The Honor of Kings Major League Committee has announced forced changes to the list of participants in the 2026 spring tournament.
Teams Astar Esports, Alpha7 Esports, and Leviatán will not be able to take part in the competition due to “uncertainty with connecting flights” and other logistical problems.
“Due to disruptions on international routes, including airspace closures that have increased uncertainty around connecting flights, the transit routes of several teams were affected,” the official Honor of Kings Esports account said.
Despite the withdrawal of three teams, the event schedule will remain unchanged. The tournament will take place from March 12 to March 22. Participants will compete for a $35,000 prize pool and a slot at the 2026 Honor of Kings World Cup, which will be held as part of the Esports World Cup.
Earlier, NaVi won the Ukrainian derby, while B8 sensationally defeated FURIA.
