The Honor of Kings World Cup is down to its final stretch at the Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia. After several days of intense matches and big eliminations, just four teams are still in the running for the championship title and the massive $750,000 first-place prize.
The Final Four Teams Are Locked In
Today, the two semifinal matches will decide which teams advance to the grand final tomorrow, and which ones will settle for a shot at third place. The matchups are:
- ThunderTalk Global (TT Global) vs. Nova Esports
- Twisted Minds vs. AG.AL
These matches promise high-stakes action, with each team just one win away from the grand final, which takes place tomorrow, July 26, in Riyadh.
How Each Team Reached the Semifinals
The road to the semifinals wasn’t easy. The top four teams had to fight through single-elimination playoff matches on July 24, knocking out big names along the way. Here’s how it played out:
- TT Global cruised past Team Vitality with a dominant 4-0 sweep.
- Nova Esports eliminated OG Esports to secure their semifinal spot.
Alpha7 Esports earned their spot by defeating last season’s KPL Spring champions, AG.AL.
Twisted Minds took down Paws Gaming, securing the last place in the final four.
Sadly for Team Vitality and Alpha7 Esports, their journeys ended just short of the final after tough semifinal defeats. Both teams will now face off in the third-place match.
What’s on the Line: Prize Money and Club Points
The winning team will walk away with $750,000 and 1,000 EWC Club Points, contributing to their overall standing in the Esports World Cup. The total prize pool for the Honor of Kings World Cup is a whopping $3 million, making it one of the biggest mobile esports events in the world.
All matches are being streamed live across major platforms, so fans everywhere can tune in to catch the action.
