Overwatch Esports Adds New China Tournament For 2025
Overwatch Esports has confrimed a new tournament date for the 2025 schedule, as they're headed to China for an event in April
Article Summary
- Overwatch Esports is launching a new tournament in China in April 2025 as part of the Overwatch Champions Series.
- The event will take place at Hangzhou Esports Center, marking a major stop in the tournament's Stage 1.

Overwatch Esports and the ESL FACEIT Group have confirmed a new tournament stop for the Overwatch Champions Series, as they're headed to China this April. The team made the announcement on Twitter/X, confirming that they will hold the Champions Clash at the Hangzhou Esports Center in Hangzhou, China, for a dedicated Chinese region tournament as part of Stage 1. An exact set of dates has not been confirmed yet, though we're guessing that will change by the end of January as we're sure they'd like to sell tickets to the event far in advance of it happening.
It is also unclear how this will exactly play into the greater standings and qualifiers for the major stops along the way, as usually, teams who place high in these events move onto bigger events with placements. After seeing how last year ran, it will be interesting to see how a new Stage 1 setup will be integrated into the system, as DreamHack Dallas would be the eventual destination for teams in this event.
