The Arena of Valor World Cup (AoV), which is set for October 2022, will feature a massive prize pool of $10 million, the larges for a single event in the history of mobile esports. The World Cup will feature teams from all around the world, and will feature 16 teams from all major regions.
The tournament was first announced in September, with the plan that Tencent would merge Arena of Valor and Honor of Kings (the Chinese version of the game), for the global event. The prize pool was originally set at $8 million, but has since increased to $10 million.
From January to May 2022, Pro Leagues will run in multiple regions, and top teams from each region will advance to the AOV International Championship in 2022, which will take place in June. After completing the AIC 2022, the second season of the Pro Leagues will run from July to September, paving the way for sides to enter the AoV World Cup.
A new localized point system has also been introduced for teams. They will be able to accumulate points throughout the year in their regional tournaments to earn spots for the AoV.
