Each team is allowed up to one player who is not a resident of the team’s home region.
The imported player must also be contracted with the respective team for at least six months.
Honor of Kings' esports scene will also be divided into seven regions to differentiate imports.
There is an exception to this rule, which is only activated when a match reaches seven games.
The Ultimate Battle mode features a blind draft with no restrictions, allowing the selection of previously banned heroes.
As a result, teams may have the same hero lineups in the mode.
The upcoming 2025 Honor of Kings esports calendar will implement the aforementioned new rules.
With these new regulations, the difference between the KPL and the rest of the world might be lessened.
