The Honor of Kings Invitational Series 2 champions have been announced
LGDC Gaming Malaysia have taken home the gold and the lion's share of a prize pool
Honor of Kings will also see a new Southeast Asia Championship inaugurated soon
The Honor of Kings Invitational Series 2 champions have been crowned, as LGD Gaming Malaysia beat all comers in the hit MOBA to take home the gold. But that's not all, because there's big news ahead for Honor of King's esports scene in the wake of the global release.
The big news, of course, is that LGD Gaming Malaysia were the winner in the Honor of Kings Invitational tournament. They defeated Team Secret in the grand finals and took home the lion's share of a $300,000 prize pool.
This achievement also means that LGD will compete in the Honor of Kings Invitational Midseason tournament at the Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia in August. They will contend with 12 other international teams for the opportunity to win more prestige and prize money.
Larger and better
But as noted earlier, Honor of Kings will launch a new Southeast Asia Championship to expand its esports scene. Honor of Kings has been immensely popular in China, and its global launch indicates significant ambitions to dominate competitive gaming.
After Riot Games retreated from the competitive scene in the APAC and SEA regions last year, it may indeed be that Honor of Kings has room to become the game for esports athletes in these areas.
