China's esports scene just leveled up! 🚀 The 2025 Honor of Kings KPL Grand Final smashed records earlier this month with 62,196 fans packing Beijing's iconic Bird's Nest Stadium – the largest live audience ever for a single esports event.
Saudi Esports Federation Chairman Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud told CGTN Sports Scene: "China's rapid rise in competitive gaming mirrors its tech innovation spirit. What they've built here isn't just tournaments – it's a cultural bridge connecting players worldwide." 🌐
The royal gaming advocate highlighted how Chinese-developed titles like Honor of Kings are reshaping global esports: "When 60,000+ fans cheer together in Beijing, you feel gaming's power to unite generations. China's mix of cutting-edge infrastructure and creative storytelling sets a new standard."
This comes as Saudi Arabia expands its US$38 billion gaming initiative, with analysts predicting increased collaboration between Chinese developers and Middle Eastern investors. 💼📈
