With summer now becoming a more present time in our minds, it’s little surprise that the road to Riyadh for the top series appearing at the Esports World Cup is now set out. The latest to kick off the competition is Honor of Kings, as the first of their Regional Leagues begin today!
Seven regional leagues, taking place everywhere from the Philippines to Brazil and beyond, will see teams competing to be crowned the best of their region. And, of course, competing to get a coveted spot in the lineup for the Honor of Kings World Cup taking place later this year in Riyadh.
The KWC itself will see 18 teams battling it out amongst themselves for the top spot. For the first time ever the qualifying teams from the Regional League will face off with champions of the KPL Spring season too, promising even more hardcore esports action.
