The Arena of Valor International Championship 2018 (AIC 2018) is the second Arena of Valor international tournament in 2018. This is a 4-week competition with the greatest teams from across the globe competing for a prize pool of $600,000 beginning November 23rd, 2018.
Twelve teams from across the globe will compete this weekend, live from Vietnam, for one of eight open spots in the upcoming group stage of the competition. Once those eight teams have been selected, they will be joined by the four top teams from the AWC. These twelve teams will then be competing in two weeks of head to head group stages for a chance at four seats in the finals and the title of International Champion.
In summary, Global Ban Pick is a rule that the same hero cannot be played more than once in a game within the same team. Heroes that were used by the team in the previous match are automatically banned in their remaining matches during the same game.
The Arena of Glory Series B Season 1 is the first Arena of Glory Series B season hosted by Garena Vietnam for Arena of Valor semi professional teams in Vietnam.
