Tryke Gutierrez, the owner of Blacklist Rivalry, has been making waves in the esports industry. With the recent success of his Dota2 team and his Wild Rift team, it is no surprise that he is now setting his sights on the mobile esports world. In particular, Gutierrez has revealed his aspirations for Honor o fKings esports, and it’s clear that he sees a bright future for the game.
Honor of Kings is a mobile MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) game developed by Tencent Games. It was first released in 2015, and since then, it has become one of the most popular mobile games in the world. In fact, in 2022, it generated over 2.2 billion U.S. dollars in global in-app revenues, making it one of the top-grossing mobile games of all time.
Gutierrez’s interest in Honor of Kings is not unfounded. The game has a massive player base in China, with over 100 million daily active users as of 2021. It has also been growing in popularity outside of China, with a global release in 2021 and a closed beta in Brazil in 2022. Gutierrez is undoubtedly hoping to tap into this large and growing market with his esports team.
In a recent interview, Gutierrez revealed that he has been closely following the Honor of Kings esports scene and that he is impressed by the skill level of the players. He also stated that he believes that Honor of Kings has the potential to be the next big mobile esports game. Gutierrez even hinted that he may be forming an Honor of Kings team in the near future, stating that he has been in talks with some of the top players in the game.
If Gutierrez does form an Honor of Kings team, it could be a game-changer for the mobile esports industry. The game has already had some success as an esports title, with numerous tournaments and leagues being held in China. In fact, the 2022 Honor of Kings World Champion Cup had a prize pool of over 1.9 million U.S. dollars. However, it has yet to make a big impact on the global esports scene.
With Gutierrez’s experience in the esports industry and his success with his other teams, an Honor of Kings team under his ownership could be just what the game needs to gain a foothold in the global market. Blacklist Rivalry has already proven that they have what it takes to compete at the highest level, and if they can bring that same level of skill and professionalism to Honor of Kings, they could be a force to be reckoned with.
One of the biggest challenges that Gutierrez and any other team owner in the mobile esports industry will face is the lack of infrastructure. Unlike traditional esports games like Dota 2 or League of Legends, which have established leagues and tournament circuits, mobile esports titles have yet to fully develop their own infrastructure. However, this also presents an opportunity for Gutierrez and other team owners to help shape the mobile esports industry and create a sustainable ecosystem for the future.
In addition to infrastructure, another challenge for mobile esports is the lack of recognition in the broader esports community. While games like Dota 2 and League of Legends are well-known even outside of the esports community, mobile games like Honor of Kings have yet to achieve that same level of recognition. However, with the growing popularity of mobile gaming, it is only a matter of time before mobile esports titles like Honor of Kings become more widely recognized.
Tryke Gutierrez’s aspirations for the Honor of Kings esports scene is an exciting development for the mobile gaming community. His experience as a team owner and passion for the esports industry make him a valuable addition to the Honor of Kings community. With his vision and leadership, there’s no doubt that Blacklist Rivalry will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in the mobile esports industry. As the mobile gaming industry continues to grow, more and more opportunities for esports are emerging. It’s clear that Honor of Kings is a game that has captured the attention of players worldwide, and with the support of individuals like Tryke Gutierrez, it has the potential to become a major player in the esports industry. Whether you’re a fan of mobile gaming, esports, or both, it’s worth keeping an eye on the developments surrounding Honor of Kings and Blacklist Rivalry in the months and years to come.
