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.

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 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. Here's how Day 3 panned out: Virtus.pro 0 - 2 Twisted Minds The build-up to the first match of Day 3 was a powder keg ready to explode, and both sides reached for unusual p

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,

Crazy Raccoon 2 - 0 Spacestation Gaming Day 2 started with Crazy Raccoon dispatching Spacestation Gaming without much issue. They started on Nepal, with SSG banning Bastion and Crazy Raccoon banning D.Va. Xander "Hawk" Domecq rolled out on the Mauga,

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

On April 30th of this year, storied Argentinian organization 9z Team signed the South American roster Pisco Sour. 9Z is likely unfamiliar to competitive Overwatch fans, but this team’s history spans multiple titles and years of competition. By far the most successful and popular roster is their Counter-Strike team, who just won the XSE Pro League 2026 in Guangzhou, and consistently finished 5-8th in S-Tier events. Their VALORANT roster is also a mainstay in the Latin America South region, having

When the Dallas Fuel returned to competition following their Champions Clash finish, many were expecting a return to regional dominance just as it happened in Stage 1. It came as a big surprise to all after the Fuel lost their opening match of the stage 0-3, and looked to be thoroughly behind Spacestation Gaming. These concerns didn’t persist long, given that Dallas decisively won their remaining matches to end the regular season at 4-1, easily making it to the playoffs. While many expected th

At the 2026 Midseason Championship, JD Gaming are in a unique position to answer one question: is OWCS China at the same level as North America? Historically, the answer has been no. Aside from Weibo Gaming, the undisputed best team in China, Chinese teams have had a terrible track record at international events. Since China was added as an OWCS region in March 2025, the only time a non-Weibo Chinese team has ever won at a major was the JD Gaming squad’s match versus ZoKorp Esports at last yea

On March 25th of this year, Team Secret entered competitive Overwatch for the first time. Team Secret's history and name value are no secret, as this organization is a staple of multiple esports and has a rich history of accomplishments in games such as Dota 2, Valorant, Rainbow Six Siege, and The Finals. They hoped to continue their success story in Overwatch and began their endeavor by buying a team in the smallest region, the Pacific. With this team playing in such a small region, the average

Korea send more teams to the Midseason Championship than any other region, and three of the four arrive holding a trophy of some kind. Crazy Raccoon are the reigning champions of the most recent LAN, the Champions Clash. Team Falcons are the defending Midseason Championship winners. ZETA DIVISION are the reigning Korean champions. Only T1 arrive without silverware, and they may be the region's most dangerous unknown. All four land in Paris with a real claim on the title. Crazy Raccoon Crazy
