                            Will "Honor of Kings" face its strongest rival this Spring Festival?
                        
                            Recently, the MOBA game "Winning Peak" developed by ByteDance's subsidiary Moonton Technology was officially launched in China. This slogan that appeared in the official video was seen as a direct challenge to "Honor of Kings". Not only that, "Winning Peak" also promised not to carry out strategies such as "matching manipulation" or "streak of wins and losing streaks" during its promotion, which directly hit the pain points of "Honor of Kings". On the eve of the Spring Festival, the two sides were already on the verge of a fight, and successively dominated the free list and the total list of IOS in the Apple Store. Many industry insiders believe that the arrival of "Winning Peak" in China is an important step for ByteDance to penetrate into Tencent's hinterland, and it may even stir up the situation of "one dominant company" in the domestic MOBA field.
