Overview
KIC 2025 used a two-city Metro Manila schedule: group stage and the first knockout week took place at Shooting Gallery Studios in Makati, while the final week moved to Ayala Malls Manila Bay in Parañaque.[4] The official event page identifies the 16-team field; Midea reported the USD 1 million prize pool.[1][2]
HomeBois x Black Shrew Esport won the championship, with Nova Esports finishing runner-up.[3] The organizer confirmed the winner after the November 30 final.[3]
Anker’s own announcement confirms its official gaming charging partnership.[5] Midea documented its KIC collaboration and Chione Inverter AC activation.[2] Liquipedia additionally lists TECNO and TTRacing among sponsors, but no primary event-rights announcement for those two brands was located during this review.[6]
