There is only one game left in the 2021 KPL Fall Tournament, which is the final on Christmas Day, against Wuhan eStarPro and Guangzhou TTG. According to the tournament system of the glory of kings, the World Championship is the highest standard and the most prize money competition every year. This year, the Chongqing Wolves won the World Championship, and the total prize money was more than the sum of the remaining three competitions. However, everyone should have heard that next year's World Championship will be fully upgraded, and the international version of the glory of the king will be integrated, and the fusion plan of next year's world championship was also announced at the scene of the AIC finals, not only the event system of the glory of the king has changed, but the international version of the glory of the king is the same.
Overseas divisions continue to expand
Next year, the International Edition of King of Glory will continue to carry out university leagues and city competitions, covering all regions of the world, including the Americas, Southeast Asia, Europe and so on. King Glory International Edition As the international version of King Glory, the audience in the world is still relatively wide, of which Southeast Asia is the most obvious, and next year's promotion is also to further expand the influence of King Glory International Edition and strive to open the market outside Asia.
The 2022 AIC prize money is the highest on record
This year, AG Super Play will participate in the AIC competition, and failed to enter the quarterfinals, which also allows everyone to see the strength of foreign teams, which is really not something we can play in the past by forming a team. Next year's AIC will continue to be held, and there will be no conflict with the World Championship, and the time will be adjusted to June, which is about the same as the summer competition on the KPL side. And the prize money will be upgraded to $2 million, the highest in history.
The World Championship prize pool reaches $10 million
The most anticipated World Championship will be held in October next year, and the total prize pool can reach $10 million, of which the champion will have $3.5 million. The version used in this competition is the great fusion version of the Glory of Kings and the International Version of glory of kings, which can also be said to be a major event in the history of glory of kings. Two games with completely different styles of art will gradually approach within a year, especially in terms of maps and ancient creatures, which will definitely become more and more similar, and the heroes may be presented in a skin-like manner, retaining the heroes shared by the two games and eliminating independent heroes.
AWC places are highly competitive
In the past, the domestic world championship was always complained that it was KPL's own game, and the participating teams were nothing more than KPL and KGL teams, and there were Korean teams to participate in the past few years, and now it is completely gone. Therefore, King glory also hopes to operate a real world championship, and next year's world championship will be a subversive attempt. RPL, AOG, GCS, ASL these divisions will compete with the KPL division. Maybe the number of places in the KPL region will still be slightly more, but there are only 16 teams participating in total, and the number of places in the KPL division should only be 6-8, which is equivalent to most of the KPL can not participate.
Version fusion has become the biggest attraction
The biggest attraction of next year's World Champion is the version fusion. Before we can only see the KPL club confrontation, the strength of foreign teams is obviously insufficient, because the game has always been the same version as our players, the king glory game itself does not have a real foreign service, although there are many heroes and king glory similar, but more or less have some differences, the two games also have their own original heroes. AG's conquest of AIC this time, Ziel, Star Aoi, and Lorient used by Anan are all heroes that the national costume version does not have, and even similar skills are not. The mirrors on our side, Lan and Yun miao, are also unique.
Next year's fusion version of the World Championship will use the common heroes of both sides, which is undoubtedly a big shuffle for the KPL team, it doesn't matter if you play the mirror and Lan, the Ma Chao on the side is gone, and the same is true for the International Version of the Glory of kings, and the tactical system of all teams will change greatly.
Next year's world championship is just the beginning
Since Glory of Kings wants to host international events, next year's World Championship is only the first step and a preliminary attempt. The follow-up should gradually bring the styles of the two games closer, including ancient creatures, tower mechanics, map size, etc., and may develop to the last two games, only the hero's appearance is different, and the rest will tend to be the same. Anyway, this is an important step in the history of the glory of kings, and it is really quite looking forward to it!
