Kong King is a King of the Hill map. It was released in the August 10, 2012 Patch.
Kong King takes place in the middle of an unspecified Chinese city. It is the first official map released by Valve that is set in an urban environment. It is based on the video game Sleeping Dogs and was created by community member Valentin Levillain, aka 3Dnj.
The goal is to capture the control point and seize it for a duration of 3 minutes, while stopping the other team from doing the same.
