Tencent's flagship MOBA, Honor of Kings, is gearing up to become an esports juggernaut with a groundbreaking invitational tournament. The event, boasting a massive $3 million prize pool, is set to take place at the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The KPL Dream Team from China's top-tier King Pro League has been confirmed as the first of twelve teams to compete.

In a strategic move to amplify the game's global presence, Tencent is also releasing an exclusive in-game skin for fans in conjunction with the Esports World Cup. This invitational is part of Tencent's ambitious plan, backed by a $15 million investment, to expand Honor of Kings' esports footprint.

Despite its massive popularity in China, Honor of Kings has largely remained within its domestic market until a recent launch in Brazil. With this invitational, Tencent is positioning Honor of Kings to take the global esports stage by storm, potentially challenging established MOBA titans like League of Legends and Dota.

As the esports community eagerly anticipates the event, players worldwide can prepare by familiarizing themselves with the game's character tier list. The 2024 Esports World Cup could mark a pivotal moment for Honor of Kings as it seeks to captivate a global audience.
