Tencent will attend its first E3 to show Arena of Valor — but not on Switch

Tencent‘s globally popular multiplayer online battle arena Arena of Valor arrived in North and South America in December, and it’s taking to the show floor at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) next week to hype showgoers on its esports potential. It’s the first time the Chinese tech giant has had a booth at the event, and it is partnering with esports organization ESL and Razer for the appearance.

The Valor Series playoffs will also happen at E3 on June 12-13. Four teams from North America and Europe will battle it out, and the two winners will have a chance to play for a prize pool of $550,000 at Tencent’s Arena of Valor World Cup, which will take place in July in Los Angeles. The playoffs will be held at the ESL E3 Arena, and players will use Razer phones to compete.
