The draw for the Honor of Kings Challenger Cup will be held on November 23.

With the 2025 KPL season approaching, the draw ceremony for the Honor of Kings Challenger Cup is scheduled for November 23rd at 18:20. This draw will determine the matchups for both the single-elimination and double-elimination tournaments, and reveal the course of the matches for each top team. The official tournament organizers will invite renowned commentators and team guests to participate throughout the process to ensure its openness and fairness.  

The draw ceremony boasted a star-studded lineup of hosts and guests, with Luo Siyuan and commentator Ma Yingkai serving as hosts, and Fan Tianyi, Yu Chaojie, and Liu Ning anchoring the commentary panel. Furthermore, the online guest lineup was equally impressive, including Liu Tianhao, Guo Jiayi, Chen Tianci, and Lin Hang, providing viewers with comprehensive match analysis and an interactive experience.  

In the single-elimination stage, the tournament rules clearly stipulate the seeding of teams. Chengdu AG Super Play, the 2025 World Championship winner and runner-up, and Chongqing Wolves' Honor of Kings division secured the first and second seeds respectively. Beijing WB's Honor of Kings division, as the runner-up in the Summer Split, became the fourth seed. Since AG Super Play also won the Summer Split championship, the third seed spot is vacant. The remaining 29 participating teams will be matched up through a random draw, without any division into time zones, to ensure fairness and increase the entertainment value and competitiveness of the matches.  

After the single-elimination tournament, the advancing teams will enter the double-elimination stage. The draw for this stage also follows the principles of openness and transparency. The eight advancing teams will be randomly drawn to determine the four match-up order. The draw guests will draw the match-up numbers in alphabetical order according to the first letter of the team's name until all match-ups are completed. The introduction of the double-elimination stage not only enhances the entertainment value of the competition but also provides teams with more opportunities to showcase their strength and adjust their strategies, increasing the unpredictability and suspense of the matches.  

As the draw ceremony for the Honor of Kings Challenger Cup approaches, audience attention continues to rise. The official tournament organizers remind players and fans to watch the draw on November 23rd and witness the fate of each team. As one of the key tournaments in the KPL (King Pro League), the Challenger Cup, with its slogan "Challengers, All Kings," has attracted the attention of many esports enthusiasts and is sure to bring more exciting matches to the Honor of Kings stage.
