The Arena of Valor World Cup is coming July 27th, and all twelve teams are currently in Thailand to not only train for the big event, but to play in a series of matches to determine their seeding.

Taiwan – JTeam

Ray Ning, Product Director of Arena of Valor Esports at Tencent, had the following to say about the boot camp:

The Arena of Valor World Cup 2018 Boot Camp held this year in Thailand aims to create the rare opportunity for players to understand their opponents and get used to the pressure of competition earlier. This will serve to efficiently increase the strength of all participating regions and improve the overall tournament viewer experience. Star players of AOV from all over the world will meet and embark on a journey they are sure to remember.
