NAVI will make their Honor of Kings tournament debut at Major League Fall 2026, scheduled for 24–31 October. Eight teams contest US$30,000 and three Honor of Kings International Championship places.

Burmese Ghouls and NS RedForce also feature in NAVI’s 5 October participant announcement.

A new banner for an established roster

NAVI signed Nighty, hai1ang, TGold, Clue and JiaBao in September, with the players joining on loan from Talent Gaming.

The roster won Major League Spring 2026 and finished fifth to eighth at the Honor of Kings World Cup. Their first event as NAVI therefore follows an existing competitive record.

Qualification is the immediate test

That experience gives this debut a useful storyline: can the roster carry its earlier results into another qualifying campaign? The matches ahead will provide the answer.
