HONG KONG, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2025 PMHI, meticulously produced by NEOTV - Asia's premier esports tournament operator, concluded triumphantly at the AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong on June 29th. This prestigious event gathered 16 elite teams from across the globe, delivering a spectacular showcase of high-stakes competition over three intense days for esports enthusiasts worldwide. Ultimately, WBG from the PEL region claimed the championship title with a total of 163 points. WBG, alongside TT, will represent the PEL region in the upcoming 2025 Esports World Cup (EWC).
Innovative Match Point Format Ignites Grand Finals Drama
The tournament pioneered a dynamic "Match Point format", compelling leading teams to adopt more aggressive strategies and significantly boosting viewer excitement. During the climactic evening matches on Grand Finals Day, Brazil's INF briefly overtook WBG with 148 points, coming within striking distance of the Match Point threshold (152 points), only to become the prime target, leading to an early elimination. After Match 20, both INF and WBG entered the Match Point phase simultaneously, sustaining the white-knuckle championship suspense until the very last moment. Although Shenzhen WBG did not secure a WWCD in the final match, their consistent performance earned them the trophy with a total of 163 points.
Dual-City Production Model Transcends Physical Barriers
NEOTV deployed synchronized production hubs in both Shanghai and Hong Kong for this event. Leveraging NEOTV's proprietary Real-time Collaborative Hub and holographic spatiotemporal synchronization transmission technology, the setup achieved end-to-end audio and video transmission with millisecond latency across the 1200km distance between Shanghai and Hong Kong. This cutting-edge streaming technology delivered a cinematic viewing experience to the global audience.
Global Stream Matrix Creates Panoramic Viewing Experience
As Asia's leading esports production company, NEOTV engineered an intelligent streaming matrix with 22 dedicated feeds for the tournament. Beyond multilingual main broadcast stream, dedicated feeds - including pure gameplay, map overview, and player POV streams, were distributed globally to official tournament channels and certified content creators on major platforms via NEOTV's proprietary intelligent streaming distribution hub, establishing a comprehensive panoramic viewing ecosystem.
