The Overwatch Champions Series (OWCS) has partnered with multinational logistics company DHL.
As a result of the deal, the company will collaborate with the Overwatch 2 esports circuit across a range of activations, starting with Stage 3, which began on September 6th.
As an official partner of the OWCS, DHL branding will be integrated into the highlights packages shown during event broadcasts during Stage 3 and the Global Finals taking place at DreamHack Stockholm from November 28th to 30th.
At the Global Finals, DHL will host its !DHL Drop activation, where fans in attendance can win a range of exclusive prizes. The initiative has previously featured at Counter-Strike 2 events operated by ESL FACEIT Group.
Alongside the DHL Drop, the company’s CARGO mascot will also make an appearance during broadcasts.
In addition to the activations taking place at the Global Finals, fans will be able to participate in a predictions game during Stage 3 for EMEA and North America. Fans who submit correct predictions can win flights, accommodation, and ‘a behind-the-scenes look at the OWCS Finals’.
DHL is no stranger to collaborating with ESL FACEIT Group and the events it operates. In August 2024, the two parties secured a multi-year extension to their existing deal, which was first established in 2018.

According to Esports Charts, the Overwatch Champions Series 2025 Midseason event that took place as part of the Esports World Cup recorded the title’s highest viewing figures of the year so far, peaking at over 177,000 during a match between T1 and Team Falcons.
