Honor of Kings announced their roadmap for Indonesia’s esports scene with 2 million USD already prepared for the planned launch.
Level Infinite announced their roadmap for the Honor of Kings Indonesia esports scene. The announcement revealed their plan regarding esports’ connectivity from the grassroots to the professional level of Honor of Kings. It also outlined how the Indonesian representatives in Honor of Kings Invitational Championship (KIC) will be selected.
The ecosystem structure will be divided into Grassroots, Semi-pro, and Professional. The three-category structure will be the vessel for HOK’s esports ecosystem, which tackles all levels of players for its competitive side. For the success of this structure, Agung Chaniago, Indonesia Country Manager of Level Infinite has prepared approximately $2.000.000.
The Grassroots level will include the HOK Campus Championship, targeting collegiate-level students and the HOK Indonesia Open Series, open to amateurs. The Open Series will also serve as a gateway to the KIC’s Indonesia Qualifier as two of the best teams from the series will advance to the qualifier.
For the semi-professional scene, Honor of Kings prepared the HOK City Tournaments, or the KCC, to give teams in the region a taste of what the highest tier of competition would taste like. The KCC will also send two of their best teams to the KIC’s Indonesia Qualifier.
The highest tier of the Honor of Kings esports ecosystem is the Professional level – where the best team in Indonesia will compete in the KIC’s Indonesia Qualifier. This league format is projected to start in the August to September 2024 period.
The KIC, the highest tier of competition in Honor of Kings, will invite teams from around the world to fight for the honour to become the best. However, teams from China will adapt to the patch implemented on the global server if they wish to be involved.
Like every esports title, Honor of Kings will host a national league for the regions. It is expected that the league will commence in 2025. Agung Chaniago revealed that they will use a partnership system to invite the biggest organizations to participate in the upcoming league.
