Twisted Minds win Overwatch Champions Series 2025 World Finals

Twisted Minds won the Overwatch Champion Series (OWCS) 2025 World Finals, defeating EMEA rival Al Qadsiah 4-1 in the Grand Finals.

Twisted Minds was one of 12 teams competing in the World Finals from November 26th to 30th, 2025. The organisation had established itself as one of the frontrunners after winning OWCS EMEA Stage 3.

However, Twisted Mind was up against fierce competition, including Mid-Season Championship winners Team Falcons, as well as Crazy Raccoon, the top team from Champions Clash.

Twisted Minds began its run with an explosive start, defeating teams like T1 in the Upper Bracket Quarterfinals 3-2 and earning a landslide 3-0 victory against Team Falcons. The squad appeared unstoppable until it reached the Upper Bracket Finals, where it suffered a 1-3 loss at the hands of Al Qadsiah.

Twisted Minds would subvert expectations by defeating Crazy Raccoon in the Lower Bracket Finals, earning a shot at revenge against Al Qadsiah in the Grand Finals. After five matches, Twisted Minds was crowned the champions of the OWCS 2025 season.

According to Esports Charts, the OWCS World Finals was the most popular Overwatch 2 esports event of the season.

The data platform claims the event reached a peak viewership of over 177,000 users during the Grand Finals match between Twisted Minds and Al Qadsiah. It saw over 4.3m hours watched, with an average viewership of roughly 114,400 across an air time of over 37 hours.

The 2025 World Finals surpassed last year’s viewership, which reached a peak of nearly 160,000. Though it is far from the most popular event in Overwatch’s history, falling behind 2018’s inaugural season for the Overwatch League, which attracted over 437,000 users.
