Overview
The 2017 Honor of Kings Champion Cup ran from July 27 to August 19, with the elimination rounds at Shanghai’s Daining New Venue and the final at Sichuan Provincial Gymnasium in Chengdu. The single-elimination tournament used best-of-five matches in the round of 16 and best-of-seven matches thereafter.[1][2]
QGhappy beat eStar 4–2 in the final. The reported CNY 2.688 million was an initial bounty pool distributed among the 16 teams, with match results reallocating portions of the bounty; QGhappy’s reported CNY 1.02 million was its cumulative winnings, not a separately announced fixed prize pool.[2][3]
The contemporary participant list names 16 teams, and every entrant now links to a canonical Honor of Kings Team profile. Sprite’s final-site activation is documented as a historical event sponsorship.[1][2]
