The 2024 Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, witnessed an electrifying conclusion to the Honor of Kings Invitational Midseason tournament grand finals. In the finale, China’s KPL Dream Team emerged victorious, decisively defeating Malaysia’s LGD Gaming with a commanding 3-0 score in the best-of-five series.

LGD Gaming, the only Malaysian team to reach the semi-finals, showcased impressive skill throughout the tournament. They secured their spot in the finals after overcoming Brazilian teams LOOPS in the quarter-finals and VIVO KEYD STARS in the semi-finals. This victory was particularly noteworthy as LGD Gaming had previously beat VIVO KEYD STARS in the S2 season of the King of Glory Intercontinental Invitational.

The KPL Dream Team’s path to the championship was equally impressive. They dispatched Myanmar’s Impunity 2-0 in the quarter-finals and swept Hong Kong’s AG Global 3-0 in the semi-finals. This dominant performance continued into the finals, where they maintained a perfect record without dropping a single game throughout the entire tournament.

Despite their tenacious fighting spirit and technical prowess, LGD Gaming was unable to secure a win against the formidable KPL Dream Team in the finals. The Chinese squad’s flawless victory earned them the top prize of $1,000,000 USD, while LGD Gaming secured $500,000 as runners-up from the tournament’s $3,000,000 prize pool. KPL Dream Team’s farm lane player, Yinuo, was awarded the Final MVP (FMVP) title for his outstanding performance, particularly with the character Arli.

While the tournament has concluded, Honor of Kings enthusiasts can still participate in on-site events at the Riyadh venue until August 25, 2024, where they can complete challenges to win prizes.
