Arena of Valor and Honor of Kings are teaming up for esports next year, Digital News

Arena of Valor and Honor of Kings Join Forces in Esports!

Hey fellow gamers, this is the 2022 season of teamwork you can’t miss. The two titans — Arena of Valor (AOV) and Honor of Kings — are teaming up to crank up the competitive spirit. Their first joint venture is the Arena of Valor World Cup 2022. If you love both franchises, buckle up; the worlds are about to collide in a bouncy, action-packed mash‑up.

Prize Money That Will Make Your Wallet Cry

Although the AWC 2022 prize pool hasn’t been locked in yet, folks sound the alarms — we’re looking at a figure that tops US$8 million. That’s a big score, eclipsing any previous worldwide tournament that AOV or Honor of Kings has hosted. The stakes are sky‑high, so watch the buzzaround of teams pushing for a slice of that dough.

Got Fans Across the Globe? Great.

The tournament is rolling out 16 group‑stage slots (just like last year), but now there’s a wider net for qualification:

  • Winning Arena of Valor Pro League teams get a guaranteed spot.
  • The Arena of Glory champions also secure their place.
  • Garena Challenger Series champions are on the list too.
  • And each of these leagues confirms at least one seed for AWC 2022.

From Asia and South America to North America, the Middle East, and even some sleepy European corners, you’ll see a diverse crowd rallying for glory.

New Cross‑Game Mode: The Bridge.

To get the title vibes on even footing, a fresh esports mode is coming that lets both sides share “common heroes.” Think of it as a training ground for strategies and surprise combos. Gearing up before the do‑the‑thing showdown is totally worth the excitement.

Why Be Patient? Wait Until AOV IntC 2021.

If you’re hitting the back of the queue, the good folks at Arena of Valor have already lined up the International Championship 2021, set to roll out later in the year. So the hype is already on fire — and you can get your head to the event.
