So far we have had three days of Arena of Valor World Cup action and as the dust begins to settle for the upcoming finals, we look to the future with these standings.

Building up to the Arena of Valor World Cup, there has been some stellar matchups over the last few days that will set the stage for the $200,000 grand prize. Released from the official Arena of Valor Twitter is a handy chart that shows the current standings and the results of the Group Stage matches.

As shared by the official Twitter, here are the current standings of the Arena of Valor World Cup.

Of course for many of us here in North America, we are cheering for the biggest underdog in the World Cup. North America are the ones with the least amount of experience in Arena of Valor and while they definitely lost to top seed Thailand, they did put up a solid fight. North America made up that loss by dishing out damage to Singapore and showing off their offensive tactics at the start of Day 3.

We’ve also seen constant use of what seems like an average character to pick up and play, Krixi, a fairy who can dish out massive magic damage and who has been a go to choice for many teams. Tank wise, we’re seeing a lot of Maloch and our favorite beast lady Arum has been banned more often than not. Superman is typically banned and the little rascal Teemee is often subject to the ban hammer. One hero that brings the excitement is Grakk, who is able to pull in enemies with a long hook for some quick plays. Character draft strategies seem to play a huge part of this event.

All in all, so far we have seen a solid establishment in the mobile gaming esports arena from Tencent in the early stages of the World Cup. Right before things kicked off, we actually gathered some thoughts from the Tencent eSports Director Ramon Hermann who very much believed in the idea of giving esports teams a foundation through their region, grounding them to places to make instant connections. He also spoke highly of the versatility that is found on playing on mobile devices and said that the upcoming Switch version carries a lot of similar ideals.

What happens from here is anyone’s game, but all of the action can be found on the official Arena of Valor Twitch channel.

UPDATE 7/27 -

Semi finals will begin on Friday (July 27th) at 5:30pm PDT (8:30pm EST) and will air on the Arena of Valor Twitch channel. Semi finalists include Thailand, China, Korea, and Chinese Taipei. There is a losers bracket that teams can fight through for another chance in the quarter finals.
