Global Recognition: AoV’s International Impact
AoV was developed and released in October 2016, and it became not just a game but also a global sensation with tournaments all over. There’s the Arena Challenger Series Pro League in Taiwan, the Realm of Valor Pro League in Thailand, and the Arena of Glory in Vietnam. It’s not just limited to these places; there are more tournaments in Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, North America, and other countries.
Here’s a fun fact for the newcomers: The first AoV International Championship occurred in South Korea from November 23rd to November 26th, 2017. Believe it or not, more than 36 million people watched it online! This set a new record for mobile games worldwide, making mobile eSports the go-to standard.
Still looking at the numbers, AoV hit a whopping 100 million daily users in China, zooming to 200 million by 2017. In 2018, it notched over 13 million daily users outside China. Now, the big question: Is Arena of Valor dead? Well, the answer depends on the region you’re in.
In Southeast Asian (SEA) countries like Vietnam and Thailand, AoV is quite a big deal. But suppose you’re in the U.S. (which was the primary audience) or Europe, you might think AoV is slowing down, especially considering the League of Legends player base which is dominating the charts in those regions more than AoV. Why? Some folks deal with problems like non-English texts or trolls on EU servers.
Despite these challenges, AoV is alive and well in SEA countries. Although the entire hero lineup had been redesigned to appeal to more Western gamers, It’s still popular in places like Vietnam, proving that AoV is kicking and alive in its special way.
