Sa PH hindi pa ganun so eto stepping stone namin para mas lalong lumakas at mag-improve sa offline matches,&quot; Banaag shared ahead of the competition.(This will be a big help for us, and this will be an added experience in the offline stage because in the other regions, their qualifiers are offline, in the big stage. That&#x27;s not the case in the Philippines so this will be a stepping stone for us to get stronger and improve in offline matches.)China remains the powerhouse for the game, with the Honor of Kings exclusively available in the country since 2015. Outside of that, Malaysia is one of the more dominant countries, having won the HOK Invitational Season 2 this June and the mid-season Esports World Cup tournament in August.SIBOL is looking forward to facing China in the tournament, which, Banaag believes is an experience they are looking forward to.&quot;Sobrang gusto ko silang makalaban kasi kahit sabihin nating hindi tayo makapanalo, ‘wag naman sana, malaking experience samin ‘yun kasi ibang experience na talaga sila sa larangan na ‘to, sa Honor of Kings. Dagdag sobra sa experience at knowledge sa game, ‘yun ‘yung pinakamatututunan namin sa kanila,&quot; Banaag said. (I really want to face them because let&#x27;s say we do not win, hopefully that isn&#x27;t the case, that should be a big experience because they are already more experienced in this game. It will increase our experience and knowledge in the game. That&#x27;s what I want to learn from them.)<div>SIBOL - Honor of Kings team </div>• John Lloyd &quot;Impressive&quot; Dela Cruz | PHI.
