Team Philippines’ Honor of Kings squad is headed to the 2026 Esports Nations Cup after securing third place in the overall rankings, the team announced on Thursday.
“Now it’s your turn to join the fight by showing your support for Team PH every step of the way. Let’s show the strength of the Filipino Honor of Kings community,” the national team said in a social media post.
The Philippine squad finished with 6,495 points to earn a berth in the prestigious tournament, which will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this November.
The Honor of Kings team joins the country’s Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and VALORANT squads, which earned direct qualification, as well as the Dota 2 and League of Legends teams, both of which topped their respective regional qualifiers, in representing the Philippines at the event.
Blacklist International standouts Chammy “Chammy1” Nazarrea, Justine “Juschie” Tan, and Charles “Chazz” Esguerra will lead the country’s six-man roster.
Completing the lineup are Eleazar “Azar” Sall of TNT Tropang Alab and BOOM Esports teammates John “Daniii” Bulanadi and Heri “Tatsurii” Garcia.
Gerald “Tgee” Gelacio, also of Blacklist International, will serve as the team’s head coach.
