Honor of Kings is a popular mobile multiplayer** battle competitive game, while KIC and KPL are two important esports events for Honor of Kings. So, what is the difference between KIC and KPL?

First of all, we need to understand the basics of KIC and KPL. KIC is the abbreviation of the Honor of Kings World Championship Cup, the full name of which in English is Honor of Kings International Championship, which is a global e-sports event officially organized by "Honor of Kings", aiming to provide a competitive platform for Honor of Kings players from all over the world. The KPL, the full name of King Pro League, is the abbreviation of King Glory Professional League, which is the highest professional competition in Chinese mainland, consisting of major domestic clubs.

The differences between KIC and KPL are mainly manifested in the following aspects:

First, the design of the competition system

KIC is designed to be international, with teams from all over the world. The design of the KPL competition system pays more attention to the competitiveness of the domestic league, and the participating teams are all from Chinese mainland, and the competition process also pays more attention to the elements of the domestic league.

2. Participating teams

KIC teams come from all over the world, and each region has its own team, and each team has a different strength and style. For example, in 2023KIC, there are 16 teams entering the main competition, of which seven are from the KPL region, and the other nine teams are from Thailand, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Vietnam, Brazil and other different regions.

The KPL teams are all from Chinese mainland, and each team is composed of elite players from each club, and the strength is relatively close.

3. Competition time

KIC competitions are usually held around November each year, while KPL competitions are held in the spring and summer (fall) of each year. Therefore, in terms of game time, KIC and KPL do not conflict, and players can follow at the same time.

Fourth, the size of the bonus

The prize size is also one of the differences between KIC and KPL. For example, the total prize money of 2023KIC is as high as 69 million, while the total prize size of KPL has shrunk a lot, basically around 30 million. This also shows the difference between KIC and KPL in terms of prize size.

Fifth, the competition system is different

KIC is held once a year, and the tournament is divided into group stage and knockout stage. The KPL is held twice a year, in the spring and summer (formerly the fall), and each season is divided into regular season and playoffs.

To sum up, the differences between KIC and KPL are mainly reflected in the design of the competition system, the participating teams, the competition time and the size of the prize money, and the competition system. Although both events are important parts of the Honor of Kings esports event, they have different characteristics and styles in terms of design and positioning. For players, they can choose to follow different events according to their preferences and experience different game experiences.
