"King of Glory" ACL International Tournament kicks off, champion advances to eSports World Cup

The international event of "Honor of Kings" is coming. The Hero AFC Champions League ACL x Honor of Kings (Honor of Kings, HOK) event hosted by Hero Esports was officially announced recently.

This event is not only one of the largest and most competitive "Honor of Kings" international competitions in Asia, but also a key qualifying channel to the 2025 Esports World Cup, attracting widespread attention.

The total prize pool of this ACL event is as high as 200,000 US dollars, attracting eight strong teams from KPL (King of Glory Professional League) to participate, including DYG, Beijing JDG and other well-known top teams. The event will officially kick off on May 5, and the champion team will win a direct ticket to the 2025 E-sports World Cup.

As one of the world's top e-sports events, the E-Sports World Cup will be held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia this summer. "Honor of Kings" is officially listed as one of the core competition events, and the total prize money of the event is as high as 3 million US dollars. At that time, the world's 18 strongest teams will gather together to fight for the top of the world of Honor of Kings.

According to the official competition rules, except for the 2025 KPL Spring Championship champion who can directly enter the Esports World Cup, other KPL teams must compete for the only direct qualification in the upcoming ACL event if they want to enter the Esports World Cup.

Strong teams are gathering, and the competition for qualification is about to begin. I believe that the ACL King of Glory event not only reflects the competitive level of the top Asian teams, but also carries the expectations and responsibility of leading to the world stage. Who will eventually stand out and get the precious qualification to go directly to the E-sports World Cup is worth waiting for.
