King of Glory esports betting

King of Glory is a popular mobile multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) published by TenCent, and it is also known by various other titles, such as Honor of Kings and Wangzhe Rongyao. With millions of eager fans all across the world, and especially in China, Honor of Kings is one of the most played esports. The fact that it bears a lot of parallels with League of Legends is perhaps what made it possible for the game to experience wild success, after its release. Taking an already successful concept and redesigning it with mobile users in mind is nothing short of ingenious. What followed the publication of King of Glory in 2015, was a super insane success which had never been witnessed before in the mobile gaming world. As we speak, the truth of the matter is, that the game’s success has already edged out its forerunner. Don’t forget that King of Glory has not been released to every player yet. It is only in China, where it is mostly played at the moment.

Rules and Objectives of the Game

Like League of Legends, King of Glory is played on a map, which is diagonally divided into two halves. A match involves two teams, with each team spawning on one of the halves. Each side is required to protect its Nexus, and there are several Towers which a team can use to meet this objective. Each team comprises of five players, and each player in the team has the responsibility of controlling a different Hero. The Heroes of each team are selected fairly using a draft, where the teams alternate in picking their Heroes.

Once the draft has been done, the heroes are required to travel the map of the game, to kill the enemy and neutral characters, and to destroy the Nexus of the opponents. However, the teams are required to collect experience and gold, even before they can think of destroying the Nexus.

King of Glory Events to Look Out For

Having been released only recently, not to mention the fact that it is still restricted to China, Honor of Kings is yet to develop a competitive scene globally. However, the game already boasts a few major tournaments, which are hosted in China. These tournaments come with impressive prizes, and they attract big audiences.

King Pro League

This was launched in 2016 and is undoubtedly the biggest King of Glory tournament. Each season lasts for months, with a total of 12 teams battling it out for the crown. With approximately $250000 to be won in prizes, King Pro League is the most prestigious of the King of Glory tournaments.

King Champion Cup

Inaugurated in 2017, this tournament is the second most popular and valuable King of Glory tournament. The competition lasts for about one month and consists of 16 teams. While it is not as big as its elder sister, it attracts a massive audience, with millions of viewers tuning in to watch.

Where to Bet on King of Glory

With the King of Glory’s popularity on the rise, a lot of bookmakers have been taking wagers on the game, whenever there has been a tournament. However, some bookmakers provide a better betting experience than others. Some of the top sites which take bets on King of Glory include Betway, Arcanebet, X-Bet, GGBet, and Bethard.
