Honor of Kings’ esports kicks up a notch with Nova crowned winners and new team from OG

  • Honor of Kings has made major waves in esports today as team Nova are crowned champs
  • The team took home the gold at the Honor of Kings Invitational season three
  • Meanwhile, longstanding MOBA champs OG have announced the formation of their own HoK team

Among all esports genres, Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) could arguably wear the title of the “King.” Originating as a mod for Warcraft, this gameplay blend of real-time strategy and action RPG has spawned numerous variations. However, it’s worth noting that League of Legends currently holds the throne in this category; yet, it faces significant competition from Honor of Kings, developed by Tencent.

Today’s news brings not just one, but two exciting headlines about the world of esports! Firstly, Nova Esports has emerged triumphant as champions in the third season of the Honor of Kings Invitational. Secondly, OG Esports, well-known for their prowess in MOBAs, have declared their intention to field a team for upcoming Honor of Kings esports competitions.

A significant victory benefits not only the participants but also Honor of Kings. Attracting elite players is one of the main challenges in creating an unrivaled esports community, and Tencent’s MOBA effortlessly overcomes this obstacle.


Above and beyond

It’s not difficult to understand why this happens, given that Honor of Kings has a fanbase as passionate as League of Legends (and surpassing many others) in its home country of China. Esports is just an additional delight for these dedicated fans, offering them a fresh way to engage with their preferred Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA).

The query revolves around the possibility of Honor of Kings matching the cultural influence of League of Legends. Although it has been featured in the latest Amazon anthology, Secret Level, Honor of Kings has not yet created a significant narrative impact comparable to that of Arcane.

It’s uncertain if it will change, but one thing is certain: In the realm of esports, Honor of Kings has become the stage for the absolute best competitors to showcase their skills.
