BTK brings act to Honor of Kings after years in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
BTK (Blood Thirsty Kings) is entering the Honor of Kings competitive scene after years of making waves in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. BTK, the top MLBB team in North America, officially joined HOK with its core led by captain Michael 'MobaZane' Cosgun together with Ian 'FwydChickn' Hohl, Jang 'Hoon' Seong-hun, Ziameth-Jei 'ZIA' Caluya, Vo 'Shark' Trung, and Carlos 'Bestplayer1' Ortega Vega. BTK became the latest talent to transfer to HOK from MLBB following the trio of Tristan "Yawi" Cabrera, Renejay "Renejay" Barcarse, and John Paul "H2WO" Salonga. ?BTK first made an impression during the M3 World Championship in 2021, sending Philippine powerhouse Blacklist International to the lower bracket during their playoff clash, but bowed to the same team in the LB finals. "Honor of Kings is a very unique game with countless talented players and a very refreshing gameplay experience," MobaZane said. "My team and I are learning fast. We will do our best and rally our communities to quickly catch up with the global regions." —Bea Micaller/JMB, GMA Integrated News

Unlock the Power of the Battlefield: How to Top Up Honor of Kings and Dominate Every Match
In the realm of mobile gaming, few titles command as much attention and passion as Honor of Kings. Developed by TiMi Studios and published by Tencent Games, this multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game has captivated millions with its intense strategy, stunning visuals, and thrilling real-time battles. Whether you are a seasoned warrior or a newcomer learning the ropes, topping up your Honor of Kings account is one of the most effective ways to boost your gaming experience and rise through the ranks faster than ever before. Topping up Honor of Kings means purchasing in-game currency—often referred to as vouchers or tokens—that allow players to unlock exclusive skins, buy heroes, and access premium features that are otherwise difficult to obtain. This not only enhances visual appeal but also offers tactical advantages. Limited-edition skins sometimes come with animations or voice lines that create an immersive feel, while certain heroes, when purchased early, can give you an edge over your opponents. To top up Honor of Kings, players can choose from several trusted methods. The most direct approach is through the in-game store, where you can use your preferred payment method to purchase vouchers securely. However, many players prefer third-party top-up platforms that often offer better conversion rates, promotional discounts, and even reward points for frequent transactions. Whichever method you choose, ensure the platform is legitimate and verified to protect your gaming account from scams or security threats. Once your top-up is complete, the possibilities within Honor of Kings open wide. From leveling up your heroes to joining ranked matches with more confidence, having the necessary in-game currency allows you to compete on an even playing field with top-tier players. Special in-game events also become more accessible with regular top-ups, letting you earn rare rewards that may never return once the event concludes. One of the most exciting parts of topping up Honor of Kings is the ability to personalize your gameplay. The game features an incredible array of character skins inspired by Chinese mythology, historical figures, and modern fantasy. These skins not only change your appearance but also reflect your progress and achievements, showcasing your dedication to other players on the battlefield. For international players, topping up Honor of Kings may require a few additional steps. Since the game was originally released for the Chinese market, some regional restrictions may apply. In such cases, using VPN services or dedicated international top-up platforms can ensure seamless access to vouchers and in-game items. Many websites now offer multilingual support, simplifying the process even for non-Chinese players eager to enjoy the full scope of what Honor of Kings has to offer. It's worth noting that while topping up Honor of Kings can bring great benefits, moderation is key. The game is designed to be enjoyable for both free-to-play and paying users. Strategy, team coordination, and skill ultimately determine success on the battlefield. Still, topping up remains a powerful tool for players who wish to enhance their journey, explore more content, and stand out in every skirmish. Whether you're unlocking a majestic skin, purchasing a new hero, or simply enjoying the thrill of a well-earned victory, the ability to top up Honor of Kings elevates the entire gaming experience. So equip your champions, enter the arena, and let your tactics and top-ups lead you to glory. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Yawi, Renejay, H2WO leave MLBB teams, move to Honor of Kings
Just hours after leaving their respective teams in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Tristan "Yawi" Cabrera, Renejay "Renejay" Barcarse, and John Paul "H2WO" Salonga bared their move to Honor of Kings. The former Nexplay troika transferred to Honor of Kings alongside renowned online influencers Setsuna "Akosi Dogie" Ignacio and Oscar "Sumpak" Romero. In a video released Thursday, Honor of Kings officially unveiled the quintet's move, marking a major shake-up in the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) scene, as all five were previously prominent figures in MLBB. Yawi was a former roamer for TNC while Renejay and H2WO previously suited up for Aurora and Smart Omega Neos (MDL), respectively. The three were also former teammates at Nexplay, which rose to prominence back in the day thanks to the influence of one of its pillars in Akosi Dogie. Sumpak, meanwhile, was also a former player for Nexplay before transitioning to content creation. —JKC, GMA Integrated News
