PTG Database Analysis
The Overwatch Premier Series was one of China’s visible early Overwatch circuits. Blizzard’s October 2017 event calendar listed its second-season conclusion in Shanghai, while contemporary results reporting records a separate Spring, Summer and Grand Finals program that year.[1][2]
The 2017 Grand Finals featured eight teams and distributed ¥700,000 CNY. Miraculous Youngster defeated 1246 4–2, adding a documented title to a team whose model relied on competitive recognition and player development. These figures apply to the Grand Finals event, not to a pooled lifetime series total.[2]
The series illustrates the value and limit of a publisher-backed regional circuit: it created recurring competition and a path into the wider international calendar, but its event-level prizes do not establish sustainable club revenue, sponsorship distribution or broadcast income. Those commercial terms are not documented in the cited official calendar.[1][2]
