubator and Esports Knowledge Hub in Karawang. The long-term plan includes forming a structured regular league and coaching clinics.
“We want this place to be a crucible. Through our consistent ‘Role’ in facilitating leagues, we hope to produce talents who ‘Tau’ techniques, ‘Tau’ ethics, and ‘Tau’ how to be true champions,” concluded Dino optimistically.
With the success of this event, Perantau Kopi has set a new standard, proving that a coffee shop can transform into a laboratory for developing youth potential in a serious and directed manner.
