After a fierce summer season in the 2026 King Pro League (KPL), the top two esports teams faced off at Xiamen Olympic Sports Center. Chongqing Wolves had dominated much of the regular season, while Guangzhou TTG fought their way out of the losers' bracket with an incredible run. Transfers over the season meant former teammates became rivals on this grand final night.

At 10 p.m. on September 12, the two sides were tied after six intense games. In the decisive seventh match, TTG seized every opening and pushed relentlessly to claim victory.

Huang Cheng, head of KPL at Honor of Kings Esports, said the players' grit and teamwork showed what the league is about. The KPL will keep bringing that energy to cities across the country – thrilling matches and crowds to match, he added.

Honor of Kings is one of the world's most popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) mobile games. The KPL is the game's top professional esports tournament in China.
