Earlier this month, the Overwatch Champions Series (OWCS)<\/strong> announced the nine teams that would be part of its new partner programme for the 2025 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
These teams have been selected across three OWCS regions \u2014 Asia, North America and EMEA \u2014 and will provide additional commercial benefits to the organisations.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
This article takes a look at each OWCS 2025 partner team and details their history within Overwatch esports. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

\n \nMarking its return to Overwatch esports is the Gen.G <\/strong>brand, this time representing a new region. Previously the organisation owned and operated Overwatch League franchise Seoul Dynasty, whilst also having an academy team under the Gen.G moniker until 2022. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nAs Seoul Dynasty, the franchise\u2019s greatest achievement occurred at the Overwatch League 2020 Playoff Grand Finals, finishing second place in the event. Following the end of the Overwatch League in 2023<\/a>, Gen.G and Seoul Dynasty haven\u2019t competed in the Overwatch 2 scene. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nJoining Gen.G is Twisted Minds, <\/strong>an organisation that has been active within the Overwatch esports scene since 2021. Alongside competing within the Saudi eLeague \u2014 a regional league that aims to develop Saudi Arabia\u2019s esports scene \u2014 for the last few years, the organisation has gone on to qualify for OWCS\u2019 first Major in 2024 as well as the OWCS World Finals.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nFor 2025, the organisation has revamped its roster<\/a>, singing the likes of former Spacestation player Daniel ‘FunnyAstro’ Hathaway.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nThe final organisation that will represent EMEA as a partner team is Virtus.Pro. <\/strong>Entering the scene following the introduction of the OWCS in 2024<\/a>, the Armenia-based organisation signed a roster<\/a> ahead of the inaugural Esports World Cup. The team went on to secure a top-eight finish in the event, whilst also claiming back-to-back fourth places at OWCS 2024 Stage 3 and 4. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nSimilarly to Twisted Minds, Virtus.Pro has also shifted its roster around for the 2025 season, announcing three new signings including former ENCE player Ilari ‘Vestola’ Vestola<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

Image Credit: Team Liquid<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n \n \nOnly two teams have joined the OWCS 2025 partner programme from North America. However, the line-up includes a major name making its return to the scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nAfter more than seven years away Team Liquid <\/strong>has joined the Overwatch 2 ecosystem. The organisation\u2019s last competitive match occurred in Overwatch Contenders 2017 Season Zero: North America with a roster that included former London Spitfire and Philadelphia Fusion player Kim \u2018Fury\u2019 Jun-ho. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nA few days after being announced as a partner team, Team Liquid revealed its Overwatch 2 roster<\/a> which features former Toronto Defiant players Rupal \u2018Rupal\u2019 Zaman and Diego \u2018Vega\u2019 Moran.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nAlongside Team Liquid will be Spacestation<\/strong>, which is making its debut in the North American scene after competing in EMEA last year. Whilst plying its trade in OWCS\u2019 EMEA scene, the North American team placed third in the OWCS 2024 Major and secured top-eight finishes at the Esports World Cup and OWCS World Finals.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nFollowing its move to North America, Spacestation revamped its roster for the 2025 season, with five new players<\/a> including former Toronto Defiant and NRG Shock players, Kamden \u2018Sugarfree\u2019 Hijada and Kim \u2018Kellan\u2019 Min-Jae, respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

Image credit: Joe Brady, ESL FACEIT Group<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n \n \nAsia has secured the most amount of partner teams for the 2025 OWCS season with four teams announced. Interestingly, all four of Asia\u2019s partner programme representatives are competing in the Korean league. For context, OWCS Asia is split into Japan, Korea and the Pacific, with the top teams entering OWCS Asia.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nUnspurisngly, OWCS 2024 World Champion Team Falcons <\/strong>has been announced as one of Asia\u2019s four representatives. After joining the Overwatch scene in 2021, Team Falcons entered the OWCS following its formation last year and secured a top-two finish in the competition\u2019s first Major. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nFollowing its triumphs in 2024, it is also no surprise to see that the Saudi Arabian organisation has made no changes to its majority-Korean roster. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nAlso securing a partner team spot is OWCS 2024 world finalist Crazy Raccoon<\/strong>. The Japanese esports organisation entered Overwatch 2 following OWCS\u2019 launch and has achieved several accolades already.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nWith its Korean roster, Crazy Raccoon won OWCS Asia Stage 1, the competition\u2019s first Major and the Esports World Cup. Similarly to Team Falcons, the organisation has not announced any changes to its line\u2013up for 2025.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nMaking its return to the Overwatch scene is South Korean esports powerhouse T1<\/strong>. Whilst the brand hasn\u2019t officially been seen since Overwatch Contenders 2022, the team is part of a joint venture with one of Overwatch League\u2019s previous franchise owners, Comcast Spectacor.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nAs Seoul Infernal (formerly Philadelphia Fusion), the franchise was a regular competitor in the Overwatch League until the competition\u2019s cancellation. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nOWCS\u2019 final Asian representative is Japanese esports organisation ZETA Division. <\/strong>Operating with an unchanged squad from its 2024 season, ZETA\u2019s Korean roster notably finished in the top four at the Esports World Cup. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nPrior to its re-debut in 2024, ZETA Division previously competed in the Overwatch scene back in 2019.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nWhat do OWCS partner teams gain?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nAs OWCS partner teams, the organisations are entitled to greater commercial opportunities throughout the year. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nAccording to OWCS, this means that teams will receive a portion of the proceeds from crowdfunded in-game team packs. This includes branded in-game cosmetics. The exact percentage that teams will revive has not been disclosed.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nOverwatch 2 is not the only esport to launch a partner programme that includes crowdfunding initiatives, with titles such as VALORANT <\/a>and Rocket League<\/a> using similar revenue methods for teams. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
