Guys how big is hok as a game and eSports in china? Just saw kpl grand finals and bro the production and everything is so insane for a mobile game eSports. Like it's 10 maybe 100 times better than what lpl is like.

cant give you the exact numbers but its easily one of the most popular games in china (might even be the most), like every chinese person knows it and probably has played it once in their life if they own a mobile phone

It was insanely big in china back in 2016, i remember everyone in school playing it. The esports scene of hok is slowly dying (Not that it was big as LoL anyways)

Even when dying it's this insane. No wonder riot tries so hard for games to flourish there. And the winner won 3 million dollars which is so insane. Also why lol eSports despite being the biggest in china still has low quality production for even finals? Talking about lpl.

Why did they release this game so late in global? They could become big eSports globally cause of Asia. Which was made earlier mlbb or hok?

hok 2015, mlbb in 2016

internationally

hok obv is 24 while mlbb is 16

reasons: porting games internationally costs a lot and the market isnt all that big to begin with, they have a really big monoply over the biggest market so they didnt see a reason to, my guess for why they just made a new game is that they saw mlbbs and even wr's success over the years and decided to do it as well
