Honor of Kings regional leagues / KWC
Honor of Kings is not Arena of Valor, even though KWC at EWC 2026 put both titles’ teams on one international stage. China runs through KPL — a closed professional league, not ranked-to-pro. International 2026 used regional Kings Leagues (for example PKL, MKL, IKL, KML, CHOKBR) and some dedicated open quals (for example King’s Arise India). Those leagues are the player-facing route where they publish opens; KWC/KPL pages are not amateur signup.

Before you start
- Play Honor of Kings, not Arena of Valor, unless you are entering an AoV league.

- China vs international ecosystems are different on purpose.
