PUMA sponsors China’s top Honor of Kings competition King Pro League (KPL). Honor of Kings is the Chinese version of Arena of Valor and is one of the biggest esports title in the world, even though the tournaments are limited to China. KPL is the seasonal Honor of Kings tournament where teams can qualify from competing into multiple regional tournaments or get a franchised slot for a particular amount.
