MANILA, Philippines, March 21, 2024 – Grassroots esports communities globally are poised to thrive as Tencent sets the stage for the launch of the highly-anticipated Honor of Kings. Following the successful conclusion of the inaugural Honor of Kings Invitational in Turkey, the spotlight now shifts to local competitions with the unveiling of the Honor of Kings Open Series. With the registration phase scheduled for April 15th, the Honor of Kings Open Series invites players, including those from the Philippines, to vie for glory.

Elevating the stakes even higher, the top performers from the Honor of Kings Invitational Season 2 will earn a slot in the prestigious $3 million MidSeason Invitational (an estimated Php168 million prize pool, one of the largest in global esports history). This grand event, integral to the Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia, affirms the game’s unwavering commitment to fostering a thriving esports ecosystem on a global scale.
Honor of Kings has pledged a monumental $15 million investment into the global esports arena for the year 2024 alone.
