Calling together the best teams from around the world, from Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Cambodia), East Asia (Hong Kong), Myanmar, South Korea, Japan, the Middle East (MENA), Europe, Latin America (LATAM), and North America (NA), all will compete to prove who is the best Honor of Kings (HOK) team in the world, and beyond.
