Tencent expands its wings to the realm of MOBA esports

After the success of PUBG Mobile, which has now entered season 11, it seems that Tencent wants to expand its wings in the realm of MOBA esports. To expand the esports development for their MOBA title, Honor of Kings, Tencent plans to change the esports game ecosystem.

In China, Tencent has confirmed that six Honor of Kings teams will be setting up their residences in highly connected cities.

The locations selected were Chengdu, Shanghai, Wuhan, Nanjing, Chongqing and Guangzhou. This location was chosen because it remembers the development of next-generation infrastructure that will be conducive to the growth of esports in that location.

Tencent’s main focus is for the Honor of Kings game

In Tencent’s efforts to develop its Honor of Kings game. There are several main focuses that must be addressed in building this game. Honor of Kings will focus on three important areas:

• Accelerate the growth of a professional team
• Local development, as well
• International expansion

“We want to take Honor of Kings to the next level,”

Said Yijia Zhang, Chairman, King Pro League (KPL).

In addition, to grow the professional league, Tencent opened six new places in the semi-pro KPL G-League (KGL) that can compete with amateur teams. This new structure ensures more players can join KPL.

The overseas division for Honor of Kings pro tournament, Korea King Pro League, will be changed and changed to King Pro League Global Tour. This makes the tournament a global platform that will certainly continue to grow.

What is the Difference Between Honor of Kings and Arena of Valor

AOV and HoK

Behind the success of Arena of Valor, it turns out that this game has a long history. And of course all of you will be wondering why this game has a different name in each country?

It turned out that Tencent was the party publisher who comes from China, first launched this game with the name Honor Of King or Kings Of Glory.

This game is deliberately released with a different server for each region, so there will be no Global server for this game from Tencent. Each region that has this game is released under a different name. Even so, this game still has the same gameplay, character design.

Follow in the Footsteps of Success in the Moba Game

The Arena of Valor game was created for the first time because it was inspired by the League of Legends released by Riot Games, which is a subsidiary of Tencent. The LoL game that was released for PC devices is arguably very successful and has made huge profits in various countries.

Seeing the success that LoL has obtained, therefore Tencent tries to release a similar game but specifically for mobile devices. By carrying the name Honor Of King or Kings Of Glory in the Chinese version in November 2021, then released for several countries with different names.

Meanwhile, Honor of Kings is arguably the first game that became the forerunner of Arena Of Valor as it is today. This game is the first moba game made by Tencent in China published by Garena.

What’s different from HoK with other versions is that you need to create an account at TencentQQ or use Wechat to log into this game. You cannot use the TencenQQ account itself to log into the AoV game versions of other countries.

It’s interesting to see what surprises will be presented by Tencent, which has now continued to grow to become one of the most famous gaming companies.
