Disguised have announced the departure of flex DPS player Julian "Rokit" Pizana, thanking him for representing the organisation across the past two stages and for the effort he put into the team. The announcement adds that Disguised will continue to evaluate how to position the roster for success heading into the next stage. Rokit responded shortly afterwards, saying he was "surprised initially but given our results it makes sense for them to want to shake things up." He wished the team well an

After their first-place campaign at the Midseason Championship, ZETA DIVISION announced the departure of coach Kim "GgulTaek" Jeong-youn. In a later follow-up tweet, GgulTaek explained that his departure from the team was due to health concerns that had arisen prior to joining ZETA at the start of the year. While it is unclear whether GgulTaek will return to ZETA later, he thanked both the fans and the staff for their support during his time with the organisation and urged fans to continue sup

Kristian "Kellex" Keller says he is still owed roughly $23,000 in prize money by Al Qadsiah, more than a year after he helped the organisation to some of the best results in their history. He is not the only player waiting, and the money is not the part he wants to talk about most. Al Qadsiah had a 2025 season that most organisations in EMEA would envy. They won the first Saudi eLeague major, took OWCS 2025 EMEA Stage 2, finished second at the Midseason Championship during the Esports World Cu

Blizzard used the Season 4: Heroes of Busan Developer Update to reveal the World Cup Cheer Rally, an in-game event that lets players back one of the Overwatch World Cup's three conferences and earn rewards for doing so. The rally runs from September 1 to 14, and the developers framed it as the first in-game esports event. The timing puts the event squarely between the two halves of the World Cup. The Group Stage lands in Busan first, with the Playoffs following at BlizzCon 2026. How the Chee

T1 head coach Yun "RUSH" Hee-won has apologised for suggesting Jetpack Cat's movement was bugged on the tournament client at the Midseason Championship, acknowledging the hero behaved normally from the opponent's perspective. OWTV's own testing on both clients supports that, finding the hero's movement identical and only her third person camera behaving differently. On August 3, in a now-deleted tweet, RUSH shared a short clip of Jetpack Cat performing unusually fast manoeuvres with Lifeline ac

Day 4 of the Midseason Championship cut the field to four, with Crazy Raccoon swept out of Paris by T1, Weibo Gaming ending Spacestation Gaming's run for the fourth LAN running, and ZETA DIVISION and Twisted Minds both advancing without much trouble. The final day of the Overwatch Champions Series 2026 Midseason Championship settles it. T1 meet ZETA DIVISION in an all-Korean semi-final, and Twisted Minds face Weibo Gaming in the other, with the losers dropping into a third-place match. Both sem

On the final day of the 2026 Midseason Championship, Blizzard Entertainment announced multiple map reworks set to launch with the arrival of Season 4. Overwatch Game Producer Ren Soanes went through the changes in great detail coming to Paraíso, Eichenwalde, and Busan. The first rework we got to see was Paraíso, the Brazilian hybrid map that was released with the Launch of Overwatch 2 back in 2022. As Ren Soanes took us through the map, we saw a plethora of changes focused on providing new flan

Day 3 of the Midseason Championship settled the top eight, sending defending champions Team Falcons and EMEA champions Virtus.pro out of Paris in the process. A live draw at the end of the group stage then set the quarter-final pairings. The quarter-finals of the Overwatch Champions Series 2026 Midseason Championship are single-elimination, with no lower bracket to fall into. Every match is a first-to-three, the four winners secure a top-four finish, and the four losers go home. Here's how Day

After three days of competitive group-stage play at the 2026 Midseason Championship of the Esports World Cup, the playing field has been cut in half, with only eight teams remaining. A draw was held at the end of the group stage to figure out how these teams will clash in the playoffs. The teams that finished in the upper bracket (TM, WBG, CR, & ZETA) would be randomly chosen for an order. The fate of these teams was in the hands of Félix "Féfé" Munch, the manager of Team Peps, and a local F

Day 2 of the Midseason Championship closed with four teams out of Paris and Crazy Raccoon and Weibo Gaming through to the playoffs. Day 3 settles the remaining six places at the Overwatch Champions Series 2026 Midseason Championship, with qualification for the winners and elimination for the losers across the day's slate.

Before the third day of competition at the 2026 Midseason Championship at the Esports World Cup, Blizzard revealed the Overwatch World Cup Jerseys and the Overwatch Champions Series Partner Team Skins. After showcasing the OWWC Jerseys in a commercial, Fernando explained that each country participating in the OWWC Group Stage LAN in Korea has their own model and design (best seen on Japan and South Korea’s sleeves) incorporated into the base design. Each region has slight unique differences,

As the best of the best fight on in the 2026 Midseason Championship at the Esports World Cup in Paris, some teams have started to make roster moves in preparation for the upcoming Stage 3. In Japan, ENTER FORCE.36 have decided to add a new tank to bolster their lineup: the legendary Lee "Fearless" Eui-Seok. Fearless has an incredible career of highs and lows, and after two years away from Overwatch - due to South Korea’s mandatory military service - Fearless has returned to write a new chapter

With Day 1 done and dusted, we now have our first impressions of where each team stands and a clearer picture of their paths towards the coveted $1,000,000 prize pool. Here's how Day 1 panned out: ZETA DIVISION 2 - 0 VARREL ZETA DIVISION opened the tournament with a statement. With Bastion and Mauga banned, Lee "knife" Seon-woo went Emre to start, and Daisuke "Nico" Fujikawa answered on Freja. With Mizuko off the map, bo

Twisted Minds have had a bit of a rollercoaster of a stage. Finishing the Regular Season with a 4-1 record, losing only to the undefeated Virtus.pro. However, that record does not fully represent their run. They were uncharacteristically sloppy, going to numerous Map 5s against teams that you would expect them to roll through with no issue. They went into the playoffs to turn things around, but things didn’t exactly go according to plan. A win against Al Qadsiah, but two back-to-back reverse s

As the third-place team in OWCS China, All Gamers are heading into the Midseason Championship with nothing to lose. Stage 1 of OWCS China was defined by the rivalry between All Gamers and JD Gaming. After a demoralizing 0-3 loss to JD Gaming in their first regular season meeting, All Gamers won their next three matchups against the team, with two of those games going to five maps. Thanks to standout Tracer performances from Hua “Alphari” Yankai and a much stronger grasp of the Cat/Bastion meta

After a disappointing Stage 1 finish where Geekay Esports failed to qualify for the Champions Clash, the team came out of nowhere to finish second in the EMEA playoffs and secure their spot at the Esports World Cup. The start of Stage 2 was a bit rocky. Despite pulling Kristian “Kellex” Keller out of retirement to upgrade their roster, their regular season wasn’t inspiring by any means - they finished with a record of 2-3, only beating the bottom two teams, 1234 and Telacy. A five-map banger a

Three months ago, Xu “Guxue” Qiulin said in a post-match interview that the current Weibo Gaming team was “different” compared to last year. Three months later, Guxue’s words—“今年真的不一样了,” or “this year really is different”—were so well-known among dissatisfied Weibo Gaming fans that the team printed the slogan on a tongue-in-cheek series of coffee mugs. Has Weibo Gaming really changed? After some roster upgrades in the form of tank Chen “Sunzo” Cheng, main support Lee “LeeSooMin” Soo-min, and fl
