PTG Database Analysis
OTS was the abbreviation for Overwatch Team Story, a chapter-based Overwatch series launched by Zhanqi TV in 2016. Launch coverage described it as a Blizzard-authorized competition and identified Shanghai as the location for the inaugural offline event.[1]
The series brought Chinese teams together with a Korean field as it evolved. Liquipedia records 16 teams and a ¥350,000 CNY prize pool for Chapter 2 in 2017; over.gg reported another 16-team field and a ¥300,000 CNY pool for Chapter 4 in early 2018. These are separate chapter figures rather than one combined total.[2][3]
The sources establish the historical organizer, format changes and prize money announced for two chapters, but do not provide a complete record of every chapter, its champions or any current continuation. The parent page therefore treats OTS as a historical competition property and does not infer ongoing rights or commercial inventory.[1][2][3]
