Gaming fam, check this out! 🕹️ Earlier this month, the 2025 Honor of Kings KPL Grand Final lit up the National Stadium in Beijing (aka the Bird’s Nest) with a jaw-dropping 62,196 fans—making it the most-attended single esports event EVER! 🎉
Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud, head honcho of the Saudi Esports Federation, was on the scene and shared how amazed he is by the Chinese mainland’s esports boom. He noted that esports isn’t just games—it’s a cultural force bringing people together. 🤝🔥
