What 175PT does

175PT (深圳市壹柒伍网络科技股份有限公司 / Shenzhen 175 Network Technology Co., Ltd.) is a China-based Counter-Strike 1.5/1.6 gaming and esports platform operator founded in 2008 and headquartered in Shenzhen. The company runs the 175电竞平台 (175 Esports Platform), a self-developed client-server infrastructure that hosts multiple CS game modes — 混战服, 镇魔前传, 死亡服, 跳跃服, 约战服, 僵尸服 — for Chinese FPS gaming communities. Its technology stack includes a proprietary anti-cheat module (反作弊模块), a player statistics and ranking engine, a guild/clan management system (公会系统), a virtual currency (酷币/KB) transaction platform, and a competitive matchmaking infrastructure. The platform also hosts the sub-branded CS title 龙之灵 (Dragon Spirit) and two web games: 王者联盟 (a tower defense strategy game) and 阴阳冕 (an open-world RPG), each holding separate ISBN game publication approvals.

The company monetizes through five streams: (1) virtual currency (酷币) sales via WeChat Pay and Alipay at approximately 10 CNY per 100KB; (2) VIP subscriptions providing priority server access and in-game perks (sold as day/week/month/annual cards); (3) virtual item sales in its item mall (shop.175pt.com) including weapon skins, equipment cards, and character skins; (4) premium vanity account (靓号) sales; and (5) a streamer certification program with tiered rewards across Douyin, Kuaishou, and Bilibili. Distribution occurs through ~1500 affiliated/加盟 servers across Chinese regions, the 175PT V3.0 downloadable client, and web-based portals. The customer base is entirely consumer — individual CS1.5/1.6 gamers organized into guilds, with no enterprise segment. The platform was listed on China's New Third Board (新三板) in 2016 under stock code 837429.

Broad incumbents

• FACEIT: Global competitive gaming platform with strong CS:GO/CS2 presence, anti-cheat technology and matchmaking-as-a-service; broader in geographic scope and game coverage than 175PT, but overlapping competitively in the FPS matchmaking niche.
• Tencent Interactive Entertainment: Dominant Chinese and global gaming operator (CrossFire, Honor of Kings, League of Legends). Relevant as the upstream owner of key FPS IPs in China and as the central counterparty for licensing negotiations any niche FPS platform must consider.
• ESL Gaming (ESL FACEIT Group): Global esports tournament organizer and competitive platform; overlaps with 175PT's esports/tournament leg (e.g., 中國星現金大賽 prize events) but operates at vastly larger scale and geographic breadth.
• Perfect World (完美世界): Major Chinese publisher-operator of MMOs and esports titles (DOTA2, CS:GO in China via partnership). Comparable in being a listed Chinese gaming operator but operates at much larger scale across many game categories.
• NetEase Games: Major Chinese game publisher-operator across PC, web and mobile; comparable as a NEEQ/A-share-listed Chinese gaming platform of far larger scale, useful for benchmarking monetization, regulatory posture and content mix.

Others

• Steam (Valve): Primary digital distribution platform for Counter-Strike and indirectly the upstream CS engine. Not a direct competitor but the central enabler/constraint for any third-party CS service, including 175PT's CS1.6 client distribution.

Direct peers

• ESEA (E-Sports Entertainment Association): Long-running North American CS matchmaking and anti-cheat platform; functionally similar to 175PT in offering ranked servers, anti-cheat, leagues and premium subscriptions, providing a useful benchmark for international expansion.
• 5EPlay (5E对战平台): A leading Chinese Counter-Strike and other-FPS matchmaking platform; closest functional analogue to 175PT with similar server hosting, anti-cheat, guild and battle-pass features, although it has expanded to CS:GO/CS2 which gives it a modern-engine advantage.
• B5电竞 (B5CSGO): Chinese CS:GO/CS2 competitive matchmaking and guild platform with anti-cheat focus; directly comparable to 175PT in product scope (matchmaking, guilds, ranked play, virtual items) but serves the modern Counter-Strike audience.

Emerging players

• Wargaming: While primarily a tank/military shooter publisher (World of Tanks), the company has historically operated regional matchmaking/anti-cheat infrastructure in China that intersects with 175PT's anti-cheat and server-management competencies.
